Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

    Microsoft Tay, after one day exposed to internet nazis sus-torment

    I went back when the ML boom and sat in on a class - the same prof had cut all of that out of the curriculum. he said it was cause the students complained about it and the new department had told him to focus on teaching them how to write/use the tech and they’d add an ethics class later.

    instead, we just have an entire generation who have been taught to fail the Turing test against a chatbot that can’t remember what it said a paragraph ago

    And like the LLMs themselves, they’ll confidently be wrong and assume knowledge and mastery that they simply don’t have, as seen in this thread. berdly-smug

      even less coherent. a neural net trained on a bad corpus won’t even produce words. it’s like mashing your face on the keyboard in a way that produces things that sound like words, inserted into and around actual, incomprehensible text. honestly, reading what gpt3 produced, I think that what was happening to a degree and they were doing postprocessing to extract usable text.

      And like the LLMs themselves, they’ll confidently be wrong and assume knowledge and mastery that they simply don’t have, as seen in this thread.

      did they get banned? I expected more angry, nonsense replies. “did chatgpt write this?” is such a fun and depressing game.
