> When Peter put his contact information online, it had an intended context of use. Unfortunately, applications built on top of GPT-2 are unaware of this context, and might thus unintentionally share Peter’s data in ways he did not intend.
That's expected when you publish anything online, you lose control over the data.

- tiborsaas 6y agoWho is defaming who? One person using GPT to generate text that puts X into a bad light? Then the person using GPT is responsible they could just use string replace %victimname%. Or GPT accidentally defaming someone? That assumes bad intent which is a bit problematic with a language model. With made up contexts like this in the article it's easy to cry wolf.
- wpietri 6y agoIn the same sense that when you leave the house you lose control over what happens to you. But if something bad happens to a person., the right solution is not to say, "Well, you left the house, so tough luck."
- tiborsaas 6y agoYou'd be right, if my copy left my house. It's the physical vs. digital theft argument. If I leave the house I take on some risk, but most of the time I'm in control.
- barrkel 6y agoAh yes. And if your name is included in an accusation of murder, well, I guess you shouldn't have published your name. This is infantile reverse justification from an end. GPT style corpuses are clearly problematic without a lot more smarts on figuring out what's appropriate and what's not.
- tiborsaas 6y agoAnyone can publish any nonsense online since the internet exists, how is this any different? Responsibility is on those who publish content online, not the tools.
- barrkel 6y agoIf GPT-style tools are powering chat bots or augmenting content generation then it matters, because they may not be supervised. The tools don't have common sense, but they are powerful enough to be automated.

- ClumsyPilot 6y agoSo copying an internet-published trailer of a Marvel movie is a crime, but my privacy is up for grabs.
- tiborsaas 6y agoDepends entirely on what you share publicly. GPT's training data involves only publicly crawlable dataset. We should be more concerned about mitigating GPT-like systems because one thing is for sure, we can't stop these models. The genie is out of the bottle and I'm sure multiple actors are working on similar systems.
