The current state of artificial intelligence generative language models is more creative than humans on divergent thinking tasks - Scientific Reports
The emergence of publicly accessible artificial intelligence (AI) large language models such as ChatGPT has given rise to global conversations on the implications of AI capabilities. Emergent research on AI has challenged the assumption that creative potential is a uniquely human trait thus, there seems to be a disconnect between human perception versus what AI is objectively capable of creating. Here, we aimed to assess the creative potential of humans in comparison to AI. In the present study…

Le vivant, une solution pour le climat, les réserves en eau, la qualité des sols…
Si tous les ans, on augmente de 4 pour 1000 la teneur de matière organique que l'on enfouit dans le sol et qu'on évite de labourer, on aura effacé la production de gaz Š effet de serre de cette année-lŠ.

We use data to act as a proxy for some results of the system. Often people forget that the desired end result is not for the number to be improved but for the situation to be improved. We hope, if the measure improves the situation will have improved. But there are many reasons this may not be the case (1 number improving at the expense of other parts of the system, the failure of the number to accurately serve as a proxy, distorting numbers, etc.)...
