some form of bias is inescapable. ideally i think we would train models on an equal amount of Western/non-Western, etc. texts to get an equal mix of all biases.

- catoc 11mo agoBias is a reflection of real world values. The problem is not with the AI model but with the world we created. Fix the world, ‘fix’ the model.
- array_key_first 11mo agoThis assumes our models perfectly model the world, which I don't think is true. I mean, we straight up know it's not true - we tell models what they can and can't say.
- catoc 11mo ago“we tell models what they can and can't say.” Thus introducing our worldly our biases
- array_key_first 11mo agoI guess it's a matter of semantics, but I reject the notion it's even possible to accurately model the world. A model is a distillation, and if it's not, then it's not a model, it's the actual thing. There will always be some lossyness, and in it, bias. In my opinion.
