This quote is talking about a process that starts with a “soft prompt,” which is converted into an instruction using a program called LLM (or “Open Source Language Model”). This program improves the overall performance of a task without the need for prior knowledge or guidance. In other words, LLM makes it possible to get a task done correctly, without needing assistance or specific instructions. Now reread the text with this summary in mind. Is there anything you would add to this summary? Please let me know what you are thinking about the text in your reply.
A soft prompt is a beginning stage to an instruction for a specific task or process. It is then converted into an instruction and fed to a program such as LLM or Open Source Language Model that can recognize the instructions and act accordingly. This advanced technology allows the machine to carry out tasks without being explicitly instructed every step of the way, thus making the overall process more efficient and accurate. Resources from Hugging Face, an open-source platform, empowers users to effectively work with the latest training sets and small-scale LLM demonstrations.
For your 11th grade literature students, a soft prompt from you would look like this: “Think about a recent event or experience in your life, and brainstorm three ways that you would describe it in your writing.” This prompt gives your students a starting point to brainstorm possible ways that they can use to approach their writing. From this prompt, they can explore the best words to use in their writing, discover aspects of their writing they want to develop further, or even explore ideas and thoughts that they may not have previously considered.
The next prompt could be, “Select a piece of text you recently wrote and apply an AI tool from Hugging Face to generate a list of words or sentences that are related to the text you wrote.” By having students incorporate AI tools from Hugging Face, it opens the opportunity for them to consider alternative words to use in their writing, and may give them a different perspective on their writing. This sort of prompt gives students more control and freedom over how they want to approach their writing.
On the following prompt, you may ask your students to “Choose 3 of the AI-generated words or phrases and use them as a source of inspiration when you rewrite the original piece. Consider how the words and sentences opened up ideas for you when you incorporated them into the text.” This prompt encourages students to think critically about how to use the AI generated words, and allows them to create a fresh perspective on their writing.
Finally, you could ask your students to “Reflect on the process of using AI tools in writing. What was helpful? What could be improved? What is your outlook on using AI tools in writing moving forward?” This prompts your students to evaluate and reflect on their own use of AI tools in writing, giving them the chance to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of incorporating AI in their work, and cultivate a more comprehensive outlook on AI and its use in writing.
