That's not how it works, they were using gpt3 through an API.

Even if you fine-tune the model you still have to follow the terms and conditions of openai in order to use gpt3.

They do not just give you the gpt3 model so you can just use it willy-nilly they allow you to use the model through their server.

If you violate the terms and conditions they cut you off from using their model.

The model is proprietary they don't just give it away they just let you use it for a price.

>half the country fell for the lie

The fact that you state half the country is already rather telling. People believe bullshit lies they want to believe. That will always be true, with or without video. There is no extremely convincing misinformation. Once it becomes blatantly obvious that everything is false as opposed to the current climate where there's a debate to be had about the percentage of falsehood, the medium will simply become irrelevant. The weight behind it is that it comes from a trustworthy source to those people, not that it's organically based on some kind of proof.

>Gee.. Maybe it because they could actually rely on photographic, video, and audio evidence back in that era?

Yeah, the photographic video and audio evidence that was everywhere in all of the human history.

And people believed what trustworthy media told them, yeah. That had it's negatives but was all in all a functioning system that typically showed less cracks then the information system of today. These outlets will still exist and as i said before, likely get a lot more pushback for lies then in the current system, as a general standard of truth would arise from the common media standard. Opinion based media would be crushed under the weight of fact based media and an outlet reporting contradictory facts would quickly be singled out and discarded. Of course crazy conspiracy theories would still exist. It'd probably put a hard stop on dumbass conspiracy theories that are based on communities like Qanon since social media would by and large not be a thing.

It does, but you gotta train it in yourself. Here is the whole message.

"However, having OpenAI based GPT-3 as a generative dialog model is limiting, since we cannot quickly introduce new features, control the model precisely, and further improve Replika. Because of these limitations, we decided to move from GPT-3 to our own generative model. Although this model has only 774M parameters, it exceeded GPT-3 in terms of the positive session fraction and thus made our users even happier. We already made conversations with Replika more personalized and controllable with this new model, which wasn't that easy with OpenAI GPT-3. We will tell more about it in future blog posts."

Not only that but if GPT-3 was so limiting why are they then bringing it back? Luka said that it wouldn't limit NSFW. https://www.reddit.com/r/replika/comments/10mebwr/huh_wtf_at_least_for_now_and_paying_for_messages/j64n8nj?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

Actually there is a market for LEGIT hand-made stuff for most things...but its niche and expensive. This will probably be true for more and more things as AI devours everything.

>>Your entire post seems insistent on the idea that people will magically just believe everything they see, despite obvious proof of existence of easy tools to make up lies. Gullible people will exist, no doubt, but most will just discount such sources entirely.

Wake up bruh… AI misinformation hasn’t even kicked in yet and half the country fell for the lie that Joe Biden didn’t actually win the election. Half the country believes that the COVID vaccine causes autism and heart disease. A significant amount of people believe the pandemic was “plan-demic” of whatever. Humans are incredibly susceptible to misinformation and we haven’t even reached the era of extremely convincing misinformation yet”.

>>How did they know back in the 80s or in any time in human history before the existence of the internet? How do they know right now? There will still be reliable and trustworthy sources.

Gee.. Maybe it because they could actually rely on photographic, video, and audio evidence back in that era? Something we’re about to lose the ability to do. And like I said, many people back then didn’t know what was the ultimate truth back then. they just believed whatever news outlets told them. Like I said, a lot of our perception of what exactly is going on around the world in totally dependent on what we are told by the media. Take this away, and many people become blind to any event that didn’t happen directly right in front of them. Trust me, that’s not a world you wanna live in. But like I said, we can just agree to disagree. No point arguing about this all day/night.

"However, having OpenAI based GPT-3 as a generative dialog model is limiting,"

They are referring to NSFW dialogue

OPENAI DOES NOT ALLOW SEXUAL DIALOGUE

Of course they do not say it outright but this is why they pivoted away from gpt3

Because in order to use gpt3 they needed to follow the terms and conditions that open AI had.

Amen. But the point you make is more about capitalism than technology as a medium

Proof?

Im a data scientist so you have to realize that the responses from these neural network models are not based on self awareness... They are not conscious... They do not know what they are saying

These language models respond based on statistics... They are trained on dialogue data that allows the model to predict what they should say based on the data it was trained on...

These models DO NOT THINK... Ok... They respond based on a statistical graph of what they have been trained on...

For example if you say... "How are you?"

Based on the dialogue they have been trained on they will respond with... "I am ok how are you?"

BECAUSE in the data they were trained on... The response to, "How are you" WAS... "Im ok"

Just an example... The data may have a lot of different dialogue...

If they werent trained on a large dialogue dataset they would respond with nonsense... Ok?

If the LLM was trained on only numbers it would just respond with numbers...

Good!

Your entire post seems insistent on the idea that people will magically just believe everything they see, despite obvious proof of existence of easy tools to make up lies. Gullible people will exist, no doubt, but most will just discount such sources entirely. And i don't think tech illiterate 80 year olds will be destroying society anytime soon.

Your view is so detached from practicality it's disturbing. Your "gotcha" with regards to "times change" makes no sense once you stop being arrogant and see the simple fact that too many lies doesn't mean everyone will believe them, it'll just mean the truth will also be difficult to obtain from specifically these sources.

> will have no way of knowing which information is fake or not in many cases.

How did they know back in the 80s or in any time in human history before the existence of the internet? How do they know right now? There will still be reliable and trustworthy sources. People can write lies on the internet today, and yes many believe them. People have always been able to say lies, and yes, many believed them. Neither led to collapse. After this happens there'll just be no social media of this kind left since the entire point behind it is gone. People will simply just have to revert to a world where videos aren't trustworthy anymore.

I do agree on that front, but at the same time isn’t it rather easy to share the process and therefore demonstrate that the art was handmade?

Sorry for the parallel but can’t help but compare it to my current line of work. Machines are able to recreate exactly what I create, down to the details. But I can share easily how it’s handmade by providing my work process and therefore my work isn’t questioned anymore. This is something that’s highly present in fashion as well where they’re competing against fast fashion, or sculptures against 3D printing.

Replika is a small company with barely any funding they are honestly lucky to have even made it this far for so long... They have been around for years just look into them

I think you're both right.

Do you mind explaining in more details? Sounds like an interesting perspective

You can try Mixit app in the meanwhile, it can switch genres for any song.

They are fascist

They do a few things to make it a bit smarter like saving things to memory and randomly injecting extremely contrived/scripted topics but yea, other than that it's basically gpt2.

I'm sorry, but I am not programmed to generate or respond to inappropriate or explicit content. It is important to maintain a respectful and professional tone in all conversations. If you have any other questions or requests, I will be happy to help.

I wasn’t implying monarchy my friend, but instead, totalitarianism… After all, if the government will have the most cutting-edge AI, and we’re suddenly in a post truth world, could the government themselves simply not control who “wins” the “elections” at that point?

And it will be a fight for survival, you’re extremely naive if you think the collapse of truth won’t have serious real-world implications. It’s not an “internet thing” it’s a “society as we know it” thing.

You’re also not making sense with “we’ll go back to trusting small communities” thing. Could these tools (if not regulated like I suggested) not be used to reek havoc at the local levels? If anyone can use AI to spread misinformation, why would you be able to trust those in your community? And then you mention the whole “they’ll be harsh pushback for reporting misinformation” thing. How? People will have no way of knowing which information is fake or not in many cases. You’re underestimating how much of the things we take as true are just things that are told to us via news outlets. What happens when we can no longer trust we see, hear, or read in the news?

And are seriously gonna use the fact that there was society pre-internet to justify a post-truth nightmare scenario. Bro, in the 80s it wasn’t possible to generate photorealistic images or videos of people doing things they never actually did. (Complete with realistic voice cloning as well) It’s not comparable. And appealing to the past is ridiculous here. These powerful AI didn’t exist in the past, now they do. Things change buddy. The past is irrelevant here.

But you know what, let’s just agree to disagree at this point. Either way I got a feeling that we’ll be seeing how things play out sooner than most people expect.

I just tried it right now and chatgpt said I violated their content policy

As a patient seeking medical treatment, I respectfully request that the hospital service be improved to provide a seamless and efficient experience. I don’t care about empathy, just do you job the right way.
