Edit:
OpenAI have now admitted they were training on prompts at the time they made their breakthrough:

- logancbrown 20d agoSteal someone elses work, whose work was also AI generated . . .
- simianwords 20d agowhat's there to admit? they always said they do it and there's a way to opt out. you are making it sound more dramatic than it is.
- 20k 20d agoThis is textbook plagiarism, scooping their result knowing that the research was part of the training data
- boshalfoshal 20d agolol, the "other work" was also probably 95-99% AI generated. By a similar breed of OpenAI (and some Anthropic) models, as well. I dont know why this monumental achievement is being drowned out by some arbitrary drama. No matter which way you slice it, AI solved this problem. Doesn't matter if it was some internal OpenAI model, or whether it was Astra + Fable.
- demibabs 20d agoYeah but the mathematicians are claiming that the key insight that made the problem tractable for AI in the first place, came from them.
- HDThoreaun 20d agoAll the ai labs are open about training on prompts. The question is if buckmaster had disabled that with the toggle openAI provides.
- 20k 20d agoThat does not make it ethical
- HDThoreaun 20d agoIsnt the entire history of academic progress iterating on work that other academics shared with you? Obviously this situation is spicy but openAI cited their work no?
- 20k 20d agoOpenAI trained on their private unpublished research notes effectively, while also trying to get one of the paper authors fired
- daveguy 20d agoThe question is more whether OpenAI can be trusted to honor that toggle switch. Given that they hold all chats for 30 days "for safety and security".
- orangecat 20d agoWhat is that supposed to prove? OpenAI is almost always going to be training new models.
