"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
While this general story has its shape. The line at the end here…
AI is stealing human discovery.
Is striking in just how obviously true it’s been the whole time. It’s the business model, plain and simple.
I hope this story highlights this better for some. But also, it’s frustrating that any of this is new or surprising to anyone.
It's one thing to notice OpenAI is stealing public content, but in this case it's suspected of using info that people prompted ChatGPT with privately.
Oh I didn’t know that! Thank you!
So the mathematicians were using ChatGPT in their work and that’s how they think it was scooped?
Thoigh to be fair, this doesn’t change my tune. That we aren’t all presuming every interaction will be part of future training data is bonkers to me.
That’s exactly the kind of data that turned LLMs into chat interfaces. And where else are AI companies going to get human generated text and feedback?
The extent to which the keys of the world have been handed over to a skynet system is fucking crazy!
Do people consider conversations with LLMs private? I don't think there is actual guarantee which protects the conversations. ..are people that naive?
I know that this is unrelated, but I'm glad that nitter is back.
