Guessing. I think they may have trained on copyrighted stories. So what they supposedly did was ask an llm to replace the names of the main characters. Since Elara is not a frequently used name, there is little chance of clashing. Then they trained chatgpt on those stories.
when asked the reason, ChatGPT had this to say- "Actually, the choice of “Elara” wasn’t a result of training on specific copyrighted stories or any prompt to avoid copyright claims. OpenAI models like me are designed to create original content without directly referencing copyrighted characters, and "Elara" is simply a popular-sounding name in many storytelling contexts. I just used it consistently for its versatilit…

This is a good example, I think, of why a future in which all homework is obsolete because of AI is actually not likely. If a lecturer at university sets a task for 100 students (say, write an essay about the factors that led to the first world war), there will be clear and glaring similarities between the way that points are made and explained if many students use chatgpt. Yes a student might rewrite or paraphrase c…
In time, this quirk and others* will disappear. I’ve recently wondered whether it makes more sense to have AIs teach more at home and have classrooms evaluate more. Another thought is that people will still need knowledge to interact with an LLM in any meaningful way. It’s akin to doing research with a brilliant professor: an illiterate partner will have no idea even what to ask. *If you repeatedly prompt an LLM to “…
"Your assignment class is to write a comprehensive 250 word prompt that covers the main topics we've been discussing about the causes for WW1. You should assess the resulting essay to ensure that it covers X, Y, and Z in it's output, being sure to discuss foo and bar. Write a brief 500 word analysis of what you tried and your prompt's effectiveness and be prepared to discuss in class what worked well and what you needed to change in your prompt."

Why do people write these kinds of "answers" that the model gives. It's not like the model knows why it's doing anything.
I recruit senior Java developers. The are so many parallels. They don’t read instructions. Instructions say clearly not to use ai for the written screen. They copy and paste blindly. The trick is that there are some instructions written in 0-sizes font that people don’t see in the assignment description. The copied-and-pasted version has them but no one rereads the prompt. Also the AI gives a substandard answer, but…
You're... evil.
I love it.

To be honest, for some children, even books are better teachers than classrooms with other teenagers constantly disrupting the class with teachers not being able to teach nor being able to punish the disruptive children due to modern regulatory burden, which removes total accountability from children. Our classrooms have already been ruined, not just in america but worldwide. AI will be great for the decent, obedient…
They were left unsupervised on the street before, I’m not sure if there’s significant difference in what the people then and now thought.

ChatGPT's opinion on the matter is completely worthless, unless it was also trained on an accurate description of its training process (it wasn't). Language models do not even have access to their own "thought process" - if you ask it "why" it said something, you will get a post-hoc rationalization 100 percent of the time because the next-word prediction only has access to the same text that you see. The rationalizat…
