Explanation from their Discord (more info/links below) “Earlier tonight, we started having an outage using OpenAI’s GPT-3 Davinci model, which caused the show to exhibit errant behaviors (you may have seen empty rooms cycling through). OpenAI has a less sophisticated model, Curie, that was the predecessor to Davinci. When davinci started failing, we switched over to Curie to try to keep the show running without any d…

A seemingly innocuous engineering change led to some drastic consequences.

Imagine the other more critical production applications who have made the same reasonable engineering decision.

Seems like a great chance to build a checker for political correctness and approved content. If it works well, it would sell like sliced bread, far better than some Twitch-channel, because demand for this is rising. And maybe call it OrwellGPT or Chat84 or something like that, just to get the message right...

What is this going to accomplish? Is the robot going to learn from its mistakes? Or is this supposed to be against the programmers for "failing to put in safeguards" or something like that? It's kind of silly - it's not that the robot was bad but that if you keep it on 24/7 it will eventually say something bad. An infinite monkey typewriter will contain transphobic text.

Eh, it’s the same for IRL streams. Channels get suspended for what others do. There’s a food truck livestreaming, any kind of nudity or visible underwear results in the stream going offline, VOD deletion and going online again (or a "censored" overlay in case they see it coming), 2 girls flashing still got a warning, one drunk dude with his pants falling down resulted in a 24h ban. What are they supposed to learn from that mistake?

I don't think you can excuse what a chat bot says so easily. It's not an "infinite monkey typewriter". You could look at human users as an infinite monkey typewriter, and it's easy to see how some get banned and some don't. From a similar perspective, bot creators will have to learn how to create chat bots which adhere to private and soon public (legal) standards.

One way or another, the concept of an out of control AI is not sustainable.

The era of "my chat bot does whatever it wants and I'm not liable for it" is likely going to end in the developed world over the next decade or two. You run it, you're responsible for it.

So comedy cannot be offensive anymore? When did that happen?

No, comedy can still be offensive. Anyone suggesting comedians can't be offensive is lying. Comedians routinely punch down, and routinely sell out shows. The believe that comedian's can't be offensive is a shtick they are using to market their shows to an audience. It's all advertising and marketing, and the gullible eat it up because it feeds into their bias.

Are you suggesting that Twitch should ignore accounts that violate the ToS, so long as it was a computer that violated the terms as opposed to a person?

A while ago. Going against the party line of the week -- you are liable to get cancelled. See: Dave Chapelle being called a white supremacist nazi transphobe for his set.

Chapelle is rolling in Netflix money and won a Grammy last night. By what metric is he "cancelled" other than "some people called him bad names"?
