> "Oh, we can't share this knowledge because it's too dangerous" Every time I hear someone say this, I always think, "Dangerous... to whom ?"
(AI safety researcher here.) GPT-3's current level of accessibility is already dangerous, and quite broadly so. To focus on just one documented example, the model can out-of-the-box (i.e., without any fine tuning) be used for persuasion and influence operations at scale on social media. In fact, the feasibility of this has been verified in text generation experiments [1]. Here are a couple of examples taken from the…
A 16 year old should be able to come up with those kinds of arguments.
What the hell is their problem? Why not sell it in an mostly uncontrolled fashion to maximize revenue, marketshare, fame, economy of scale, etc.? I am offended by the idea of people being scared of text produced by AI, text that is ultimately inferior to text produced by professional humans.
Because gpt3 is likely to make statements which imply that people of different races and sexes act differently. Some people define those kinds of statements as “harmful”
OpenAI offering is bringing model quality and lantecy that you are not going to get elsewhere. GPT-J is 6B, the biggest version of GPT-3 available with the API is 175B, those two models are nothing alike in term of quality. Even the 6B version of GPT-3 (curie) is better quality than GPT-J IIRC. So if you need better quality than GPT-J there are basically no alternatives. And even if 6B is enough for you, but you care…
Yeah, that’s great, but they won’t let me use it as co-writer for my fiction. It turns out that this is by far what these models are best at. I am, without exaggeration, ten times faster at writing with AI assistance than without. I’m also learning faster; getting instant tips on how something might be phrased is invaluable, even if I go on to rewrite it. NovelAI allows this, and provides an easy mechanism for fine-t…
any chance on how one might one get a glimpse of what you mean or get started in this bit :
