About Embracing change and resetting expectations Microsoft Unlocked
This Microsoft Unlocked article by Terence Tao, Professor of Mathematics at University of California, Los Angeles, published June 12, 2023, discusses recalibrating expectations for information technology with generative AI tools such as GPT-4.
It describes using GPT-4 with vaguely phrased prompts and raw text from papers, drafts and web pages, and conversational uses such as sounding board, translator or teacher. It also notes that current models can mimic expert responses but often produce incorrect content that requires line-by-line checking.

Embracing change and resetting expectations Microsoft Unlocked FAQ
Who wrote the article?
Terence Tao, Professor of Mathematics at University of California, Los Angeles.
What use of GPT-4 does the author describe for reading papers?
Feeding the first few PDF pages of a math preprint to generate questions an expert might ask, to prepare presentations or begin reading a complex paper.
What problem does the author note with LLM-generated mathematics?
It can persuasively mimic correct expert responses but often contains nonsense on close inspection, so only line-by-line reading can determine if there is substance.
