Why would I trust a random human? If anything, I can be certain that a well trained machine will not call me slurs for being brown, or x sexual orientation, or break into my house.

- davedx 2y agoObviously Tay was not well trained? I think you can see the commentor's basic point, right?
- scubbo 2y agoRight, yes, I can absolutely see their point. My point in return, to be explicit, was that "well-trained model" is a deceptively simple-sounding phrase which makes it sound like such a thing is commonplace, extant, or easy to identify. It's almost a No True Scotsman fallacy - yes, a "well-trained model" (by your own definitions of well-trained, though perhaps not the LLM creators') will not abuse you, by definition. Neither will a well-trained human.
- Yizahi 2y agoYou do trust random humans daily. Or half of the world population would be killed in one day if it wasn't so. You trust that two white lines on the road is enough not to hit your car. You trust that you are not getting mugged by every passerby. The list is endless.
- lannisterstark 2y agoGreat, then you should then be able to freely hand your financial and banking, health data to a person next to you on a subway, right? or maybe, context is important and you should read that comment in the context I was speaking in :) --- Speaking of, you also trust random machines daily. So that point is really silly.
- jpadkins 2y agoYou can trust well trained machines and well trained humans. Makes sense. Now we just need to figure out how to identify 'well trained' easily.
- TeMPOraL 2y ago> will not call me slurs for being brown, or x sexual orientation, or break into my house. That's the inverse of the "murder, arson, jaywalking" trope here. Trusting someone to not be inconsiderate, vs. trusting someone to not rob you, is like, two qualitatively different kinds of trust, and don't belong in the same set.
- lannisterstark 2y agoJust examples. Feel free to replace them with anything. You people are too pedantic.
