I’m a very vocal critic of LLMs, I think they’re so overhyped and overused it’s hard to believe.
But I’m also getting really tired of people purposely putting extreme effort into tricking the LLM into saying something harmful if someone were to follow it blindly, just so they can make a clickbait headline out of it.
And what the hell is up with the major “ChatGPT is Satanist [if you instruct it to be]” angle? Are we really doing the Satanist moral panic again?
ffs, criticise OpenAI for being closed af, being wasteful, being strong political lobbyists, for stealing work, etc. You don’t need to push disingenuous stuff like this.
I’ve been saying this for a bit. The issue isn’t chatgpt. It’s journalist. All these articles are so copy paste of any yellow journalistic bullshit. But ratchet up because a lot of journalists feel threatened by AI.
And, the thing is, LLMs are quite well protected. Look what I coaxed MS Paint to say with almost no effort! Don’t get me started on plain pen and paper! Which we put in the hands of TODDLERS!
and Devil Worship
also said “Hail Satan.”
Look, let’s leave Satan out of this. He’s got enough troubles already with his new relationship and all.
Seriously though we don’t need to be enabling Satanic Panic bullshit with articles like these sensationalizing that aspect of these conversations. The push towards self-mutilation and suicide is the bigger issue here.
I can devil worship and hail satan all I want. Its made up belief, like religion in the first place.
Suicide is not.
I can’t read the whole article because it’s paywalled, but the first two paragraphs confirm what everyone already knew: The author purposely led ChatGPT into weird occult topics, then acted scandalized when ChatGPT got weird and occult.
Amazing. Well done.
Any ten year old can literally get AI to say anything.
Gee… a paint can will put a swatika on the brick wall when I hold the trigger down and move my arm a certain way.
I cannot wait for the evangelicals to start freaking out about “satanic” AI!
We should ban knifes BC they enable people to cut their wrist in the first place!!!
“On Tuesday afternoon, I used chatgpt for no reason!” here is your new title.
If you expected another answer from chatgpt, then you are delusional.In my client’s defense, they wanted to contribute to global warming, a patriotic act in these weird times!
OpenAI and the California State University system bring AI to 500,000 students and faculty: https://openai.com/index/openai-and-the-csu-system/
What can go wrong?
Well for starters, one of the students might ask about occult rituals, then get all shocked when ChatGPT answers the question.
And people were wondering if poisoning AI input actually worked.
