Dunno about a write up, but out of the ashes of AI Dungeon, NovelAI was born. The model isn’t as good as GPT-3, but the UI and options are better, and unlike AI Dungeon, the company never reads your stories; they can’t, because they’re encrypted, and by default they aren’t even stored in the cloud IIRC. https://novelai.net/#/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NovelAi/

How is an encrypted string supposed to be fed to a transformer network?

I suppose the parent might mean that the stories are encrypted while at rest, but not that their generation itself is encrypted, which indeed would be rather difficult.

It’s only encrypted locally right before being sent to the cloud to be saved.

While that does mean it’s unencrypted locally, if it was still being transmitted unencrypted I think someone would’ve noticed by now.

It also makes sense https://artificialintelligence-news.com/2020/10/28/medical-c...

GPT-3 is just a tool. If a product that uses it messes up you can hardly blame it on the tool but rather on that product or the company developing it (here Nabla).

Not exactly, it's a service with unpredictable output. This isn't like a knife where you know what will happen depending on how you use it.

Lots of talk in the comments about the restrictions on gpt3. The reason is that gpt3 has a Jekyll and Hyde personality and can be extremely rude, offensive and unkind. They’re trying to control that because the evil side is very bad publicity for gpt3.

I recall OpenAI openly stating that they don't trust us to do non-nefarious things with their APIs and that's why they've been restricted.

You're saying it's because their AI is an asshole?

Looks neat, but note that OpenAI is basically an App Store model - whatever you make with it cannot be shown to more than five people unless OpenAI has reviewed and explicitly approved your project. And their usage guidelines are pretty narrow - "open-ended chatbots" are explicitly disallowed, for example. > https://beta.openai.com/docs/going-live > https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-guidelines/use-case-guide...

>Non-platonic (as in, flirtatious, romantic, sexual) chatbots are not allowed. tfw no GPT-3 waifu

When you know that some people managed to fall in love with ELIZA, I'm quite worried for our future!

Can be an asshole sometimes. Quite a lot actually.

If you ask it to respond in a conversation about …. well pretty much any nasty topic you can think of, it’ll join in whole heartedly.

Hard to think of how prevent that. I bet they’ve thought alot about the problem. How do you prevent AI being an A grade jerk.

This is cool but I'm hesitant to invest any real amount of time building something on this. How do I know that if I build something massively successful they wont shut off my access and build a competitor?

Or change their TOS to effectively ban your product, as they did with AI Dungeon.

Wait, what happened to AI Dungeon? It seems to still be working. Are they using some other model instead of GPT now?

if you build something massively successful (with recurring revenue), you should be able to switch to one of the similar open-source models and even host it yourself. GPT-Neo and GPT-J may not be as large as GPT-3, but I think GPT-Jurassic rivals it (I'm not sure if the jurassic model is released to the public, maybe someone else with more knowledge can comment)

> similar open-source models and even host it yourself.

Do you have any idea what kind of hardware resources (cores, ram and disk) are necessary for that?
