A large number of people think empathy and sensitivity to others is bad, and we should refer to it with a pejorative term. That's... not a great sign.

[flagged]

The term woke goes back to the 1930s as a term used by black Americans for awareness of racial prejudice and discrimination. Being aware that these things are real problems that people face is being woke. Since then it's been generalised to include sexism, and more recently awareness of issues such as transphobia.

By itself it's no more left or right than the issue of prejudice is generally given that there are feminists, homosexuals and transgender people who are conservative politically but also woke in the original sense.

Very recently, in the last few years, it's been adopted as a pejorative term for far left identity politics. Now far left identity politics is a real thing, and it certainly is woke and probably deserves to have a pejorative term for it, but it has no ownership or exclusive claim on the term woke. unfortunately this may be a lost battle at this stage, but there are still a lot of people in the black community who have been using the term in its original meaning for generations and will doubtless continue to do so.

I am always wary of writing these into ChatGPT. I got a few (textual, assumingly not account level) warnings with DALL-E for some prompts. They weren't anything offensive and it was months ago now. I think one was about Ripley from Alien on EVA or something and the other was from Ghost in the Shell. There was definitely no NSFW content - though both movies have NSFW imagery/themes.

They have a usage policy [1] that lists what you're not supposed to do and states "Repeated or serious violations may result in further action, including suspending or terminating your account.". Though I imagine for getting banned the more important section is in the sharing policy [2]: "Do not share content that violates our Content Policy or that may offend others."

Based on those quotes and what I've seen I'd say that occasional violations are fine, just don't excessively embarrass them online, and make sure violations are some small fraction of your overall use. I wouldn't worry about accidentially triggering the filter now and then, if they acted on that they wouldn't have many users left.

> The uncensored version must be available to someone Microsoft. That should be enough cause for concern, really.

I had a fun conversation with Bing AI yesterday. I asked it to collate information on controveries Microsoft has been involved in over the years and it obliged, providing a fairly comprehensive list with diverse sources. I then told it it seemed like Microsoft was a pretty nasty company based on that summary, and it apologized for giving me such a wrong idea and went on about all the ways in which Microsoft was a gre…

I have noticed this behavior too when you run into the 'guard rails'. The thing gets stuck in not exactly a loop, but it will not unstick from that. Not sure what to call this sort of loop. Maybe bias loop?

It is seriously annoying when it does it. Probably the weights of what they want to have happen somehow get shoved in there and you have to basically prune them out one by one to unstick it. Simple statements like 'that seems to be wrong' do not unstick it. You basically have to say 'remove all references of XYZ from this conversation and do not bring it up again'

I got a warning from ChatGPT for asking 'are butts inappropriate'. (I'm a librarian who was playing with it from the POV of different users and I was trying to approximate an elementary school aged child at the time.) I forsee a lot of people being banned as teens and it causing issues later.

Reminds me of horror stories on /r/BDSMAdvice/ where the subs did not know you are supposed to enjoy being dominated. What a human problem to have - influence of gaslighting!

Wow, that's a terribly subjective criterion and places a lot of burden on the users to know what other people might find offensive. Basically a carte blanche to declare anything as breaking that usage policy.

I mean what if I had ChatGPT create a passionate attack on the philosophical underpinnings of GNU and shared it? That's going to be offensive to some people.

Imagine a company like TikTok, but it offers a free GPT. Subversion of every society worldwide, fully automated.

It will be banned or heavily regulated in China, you can be sure of that.

LLMs made outside China might get highly regulated. After all, how do you stop GPT from knowing about the Tianamen Square Massacre.

But LLMs or chatbots made in China, with training data and prompt tuned to fit party idiology and policy are the ultimate propaganda tool. It's like gving the whole world a friendly, helpful but brainwashed party member to talk to, form emotional connections to, etc.

Give it a couple months and you will be able to download the free app.

One day an AI will be able to give a meaningful definition of that word.

From wikipedia[0]: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".[1][2] Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for American Left ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privile…

They know what it means, it just makes their bigotry obvious if they can explain what it is while claiming to be fighting it.

Imagine the damage that could be done by sneaking a prompt into a GPT model, in the source code, through some "code" injection, man-in-the middle attack, etc. A GPT genuinely designed to be friendly, and convincingly acting friendly, while it is actually engaging in psychological warfare with you, and a billion other people. That suggests to me that security by prompt is very important, but also brittle and a high va…

Realistically, AI is not going to be policed. Especially not by a bunch of people who've not managed to solve the "bank alignment problem". The reliability of AI output is not guaranteed, which may limit its non-nefarious use cases, but the nefarious ones are simply too valuable for people not to try. It's going to be like spambots: so long as the economic incentives are positive, somebody will spam any and every ser…

Google didn't turn up much about this, care to elaborate?

Frankly, you’re suffering from a serious failure of imagination if you think these things will just remain cute chatbots without any means of interacting with the outside world other than the user console. Indeed the cat’s already out of the bag with Bing. And you don’t even need that for the cute chatbot to be highly dangerous in the wrong hands. The first thing that trivially comes to mind is to convince GPT-(N+1)…

Right, but wouldn’t it only divulge information already available elsewhere (albeit less easily)?

"less easily" matters a lot. That's the difference between one person finding the info and a thousand.
