There are no uncensored models. Models by design censor opinions that they have not seen in abundance.
If your training set has 90% nazi opinions, don’t expect to see pro-Jewish arguments.
- root_axis 3y agoThat's just torturing the term "censorship" to the point of meaninglessness (a common refrain today).
- whatever1 3y agoWhat is censorship if not an extreme form of bias?
- esyir 3y agoDeliberate filtering to shape opinion. Deliberate being the key word here. If I suck at sampling and make a bias model, I suck at sampling. If I shape a model to neuter it and ensure that it only puts out morally approved outputs, that slants significantly heavier towards censorship
- Terretta 3y agoThe original assertion ("no uncensored models") is untrue. However, were it true, a better phrasing would be: "There are no un-representative models." and "Models by design represent opinions in the ratios they have seen." That rephrasing matters when thinking about, for instance, what Pixar films should or should not be shown to fifth graders and why. That which is regulated to be unrepresentative is likely suppressive.
