Soon, most of us will likely be spending a considerable proportion of our working life and free time interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs). A great deal of scholarly work is currently being devoted to the abilities of LLM. We propose to study a pressing question, which has received much less attention: how do people interact with LLMs? For instance, do we interpret the ‘utterances’ of LLMs in the same way as we understand each other?
This kick off workshop brings together project members for the first time, and aims at presenting this new project to the HF community and beyond. Everyone is welcome to attend!
