- marginalia_nu 3y agoI see no obvious contradiction here. Humans can't fly, but can build machines that do.
- fallingknife 3y agoI said train a model. This paper is about training LLMs. If you can't generate training data, then how can you train an LLM? And if humans could build some other type of truth machine, how would they know it was working if they themselves are not truth machines?
- ben_w 3y agoAlthough the Münchhausen trilemma demonstrates that perfection is impossible, what is certainly not impossible is to create automated tests for validity which can exceed the normal functioning of our brains. All those tests have to do is mimic system 2 thinking all the time, while we mere humans have to switch to system 1 often because 2 is slower.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoWe can generate and label data that holds the desired properties with no problems, after all humans are the authors of both authentic and fake news. This does not hinge on the ability to differentiate the data after it is generated.
- sambazi 3y agoidk but from what i remember of the fed's defcon auditions, dod/dhs have decided to go with human verification
- Grimblewald 3y agoHumans are good at detection g fake news when critically analysing what they read, however that's a cognitive expense few can spare on day to day information and so miss fake news in day to day life. Not because they can't spot it but because they don't have the time and energy to spare to critically evaluate everything they come across when they're trying to engage with things for the sake of recreation.
