• Title: Large Language Models Will Change The Way Children Think About Technology And Impact Every Interaction Paradigm
• Authors: Russell Beale,
• Abstract summary: We review the effects of Large Language Models on education so far, and make the case that these effects are minor compared to the upcoming changes that are occurring.<n>We present a small scenario and self-ethnographic study demonstrating the effects of these changes, and define five significant considerations that interactive systems designers will have to accommodate in the future.

• Abstract: This paper presents a hopeful perspective on the potentially dramatic impacts of Large Language Models on how we children learn and how they will expect to interact with technology. We review the effects of LLMs on education so far, and make the case that these effects are minor compared to the upcoming changes that are occurring. We present a small scenario and self-ethnographic study demonstrating the effects of these changes, and define five significant considerations that interactive systems designers will have to accommodate in the future.

• The Impact of Large Language Models in Academia: from Writing to Speaking [42.1505375956748]
  We examined and compared the words used in writing and speaking based on more than 30,000 papers and 1,000 presentations from machine learning conferences. Our results show that LLM-style words such as "significant" have been used more frequently in abstracts and oral presentations. The impact on speaking is beginning to emerge and is likely to grow in the future, calling attention to the implicit influence and ripple effect of LLMs on human society.

  We use Language Models (LMs) as educational experts to assess the impact of various instructions on learning outcomes. We introduce an instruction optimization approach in which one LM generates instructional materials using the judgments of another LM as a reward function. Human teachers' evaluations of these LM-generated worksheets show a significant alignment between the LM judgments and human teacher preferences.

  We rigorously analyze various generative language models on two dialog tutoring datasets for language learning. We find that although current approaches can model tutoring in constrained learning scenarios, they perform poorly in less constrained scenarios. Our human quality evaluation shows that both models and ground-truth annotations exhibit low performance in terms of equitable tutoring.
