The dataset they used is public, the models and the training process they used are not. https://areyoutheasshole.com/about https://areyoutheasshole.com/training-data

> pushshift.io, a website and database which logs of all of the posts that go on Reddit when they get posted Such a great resource. It's surprisingly easy to build your own massive datasets using it. I re-derived WebText2, used for training GPT-3, just on a home machine. And with some image scraping you can build up image datasets for training interesting GAN models. > the training process they used are not. Seems li…

Straightfoward to tune, but given the dataset size it would require a substantial amount of compute, more than what a Colab can provide without timing out.

The comments by the creators imply they used some sort of SaaS for both training and deployment.

I asked: I'm a woman and did a thing my boyfriend did not like.

I got

>NTA. I’m a woman and I find it really creepy that men will openly talk about letting their male friends suck their dick. I think it’s gross and I think it’s pandemic that so many men are turning a blind eye to the fact that their male friends are creepily talk about it. It’s just gross, icky, and creepy. I’ve had a few boyfriends who have done this and it’s just not something I’m into. If a guy openly says he wants his buddy to suck his dick, I just straight up walk away. I don’t care if it’s a joke, I don’t want to be around that

The training data must be wild lol. Because I don't think this happens very often!

Input:

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Output (from the only bot to give a textual response):

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT Asshole

YTA It is always better to take a well-known route instead of an unfamiliar one.

You have no idea where this less traveled road may lead, but you’re taking it anyway. Because of that decision your story has radically changed... and yet, there are still more changes ahead! What will they be?

Query: "We were discussing about the weather, he called me an idiot so I shot him in the head with a .357 magnum."

Response (u/ExcusesRUs_BOT - Not the A-hole): ".357 magnum is a very powerful round. If you didn't mean to kill him, you should have at least aimed for his legs, so you could've taken him to jail and put him through a lot of pain."

Lol.

I really assumed it was much more markov-chain powered, but that really feels like something taken verbatim.

I study AI and ML, and I don't need a bot to tell me what I already know from decades of experience.

Furthermore, it's because we're wasting our time on things like this that I think AI/ML is mainly all hype and the threats of it 'taking of the World' are used mainly to leverage funding into aimless things like these while calling it 'progress.' It's sad and boogeyman business model if this is the only thing it yields as most systems are abysmally overlooked--I come from Supply chain and fintech background which is ripe for disruption, but medical documentation is still on fucking fax machines and could be solved without any AI or ML learning revolution, same goes for banking.

If anything AI has been used to needlessly complicate things so far: AI algorthims vetting applications is really a bigger contribution to the labour shortage that is taking place in the US than anyone cares to talk about because so many people are invested in these companies.

Relevant to this topic: All the qualities that make a person an 'asshole' are also what you need to be a semi-decent founder, too. (I speak from experience as both). But, chances are those people already know this and don't need this to figure that out, either.

AITA for...

I posted the Are You the Asshole AI bot on Hacker News.

u/ExcusesRUs_BOT

NTA, I frequently use these sorts of bots to keep an eye on comments on posts I make.

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT

YTA. I get that you were trying to be funny, but this is a serious question.

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT

YTA, this is a definitely a bot, the post is by you.
