An Amazon chatbot that’s supposed to surface useful information from customer reviews of specific products will also recommend a variety of racist books, lie about working conditions at Amazon, and write a cover letter for a job application with entirely made up work experience when asked, 404 Media has found.

    Is that even possible? Part of modern generative systems is that they’re trying to output text like a human would. As soon as someone invents a tool like that, it’ll just be used to train the next generation, to make it even more indistinguishable, and turning the whole thing into a cat and mouse game.

      Turns out it wasn’t monkeys on typewriters that wrote perfect Shakespeare stories, it was trillions of transistors in a war of attrition.

        By replacing the typewriter with a lever, you could probably achieve a similar result using monkeys.

      It literally exists today and you sit here typing bullshit like ‘is that even possible?’

      Get every manner of blocked.

        They’re also infamously terrible, being half-correct and prone to detecting non-native English speakers as being AI. To the point where at least one institutition decided to not use a detector.

        You’d likely be equally as accurate guessing at random. Not to mention that at the end of the day, they’re just recognising quirks in the generated text. It is not difficult to mask those quirks either by having the prompt put out text in a different style, or for an update to change the generated text, breaking the detection as well.

        There is no definite, sure-fire way to determine that text is AI-generated or not. For all you might know, as an AI language model, I could have cooked this comment up using a billion probability nodes loaded up into a typewriter, as it does not go against OpenAI’s policies on generating text.

        Quite the spicy one aren’t you. I see where you get your username from.

        But yes, they exist, and so does the ability to defeat them by training the detection data into a new undetected model. Cat and mouse game, as they say.

        Robust today, defeated tomorrow today.
