Behind this provocative statement lies an undeniable reality: the energy and resource consumption of the digital sector has skyrocketed with the advent of generative AI. This is a certainty, even though obtaining quantified data on the impact of these AIs by companies in the sector is extremely difficult. It is therefore highly likely that we are underestimating the true extent of the problem.
What does this imply?
First, choose these uses, and therefore avoid using it for tasks that a search engine, or even our own brain, can do.
Next, learn to use it as efficiently as possible. That is, by minimizing the number of interactions with the robot. In other words, the more precise a prompt is, the faster it will be accurate and the fewer exchanges with the machine will be required.
These are precisely the values of eSqwad:
Artificial intelligence yes, but with the aim of solving real, high-value problems.
Artificial intelligence, yes, but as a support for collective intelligence. During workshops, some groups use it very thoughtfully, with discussions between humans guiding their thinking, and AI being used only to provide knowledge or help them overcome obstacles at specific times. This is undoubtedly the best way to use it in an eSqwad workshop.
The game mechanics themselves encourage limiting interactions with the AI. However, good prompting practices can also lead to faster and more satisfactory results.
🎉 So, if you've read this far, good news!
Here are five tips for writing your request effectively:
The most technical advice: Generative AI predicts the most appropriate response to the context given to it, nothing more.
The most important advice: Imagine the AI as an extremely gifted and cultured human, but one you can only contact by slipping notes under a door. However talented it may be, if you don't help it understand who you are and what you specifically expect from it, it won't be able to guess through the door. Give it as much context as possible.
The most pragmatic advice: Be clear about what you want and why you want it.
The most counterintuitive advice: Be direct; avoid polite formulas that dilute your message with unnecessary and extraneous words: AI doesn't care about courtesy. Use action verbs in the imperative mood with a clear objective: write, translate, analyze, etc.
The most contradictory advice: Don't hesitate to congratulate her; she'll know her answer satisfies you, and this will influence her future proposals. Likewise, don't hesitate to ask her to improve her answer, specifying what doesn't suit you. She won't hold it against you.
