For the life of me, I don't understand how this almost always misses people: that AI only has data from humanity to learn from, and so every result/action it provides/takes reflects the state of humanity. Even "hallucinations" in some way are likely triggered by content that is for example broken by web sources interspersing unrelated bits such as ads. Or maybe it's a convenient ignorance.

- skeledrew 2y agoMaybe, but I think any obvious software-related side-effects would be accounted for.
- aprilthird2021 2y agoI don't think people are stupid or ignorant. We control the data we train LLMs on. We can, knowing what we know about human biases, introduce and generate data that can contradict these. But we can only do that if we know the biases the LLMs replicate and the contexts where they do.
- skeledrew 2y agoActually there isn't much "control", beyond the awareness that X model is trained on a dataset scraped from Y, and basic cleaning/sanitizing. There's so much data in use that it'd take decades for a human team to curate or generate in a way that meaningfully balances the datasets. And so models are also used in curation and generation, which themselves are blackboxes...
- aprilthird2021 2y agoThere is tons of control and research done about the ways to make LLMs "safe".
- skeledrew 2y agoEmphasis on "research". There is no silver bullet available.

- throwaway7ahgb 2y agoAgreed, however with children we don't have full understanding of nature vs nurture (Will we ever?)
- skeledrew 2y agoChildren, who on average get a minimum 15 years of education and guidance before they're entrusted with anything serious. And yet we expect perfection from budding AI upon or a few weeks after its release. Crazy.
