Charlie McHenry<p>Guy runs an experiment to see Just how easy is it to wrangle from GPT that which is very clearly someone else’s IP… Results are interesting, it’s not hard turns out. Some guardrails do exist for very recognizable characters, but that has not prevented LLMs from returning copyrighted IP on image prompts. Or from stealing studio-specific styles, characters and designs for memes - which has led to ‘Ghiblifying’ everything. <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/StudioGhibli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudioGhibli</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Image" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Image</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>copyright</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ImagePrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ImagePrompts</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/AIImage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIImage</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/AIImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIImages</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>legal</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://theaiunderwriter.substack.com/p/an-image-of-an-archeologist-adventurer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theaiunderwriter.substack.com/</span><span class="invisible">p/an-image-of-an-archeologist-adventurer</span></a></p>

Scott Jenson<p>The widespread belief that <a href="https://social.coop/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> will replace all of our jobs is the strongest example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in my lifetime.</p><p>This effect normally applies to a small number of rather stupid people.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Now consider the chatbot therapist: what are its privacy safeguards? Well, the companies may make some promises about what they will and won't do with the transcripts of your AI sessions, but they are lying. Of course they're lying! AI companies lie about what their technology can do (of course). They lie about what their technologies will do. They lie about money. But most of all, they lie about data.</p><p>There is no subject on which AI companies have been more consistently, flagrantly, grotesquely dishonest than training data. When it comes to getting more data, AI companies will lie, cheat and steal in ways that would seem hacky if you wrote them into fiction, like they were pulp-novel dope fiends:<br>(...)<br>But it's not just people struggling with their mental health who shouldn't be sharing sensitive data with chatbots – it's everyone. All those business applications that AI companies are pushing, the kind where you entrust an AI with your firm's most commercially sensitive data? Are you crazy? These companies will not only leak that data, they'll sell it to your competition. Hell, Microsoft already does this with Office365 analytics:<br>(...)<br>These companies lie all the time about everything, but the thing they lie most about is how they handle sensitive data. It's wild that anyone has to be reminded of this.

They are similar, however, in the sense that both mix true, false, and ambiguous statements in ways that make it difficult or impossible to distinguish which is which. ChatGPT has been designed to sound convincing, whether right or wrong. As such, current AI is more about rhetoric and persuasiveness than about truth. Current AI is therefore closer to bullshit than it is to truth. This is a problem because it means that AI will produce faulty and ignorant results, even if unintentionally.<br>(...)<br>Judging by the available evidence, current AI – which is generative AI based on large language models – entails artificial ignorance more than artificial intelligence. That needs to change for AI to become a trusted and effective tool in science, technology, policy, and management. AI needs criteria for what truth is and what gets to count as truth. It is not enough to sound right, like current AI does. You need to be right. And to be right, you need to know the truth about things, like AI does not. This is a core problem with today's AI: it is surprisingly bad at distinguishing between truth and untruth – exactly like bullshit – producing artificial ignorance as much as artificial intelligence with little ability to discriminate between the two.<br>(...)<br>Nevertheless, the perhaps most fundamental question we can ask of AI is that if it succeeds in getting better than humans, as already happens in some areas, like playing AlphaZero, would that represent the advancement of knowledge, even when humans do not understand how the AI works, which is typical? Or would it represent knowledge receding from humans? If the latter, is that desirable and can we afford it?"</p><p><a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5119382" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf</span><span class="invisible">m?abstract_id=5119382</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ignorance</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Epistemology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Epistemology</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Bullshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bullshit</span></a></p>
