ChatGPT and Large Language Models

ChatGPT and Large Language Models

I am sure you have heard of ChatGPT by now so the hope of this episode is to give you some more context about what is it built on and how it works.   To do that I invited Daniel Whitneck back on the podcast  You can connect with Daniel here https://datadan.io/   and listen to his previous episode here: https://mapscaping.com/podcast/an-introduction-to-artificial-intelligence/   This is perhaps the quote for the episode that I have spent the most time thinking about "We always thought AI would be logical and lack creativity - but it is almost the exact opposite" This reframes the idea of being wrong to being creative which I think you could argue really depends on the context!    If you have not already played around with ChatGPT it's well worth spending the time to experiment with it ... while its still free ;)  https://chat.openai.com/auth/login   Further listening    If you have not already listened to this episode about computer vision and GeoAI you might find it interesting. Listen out for the discussion around plausible / realistic data and real measurements - I think this gives more context to the use cases for generative AI  https://mapscaping.com/podcast/computer-vision-and-geoai/   You might also enjoy this episode about fake satellite imagery  https://mapscaping.com/podcast/fake-satellite-imagery/   BTW  I have started a job board for geospatial people feel free to check it out!        

The MapScaping Podcast delves into the intricate world where geography meets data. This isn't about static paper maps, but the dynamic, digital systems that help us understand our planet. Each conversation focuses on the practical and the visionary within GIS, geospatial technology, remote sensing, and earth observation. You'll hear directly from the cartographers, data scientists, software developers, and analysts who are building the tools and interpreting the information that defines modern digital geography. The discussions explore how satellite imagery is used, how location intelligence solves complex problems, and where the technology is headed next. For professionals, students, or anyone fascinated by how we chart and comprehend our world, this podcast offers a grounded look at a field that is constantly redrawing its own boundaries. Tune in to The MapScaping Podcast for insights that are as much about the people and ideas shaping this space as they are about the technology itself. It's a consistent source for those who think spatially, providing depth and context that goes beyond the software interface. Listen to find out how the hidden structures of geospatial data influence everything from urban planning and environmental conservation to business logistics and everyday apps.
