By all indications, it's definitely a solid engineering project. On what basis should we deride it as "amateurish"?
Because it originates in the public sector? As opposed to the private sector (where, as we know, everything is done to the highest possible engineering standards)?
- epups 4y agoI know the word sounds demeaning, and I didn't mean to criticise in on technical grounds. I find it an extremely impressive project. I meant that it does not have the refinement you would expect for such a critical tool. A substantial portion of LAION is composed of duplicates. If you have ever browsed it, you will find that many annotations are quite basic and in some cases incorrect. In ChatGPT's case we know there was a small army of people going through their dataset to filter and refine issues that are presumably similar to those.
