The fun thing with AI that companies are starting to realize is that there’s no way to “program” AI, and I just love that. The only way to guide it is by retraining models (and LLMs will just always have stuff you don’t like in them), or using more AI to say “Was that response okay?” which is imperfect.
And I am just loving the fallout.
using more AI to say “Was that response okay?”
This is what GPT 2 did. One day it bugged and started outputting the lewdest responses you could ever imagine.
Yoooo, they mathematically implemented masochism! A computer program with a kink as purely defined as you can imagine!
What I think is amazing about LLMs is that they are smart enough to be tricked. You can’t talk your way around a password prompt. You either know the password or you don’t.
But LLMs have enough of something intelligence-like that a moderately clever human can talk them into doing pretty much anything.
That’s a wild advancement in artificial intelligence. Something that a human can trick, with nothing more than natural language!
Now… Whether you ought to hand control of your platform over to a mathematical average of internet dialog… That’s another question.
