I'm curious as to why people would want to train LLMs on personal identifying information. What's the benefit of an LLM that has a large collection of names, addresses, dates of birth etc.?
- tpxl 2y agoFree-form text like Reddit posts contains a whole load of PII. Since there is absolutely no regard for what goes into a LLM, naturally, they also contain this PII.
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoThat's not something that I've encountered on Reddit - I've mostly seen people deliberately not using their real names. If there is indeed a lot of personal identifying information from Europeans on Reddit, then they'd better get ready for a GDPR investigation.
