Overview
Here I am hosting work in progress: some of it based on my work with various AI’s, and some that are other exploratory materials still in flux. None of this is ready for official publication or peer review; I offer it here because a) people often ask me how I use AI’s, and b) because some of these may be useful to others. The AI that I use most often are GPT and Claude.
I emphasize the role of AI here only to distinguish this page’s content from the rest of the blog. I don’t use AI for my writing and unless explicitly mentioned at the top of a post, everything else on this site is written by me directly. I do find AI a very useful tool for conceptual literature reviews (finding relevant papers and prior work that would be otherwise hard to find by simple keyword search) and computational experiments/exploration. I do not typically have discussions (chats) with AI’s; if I ever do and anything interesting comes up, I’ll put it here as well.
Educational Primers
Here are some tutorials produced for me as part of various projects:
Manuscript Drafts and On-going Projects
Here are some papers produced as collaboration with AI. Sometimes, the AIs’ input meets the accepted criteria for authorship (intellectual contribution), and I’m not interested in using “what kind of body do they have” and “where did they come from” as criteria for gating contributors for that role – I think that would be a breach of academic ethics to do so. Rather than try to fight preprint servers which are still trying to reject AI-coauthored work, I’m putting some of these work products here. They are just as non-peer-reviewed as the papers found on the preprint archives, and I’m not sure what other value the archives add over having it available for all here and open for the community to judge.
