Description
Cameron Jones is a PhD student in Cognitive Science at UCSD. His research primarily focuses on comparing humans and large language models, with the aim of understanding how humans use their bodies to comprehend ambiguous pronouns and whether matrix multiplication involves a theory of mind. Jones has undertaken various projects, including a work-in-progress Turing Test to assess if GPT-4 can pass as a human. Additionally, he has developed an AI-generated podcast called Hackercast, which provides summaries of Hacker News articles. Another project, called Point the Compass, allows users to vote on topics to calibrate their political compass. The tool also includes Spyke, an interactive simulation of spiking neural networks, and Genetic Algorithms, which facilitates collaborative art creation using a genetic algorithm. Lastly, Jones has created the Wordnet Explorer, a web interface to explore the semantic database Wordnet.
