With that logic Github, StackOverflow, rest of internet is also "only" training data.
X just produces extra valuable training data as a byproduct. Like power plants create certain byproducts that can be sold etc. Good to see it going to Grok primarily, as other LLM's are far from being truth seeking with their built-in, documented, extreme bias.
- saltysalt 2y agoNone of the companies you mentioned are owned by a private AI company, except X. I can't think of any other example of an AI company owning it's own social network, it's a fresh precedent.
- maxlin 2y agoThat is irrelevant to the invalidity of your original statement. LLM's clearly don't have problems having their training data scraped from all those mentioned irregardless of their ownership.
- saltysalt 2y agoMy original statement was from the perspective of the users, not the LLMs. Perfectly valid to empathize with them.
- maxlin 2y agoNo it isn't ok to patronize X users with a false precedent. X and Grok work very well together, one can ask questions and get relevant, and RECENT posts by X users answering that query, something other LLM's can't really do. Content created by X users is for X users to find either through their feed, basic search, or Grok. There's no foul play here, and how Grok uses data on X is not hard to defend even from a basic "better search" angle. Your "emphatize" comment sounds like "will someone think of the african children" kind of detached waste of breath, something the Chinese call "Baizuo".
- saltysalt 2y agoIt's not patronizing, it's a statement of fact: X is the only social network owned by an AI company (xAI), that only has one product (Grok) that is trained by data from X, which is user-generated data. Now, you may not like that, but it's still real.
