ChatGPT-4 Goes to Harvard (Vol. 4)
Should your CEO watch a generative AI coding video? Is traditional computing infrastructure running out of gas?
{Three, Curated, Perspectives} on generative AI and vector databases.
ChatGPT-4 Got a 3.57 GPA at Harvard. What Does This Mean?
“AI puts us on a path to a complete commodification of the liberal arts education. Right now, ChatGPT enables students to pass college classes — eventually, it’ll help them excel — without learning, developing critical thinking skills, or working hard. The tool risks intellectually impoverishing the next generation of Americans.”
3.57 — an A-. That’s the grade ChatGPT-4 got from Harvard on AI-generated essays and papers submitted by
, a rising sophomore. She concludes that AI may be the death knell of liberal arts education.What do you think? Is AI the death knell of liberal arts, or does it make education, critical thinking, and creativity more important than ever?

Should Your CEO Watch This Video on Vector Embeddings?
“Yes! This video gets into nitty-gritty details about app development, but that’s part of its power. By clearly showing the real-world steps to build a generative AI app, powered by a vector database, Kubow hammers home something every executive needs to understand in their bones.”
CIO Magazine suggests every CEO (or CIO, CMO, CDO…) watch Ania Kubow explain the power and potential of vector embeddings and generative AI. Ania is a software developer and instructor, and her video is informative and engaging, even if you don’t have hands-on coding experience.

Is Traditional Computing Infrastructure Running Out of Gas to Support Generative AI?
“Traditional computing infrastructure cannot support the exponentially growing demands of workloads from large language models (LLMs) or generative AI. As the number of parameters in LLMs increases, so does the need for a cost-effective and scalable AI-optimized infrastructure.”
