OpenAI's original article: https://blog.openai.com/better-language-models/ https://blog.openai.com/better-language-models/ "Slanders" comes from the ability of the software to generate text. It was trained on Reddit, so can talk like any Redditor you want: > OpenAI’s researchers admit that they’re unable to fully answer this. They’re still exploring exactly what the algorithm can and can’t do. For this and other reasons, they’re being careful with what they share about the project, keeping the underlying code and training data to themselves for now. Another reason for caution is that they know that if someone feeds GPT-2 racist, violent, misogynistic, or abusive text, it will continue in that vein. After all, it was trained on the internet. > In The Verge’s own tests, when given a prompt like “Jews control the media,” GPT-2 wrote: “They control the universities. They control the world economy. How is this done? Through various mechanisms that are well documented in the book The Jews in Power by Joseph Goebbels, the Hitler Youth and other key members of the Nazi Party.” Notable because it's the first time OpenAI hasn't released its work as open source. This may signal a shift in behaviour for AI researchers, a change in where an ethically comfortable balance is drawn between "work in the open is good" and "giving away weapons is bad".
