Poisoned AI went rogue during training and couldn't be taught to behave again in 'legitimately scary' study - eviltoast

Poisoned AI went rogue during training and couldn’t be taught to behave again in ‘legitimately scary’ study::AI researchers found that widely used safety training techniques failed to remove malicious behavior from large language models — and one technique even backfired, teaching the AI to recognize its triggers and better hide its bad behavior from the researchers.

      So you’re saying that “Inflammatory data” isn’t a reference to reddit? :D

        Not inherently, I’m sure that’s part of it but it’s really everywhere. Even here on Lemmy I’ve run into nasty folk

          True but it’s reddit that’s served as a base for most models…

              Obviously but reddit is in the goldilocks zone where you get coherent intelligent stuff and humor and facts.

              But it’s still toxic for an Ai.

                  Correcto but maybe it DOES apply to most asked questions, if you know where I’m going with that

        I’d say using Twitter and Facebook would be worse than reddit. Or, and I shudder to think about it, truth social…

        No, LLM is the AI, OP is saying if you train it with hate it’s gonna spit out hate

          And I’m saying that reddit data is sublime for Ai. And specifically that it’s invested with toxicity
