India confronts Google over Gemini AI tool's 'fascist Modi' responses

- probably_satan 3y agoNope, even the artificially unintelligent know that Modi is a genocidal fascist and the belief that India is democratic is cartoonish.
- graemep 3y agoDemocracies can be fascist - it depends who gets elected. Even Hitler was elected initially.

- apwell23 3y agoAny ideas how they built "wokeness" into gemini AI. I've seen ppl suggest that its simply appending "and make this more diverse" to the user prompt? Is that all they are doing to generate "nazi soldiers are asian" pictures ?
- anon291 3y agoMy guess is several rounds of RLHF or fine-tuning with some kind of curated 'woke' dataset. Alternatively, they trained a critic model that penalizes showing white people or other 'bad' representations and then fine tuned using that.
- graemep 3y agoHow is this woke? It is not an unreasonable response to classify Hindu nationalism as fascist, particularly given fascism is hard to define.
- anon291 3y agoIf it were just Modi, perhaps, but the model is now well-known for generating all kinds of politically controversial / flat out false things.
- tekla 3y ago> particularly given fascism is hard to define Than don't throw around "fascist" as an insult, which seems to be incredibly common.
- graemep 3y agoI agree. It is quite worry that the word fascist is used so loosely because we forget what it really means. Even worse, the same is happening to the better defined term Nazi.
- atoav 3y agoAs an aside, to judge whether something is fascist or not going through the 14 points made by Umberto Eco helps a lot: https://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html https://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list... Umberto Eco grew up during italian fascism so he kinda knew.
- dotnet00 3y agoThat was what I thought too, but it has to be more involved than that since otherwise fixing the model would just involve removing the prompt modification stuff, which shouldn't take the months I've been hearing it'll take to fix.
- cm2187 3y agoIt's going to be hard to argue that section 230 applies to the output of LLM (and therefore Google is not liable) while at the same time arguing that the LLM are transformative and therefore what comes out isn't protected by copyright laws. Would libel laws apply to LLM, since it is a private chat and not a public declaration?
- artninja1988 3y agoDoes india have an equivalent law to section 230?
