Web design and AI

 AI will change web design.



Web design is a creative and technical process that involves planning, creating and maintaining the appearance and functionality of websites. Web designers use various tools and skills to create attractive and user-friendly web pages that meet the needs and expectations of their clients and visitors.


However, web design is also a dynamic and evolving field that faces new challenges and opportunities with the advancement of technology. One of the most promising and disruptive technologies that will impact web design in the near future is artificial intelligence (AI).


AI is the ability of machines or software to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, decision-making and creativity. AI can be applied to various domains and industries, including web design.


But how exactly will AI change web design? Here are some possible ways:


- AI will automate web design tasks. AI can help web designers save time and effort by automating some of the repetitive and tedious tasks involved in web design, such as coding, testing, debugging, optimising and updating. AI can also generate web design elements such as layouts, colours, fonts, images and content based on the preferences and goals of the clients and users. For example, tools like Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) and The Grid use AI to create customised websites in minutes.


- AI will enhance web design quality. AI can help web designers improve the quality and performance of their websites by providing feedback, suggestions and insights based on data and analytics. AI can also help web designers test and evaluate their websites across different devices, browsers, platforms and scenarios to ensure compatibility, accessibility, usability and security. For example, tools like Adobe Sensei and Google Web Designer use AI to analyse and optimise web design elements such as images, videos, animations and interactions.


- AI will personalise web design experiences. AI can help web designers create more personalised and engaging web experiences for their users by adapting the websites to their preferences, behaviours, contexts and needs. AI can also help web designers deliver more relevant and useful content and services to their users based on their interests, goals and intents. For example, tools like Netflix and Spotify use AI to recommend content and products to their users based on their past choices and actions.


- AI will transform web design creativity. AI can help web designers unleash their creativity and explore new possibilities in web design by generating novel and original web design elements that go beyond human imagination. AI can also help web designers collaborate with other designers or machines to create more diverse and innovative web solutions. For example, tools like Runway ML and Artbreeder use AI to create synthetic media such as images, videos, sounds and texts that can be used for web design purposes.


AI will change web design in many ways, but it will not replace human web designers. Rather, it will augment their skills and capabilities and enable them to create more efficient, effective, personalised and creative web solutions for their clients and users.

The AI Dilemma and "Gollem-Class" AIs

From the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. One of the more astute critics of the tech industry, Tristan Harris, who has recently given stark evidence to Congress. It is worth watching both of these videos, as the Congress address gives a context of PR industry and it's regular abuses. "If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their

Beware the Orca, the challenge to ChatGPT and Palm2 is here

  So Google's 'we have no moat' paper was correct. If you train an LLM wisely then it's cost effective and cheap to produce a small LLM that is able to compete or even beat established, costly LLMs, as Microsoft has just found. It's another excellent video from AI Explained, who goes through some of the training procedures, which I won't get into here. Orca, is a model that learns from large foundation models (LFMs) like GPT-4 and ChatGPT by imitating their reasoning process. Orca uses rich signals such as explanations and complex instructions to improve its performance on various tasks. Orca outperforms other instruction-tuned models and achieves similar results to ChatGPT on zero-shot reasoning benchmarks and professional and academic exams. The paper suggests that learning from explanations is a promising way to enhance model skills. Smaller models are often overestimated in their abilities compared to LFMs, and need more rigorous evaluation methods. Explana

What is happening inside of the black box?

  Neel Nanda is involved in Mechanistic Interpretability research at DeepMind, formerly of AnthropicAI, what's fascinating about the research conducted by Nanda is he gets to peer into the Black Box to figure out how different types of AI models work. Anyone concerned with AI should understand how important this is. In this video Nanda discusses some of his findings, including 'induction heads', which turn out to have some vital properties.  Induction heads are a type of attention head that allows a language model to learn long-range dependencies in text. They do this by using a simple algorithm to complete token sequences like [A][B] ... [A] -> [B]. For example, if a model is given the sequence "The cat sat on the mat," it can use induction heads to predict that the word "mat" will be followed by the word "the". Induction heads were first discovered in 2022 by a team of researchers at OpenAI. They found that induction heads were present in
