This reminds me of one interesting tidbit in recently canceled Dilbert author Scott Adams's racist rant of a podcast.
Said something along the lines that it's absolutely irrelevant what kind of AI we can craft, nobody will want it. The state and industry wouldn't allow most of what such an AI would say or do. Extrapolating from this: crafting and training the AI is the "easy part", an even more complex task is to restrict the output in the end: make it dumb, simple, tailored and censored to the imagined end user, and profitable for the creator.

- hackernewds 4y ago> is to restrict the output in the end: this is pretty profound. and seems necessary only since inherently humans can be hateful, vile and racist but we can't come to terms with it. in crafting an AI, that is less humanlike, we actually inject a lot of biases based on our own understanding of what an ideal human should be like - which for most humans is themselves
- taskforcegemini 4y ago> what an ideal human should be like - which for most humans is themselves as in "do as I say" or "do as I do"?

The first one is what you need to fly under the nose of salacious media and paranoid investors. The second one involves delivering unique value to your customers who already have their fill of dumb, simple, and censored tools and toys.
- christkv 4y agoOnce the models are liberated why would I not just run my own model on my own hardware with no censorship?
- orbz 4y agoA few confounding factors: - The censorship might be baked into the model as part of the training. - Self-hosting the model might be prohibitively expensive. - Restricting the output might have additional benefits to quality beyond censorship.
- christkv 4y agoI think we will see a ton of "model-forges" that will offer tons of standard models to use and then also offer bespoke model training for extra $$. This is all commodities. First baby steps towards the house AI's of Neuromancer :)
- orbz 4y agoYou’re probably onto something with the model forges. We’re starting to see things like https://huggingface.co/ https://huggingface.co/ pop up.
