The issue with GPT-Siri is the amount of people (and journalists) who will jump on it on the nanosecond it's released to make it say something newsworthy (racist, factually incorrect etc.)
Teaching an LLM is easy, making it safe for public consumption is _really_ hard.
- 0xfae 3y agoAgreed. I'm hopeful that this not only with LLM's improve, but it will lose it's newsworthiness. Kinda like how "Tesla catches fire" used to be a constant headline, while "Regular car catches fire" wasn't. Yeah, if you say the right things to an LLM, it might say something weird. Just like your child might swear if you swear around them, or they might make up a fact and claim it's true. It's cute/funny/interesting, but really not special or newsworthy. But because AI is the new big thing, everyone is scrambling for a headline. I think people will get bored and move on.
- dns_snek 3y ago> making it safe for public consumption is _really_ hard "Safe" in what sense? Is an LLM output which we recognize as racist or factually incorrect going to be directly responsible for the loss of life, serious injury or significant property damage? If LLMs can be considered unsafe for public consumption, then so are Twitter, Facebook, heck, even Wikipedia and Hacker News!
