This week on "On AI," Beth welcomes back AI aficionado and philosopher, Lev Gorelov, for an insightful conversation. With a particular focus on the recent advancements with Claude III, Lev contrasts Claude III's approach to generations—geared towards creating engaging, personality-driven content—with the more traditional model (#openai 's #chatgpt) that prioritize business-oriented, "buttoned-up" outputs.  He also explains the fundamentals of why, using the same training data (the entirety of the internet), the outputs vary.Throughout the episode, Lev shares insights into how these tools are not just about generating content or improving human productivity, but are enhancing the creative process. Specifically:* Giving us practical methods on how to leverage LLM's as collaborative partners that help bridge ideas and refine storytelling. * Emphasizing the importance of using AI tools creatively and responsibly, * Highlighting their role in brainstorming and editing rather than replacing human creativity. Join Beth and Lev as they explore the future of AI in creative professions and education, pondering the broader implications of these technologies on our understanding of originality and creativity (you might want a pen handy to take some notes). Lev can be contacted at Lev@handshake.atHosted by Beth Lahr Yorkwww.bethonai.com www.bethlahryork.com
