Twitter enforces strict restrictions against external parties using its data for AI training, yet it freely utilizes data created by others for similar purposes.
Yet another reminder that LLM is not “intelligence” for any common definition of the term. The thing just scraped responses of other LLM and parroted it as its own response, even though it was completely irrelevant for itself. All with an answer that sounds like it knows what it’s talking about, copying the simulated “personal implication” of the source.
In this case, sure, who cares? But the problem is something that is sold by its designers to be an expert of sort is in reality prone to making shit up or using bad sources, while using a very good language simulation that sounds convincing enough.
Meat goes in. Sausage comes out.
The problem is that LLM are being sold as being able to turn meat into a black forest gateau.
Soon enough AI will be answering questions with only its own previous answers, meaning any flaws are hereditary to all future answers.
That’s already happening. What’s more is that training an llm on llm generated content degrades the llm for some reason. It’s becoming a mess.
the ideological composition that:
if you are allowed to do something then I must be allowed to
coupled with
just because i can do something doesn’t mean that you can do it
… is the basis for all human chauvinism be it gender, racial, or national. And now these fictions … these quasi-legal fictions called corporations … are taking the rights of human beings as their own and laying claim to them while simultaneously declaring that humans don’t have these rights which eminent directly from being human.
What the fuck is going on ?
What if they are using OpenAI API and they dont have a model of their own?
It’s not what they say happened, and I think people at openAI would not have answered like they did if it was the case. Grok finding answers that users got from open ai and recycling them seems plausible enough.
Years ago there were something a bit similar when bing was suspected of copying google results. Actually, yeah, sort of : the bing toolbar that some people installed on their browser was sending data to Microsoft, so they could identify better results and integrate them in bing.
Obviously some off these better results were from people with the bar that were searching on google.
Someone from google actually proved it was happening by setting up a nonsensical search and result in google, googling for it a bit with the toolbar on, and checking that the same result would then appear in bing.
Elon be like: “What if I got OpenAI’s chatbot and disguised it as mine?”
Wait until similar code starts being unearthed in Teslas etc.
Musk isn’t a genius, he’s a thief of IP.
