The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Navigating Large Language Models

Details

Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Sora are generating significant buzz, with discussions about their potential to revolutionize various industries and even replace jobs. But what does it actually take to harness their capabilities effectively? In this talk, I'll share my hands-on experiences through two personal projects that explore this question.

Together, we'll delve into the creation of a “video” that tells a personal story, and the development of a reinforcement learning algorithm to play board games both with LLMs. I'll highlight the challenges and triumphs encountered along the way, focusing on practical insights rather than technical details. The goal is to spark conversations on how we can all leverage these powerful tools to build faster and better. Join me as we explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of working with Large Language Models.
