The issues I see are that private chats are information blackholes whereas public stuff like SO can show up in a search and help more than just the original asker (can also be easily referenced / shared). Also the fact that these chatbots are wrong / make stuff up a lot.
- andyferris 2y agoI had never thought about that - I guess the privacy cuts both ways.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoThat's not really a problem with LLMs, which are trained on material that is, or was, otherwise accessible on the Internet, and they themselves remain accessible. No, the problem is created and perpetuated by people defaulting to building communities around Discord servers or closed WhatsApp groups. Those are true information black holes. And yes, privacy and commons are in opposition. There is a balance to be had. IMHO, in the past few years, we've overcorrected way too much in the privacy direction.
- K0balt 2y agoUnfortunately though it isn’t actually privacy in most cases. It’s just a walled garden where the visibility is limited to users and some big tech goons who eventually will sell it all.
- block_dagger 2y agoLLMs are trained on public data though.
- maxbaines 2y agoLess and less now actually. Synthetic data is now being used on most new models as the public data runs out.
- sevenseacat 2y agoI'm sorry, are you suggesting that AIs are being trained on AI-generated data? What can possibly go wrong?!?
- ncruces 2y agoOnly if for as long as public data continues to exist.
- fowlie 2y agoAre you saying that black holes don't share any information? xD
