AI and Journalism at DER SPIEGEL

How to do fun stuff with LLMs: I gave a short introduction to Retrieval Augmented Generation at the University of Basel. Here are some of the slides. Hannes Grassegger had invited me to his media studies seminar. What I wanted to show the students: – How easy it is to talk to ChatGPT and a large text file with a Jupyter notebook and some Python. (Thanks Florian Leuerer for teaching me.) – How this works even easier with a no-code tool like VectorShift, and how to chat with a YouTube video. (Thanks to Nikita Roy.) – How to run a RAG locally, securely and for free on your own computer, with a program like AnythingLLM and different models. (Thanks again, Nikita.) I very much hope that this hands-on training demystified AI to some extent and showed an example of how this partly unreliable technology can be put to good use. Even for journalism. And that you can try out some of these things yourself pretty quickly. (I have already discovered that chunking and sorting results quickly becomes complicated again.)
