What kind of hate speech could you possibly generate with ChatGPT that doesn't already exist in the wild, free to copy and spread?

Automated radicalization of Twitter, or Reddit, or HN, or Wikipedia. The sophisticated bad actor won’t generate straight-up hate speech that will just get filtered/blocked. They will be master of ten thousand bot accounts that work slowly to build up a plausibly innocuous posting history (including holding realistic conversations either between themselves or with real users), then start subtly manipulating conversati…

It's already happening and doesn't hurt anyone. Look at r/politics: it's full of hate, comments section looks like it's written by GPT-0.5beta, and yes, they try to steer discussion towards a predetermined political end.

Do you need the automated defense against it?

Who among is is more worried about their chatgpt history leaked vs their Google searches?

google searches get turned over quite often to law enforcement et cetera

anyone remember that AOL search leak about a decade ago though?

Funny to see your comment, because other commenters had given me the impression that devs were above using chatgpt, and that the code it produces is bad. While some of its responses can be bad, being able to iterate and prototype so quickly is addictive.

The code oftentimes contains errors, but specially when it's about a library which you don't know very well, it will point you in the right direction within a minute. Google is not able to do this at this speed.

The API is up. Feel free to use https://bearly.ai in in interim! Let me know if you need help :)

That would be a lot more trustworthy if it mentioned what's actually powering the app, who actually keeps your data and for how long, and if the dreaded "As an AI language model" will interrupt somebody's murder mystery book draft.

I downloaded it and tried it. Seemed cool. But then I ran out of the free credits when I asked it what was going on in a code block. So fairly easy to burn through tokens.

I don't think anyone wants an AI that generates hate speech unprompted. There are plenty who would want an AI that generates hate speech when explictly instructed to.

Oh, you forget that the AI that generates hate or other disruption always can be aimed at will, like a weapon. If you thought russian/chinese troll farms were bad, wait for this little trick...

IMO the issue with hate speech is tools like Facebook and twitter that allow it to be broadcast to hundreds of millions of people at once.

Slightly increasing the efficiency at at which the hate speech can be written is drops in the ocean compared to that.

I guess Cypto isn't working out atm?

Not sure what you mean? If you are referencing my username, cryptography is going strong! I made this account before cryptocurrency even existed I think.

Ah I apologize for the presumption, I just have seen so many Cryptobros going all in on ChatGPT and it sort of grinds my gears - I'm worried there will be all sorts of highly marketed get-rich business ideas sold to people now crypto is in a bear market.

I hear two things requested a lot - an open source ChatGPT and more controls on the training/data/usage/etc. How can these two things be held in balance? If it is open source entirely, can't I use the training data and tool in any way I want? What guardrails prevent me from using it to generate hate speech? Given the compute power needed to train/run it; where are people going to do that in any accessible way that do…

The alternative to an average person having this ability is only for a select few entities have it. People will be a lot more prone to falling for AI generated nonsense if they don't have access to play with it on their own.
