#12I don’t understand, there’s no news here. It’s a comment from a third party speculating over what causes the crash.
It seems pretty reproducible. I can’t use copilot but if anyone can reproduce it here that’d be cool. Anyhow, assuming this is reproducible and they do have filters to stop certain words giving predictions it leads that they’re trying to avoid the racist Twitter AI incident happening to them. I find that pretty funny :)

#13Can we get a source for that? Because at the moment, it's just a comment made by a person on the internet with nothing backing it up...

#14I hope to god that one day we will all see this nonsense for what it is: absurdly hilarious.

#15Content filters on ML feel so silly. I assume the goal is to avoid bad press? Because the... "attack" would be someone generating offensive material, which they could just write themselves, not to mention I have serious doubts that any filter is going to be a serious barrier. For images/ video I can see merit, ex: using that nudity inference project on images of children, but text seems particularly pointless.
Imagine that you had a co-worker who seemed totally normal 90% of the time... But about once a week, someone would bring up a topic that made them go full nazi or attempt to seduce their coworker. That's where we are with LLM-based generative text. It's not (just) about PR, it's about putting guardrails around the many many many circumstances the tech can do harm or just seem ignorant.

#16> Copilot crash because the word “gender”
A metaphor for our times.

It’s interesting how unsubstantiated allegations are getting so much attention, especially on a site with such high quality discussion.

#20So large language model are great on but have undesirable result occasionally. Hand coded scripts are added to remove the undesirable outcomes but still produce other problems - crashed but less often.
More and more things are going to be filtered through large language model apps and the possibilities for cascading failures will be even more interesting than what exists presently.
