We ought to require OpenAI to run something like this: a “Hey ChatGPT, this you?” endpoint that replies Yes/No/similarity score, and a creation timestamp, when you hit it with some text.
As regulations go, this one’s not too burdensome: expensive, but pretty cheap compared to training and running a large language model in the first place.
- jonnycomputer 4y agoThis is a pretty good idea, at least for commercial models.
- 1attice 4y agoThis works right up until the model is open sourced or otherwise replicable. Put another way, it only works in today's environment. When ML hardware is as widely distributed as classical compute, and all the models are on HuggingFace, you will be back to 0
- zopa 4y agoIf it buys some time, that’s a good day’s work and I’ll be very satisfied. All you can really ask is that a regulation makes things better in the near term. The future will know a lot more about the nature and implications of persuasively-humanlike ML than I do: it can take care of itself. Maybe by then hybrid writing will be the norm and not considered plagiarism, and we’ll all have trustworthy virtual assistants shielding us from scams. But in the meantime, there are some reasonable causes for concern, and this would help.
- tkiolp4 4y agoIf OpenAI implements such an endpoint, then a big chunk of potential customers would just not use ChatGPT… I mean, if I’m a student planning to use ChatGPT to enhance my uni essays, but it turns out OpenAI actually can say to my uni if my texts were AI generated, well, I’m not gonna use ChatGPT at all.
