A Shocking Number of Top AI Researchers Don't Use AI

A notable paradox has emerged within the AI research community, where a significant number of frontier AI researchers reportedly do not utilize the very AI tools they develop, despite widespread adoption among broader writing and creative communities. This disconnect raises questions about the motivations and perceptions of AI researchers, with some suggesting that factors such as skepticism about AI's efficacy, guarding proprietary skills, or cultural resistance may contribute to their reluctance to adopt these technologies personally. This phenomenon highlights a broader pattern of experts in various fields often not applying the latest innovations they create, exemplified by idioms like the shoemakers children go barefoot,

TransEvalnia: A Prompting-Based System for Fine-Grained, Human-Aligned Translation Evaluation Using LLMs

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have significantly enhanced machine translation capabilities, often surpassing human performance in complex tasks like document-level and literary translation. However, evaluating these high-quality translations remains challenging, as traditional metrics such as BLEU are insufficient for capturing nuanced aspects of translation quality and providing transparent, human-aligned assessments. To address this, the development of systems like TransEvalnia leverages prompting-based techniques with LLMs such as GPT and PaLM2 to deliver fine-grained, explainable evaluations across key dimensions like accuracy, terminology, and audience suitability. These models can perform
