    Like you say not the thread for it, but as Pixelburp says all AI will have a bias - It's completely and utterly unavoidable.

    And given the general mix of available information globally , that bias will be of a more liberal (from a US perspective) viewpoint as that is where the majority of people are so that is what the content being ingested will reflect.

    As for bias, it can be manipulated so maybe it depends on the prompts you had entered previously.

    Seems a reasonable guess that an AI tool might also use each user's previous prompts when fashioning a result; that the AI would in turn try to figure out what results a given user might like, as well as want. It'd be a good test of the AI's flexability. God knows it's the main driver of the algorithms on social media these days. For context: my Joe Biden limerick was my first GPT usage as I signed up out of curiousity from this conversation.

    It famously doesn't take that into account. I've gotten multiple Joe Biden limericks since that first failure. I'd love to know what your point here could be.

    I'm trying to spitball why OpenAI would be rather inconsistent and random when it comes to the prompt we've been trying; there's clearly something at play that the same prompt yields limericks sometimes and not others. You say "famously" but I've said already there's a ceiling of my knowledge of GPT. Relax, I'm not hinting or snarking at anything about you.



  • Posts: 18,047 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It works sometimes and it doesn't work other times because everything the AI does is random but based on weights. Here is one where the prompt worked where I tested if it had a problem doing two in a row.

    On a side note, I've never experienced ChatGPT running so badly. Failed loading of histories and failed attempts at sharing.

    I think that it's quite telling that Musk's go-to BS excuse is to do with "bots". He used it as an excuse to try and weasel out of the stupid price that he offered for the company. It was one of the reasons he gave for Twitter Blue and he brought it up again during the recent outage. Nonetheless under his stewardship the number of bots has dramatically increased.

    I now get notifications like this:

    and I have noticed that if a big football match is happening and I search by the hashtag that I often have to scroll past a bunch of bot-generated (but with a blue check-mark of course) tweets promoting "Pepe Coin" or some other nonsense to actually see any real tweets.

    I can't help but wonder if there are a bunch of ChatGPT engineers in a room somewhere looking at data from today and wondering "What's with all these limericks...."

    When it eventually goes full Skynet, you now know the first county Chatty will target.

    Along with "Who or what the hell is a Pixelburp??"

    Pixelburp defeated Clare by a Joe Biden in the All Limerick Hurling Championship.

    Thanks to you lot I'll be AI's first victim when Musk's sociopathic, unbiased version gains sapience and goes rogue.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,870 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    In fairness, if it's Musk's AI it probably won't kill you unless you subscribe to AI-Killbot Blue, and even then it won't work right.

    This thread starting to reach peak entertainment. I want even more rhymes that include various politicians and pixelburp.

    Sounds like something someone made up after reading “I have no mouth and I must scream”.

    I see a lot of happy tweeters posting earnings for their content on Twitter last couple of hours.

    I thought twitter was going broke?



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    Twitter ARE going broke , or at least they are losing money hand over fist - Broke is a relative term given Musks billions.

    It's more that this is the first time that Twitter have ever paid any content creators for posting on the platform so people are sharing what they are making.

    Very small potatoes compared to earnings from YouTube etc. by comparison but they are getting paid at least.

    It's also as much a sales tactic as anything else. Subscribe to Twitter Blue and you can earn some of that money back. Some of the bigger accounts will earn way more than the subscription. But the vast majority of Twitter Blue users, the ones already complaining that even Twitter Blue pushing their tweets to the top hasn't led to any greater engagement/followers, will get a pittance. But the more people who subscribe to Twitter Blue thinking they can earn money back (particularly when you have some of the biggest Musk supporters showing how much they're getting) the more money goes directly to Twitter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 158 ✭✭Kevrano


    I heard that charmer Andrew Tate was boasting that he had "earned" $20,000. I suppose that's why Elmo is courting the Right, thinks that's his best bet to get that investment back!



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    I wouldn't believe Tate if he told me water was wet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,870 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    And that's the thing, in many ways it's the worst accounts, the ones who argue or say offensive things, which will get more attention, which will get more engagement (negative as well as positive), which will make more money.

    That said I wouldn't be hugely surprised if Twitter is artificially giving those bigger accounts more money as part of a drive to say how much money they got, so others get more enticed to subscribe or follow their lead to try get money themselves.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 158 ✭✭Kevrano


    If anything it convinces me that his bragging about have millions in the bank is BS. 20k is nothing in comparison



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 158 ✭✭Kevrano


    Elmo has also posted commentary on anti trans posts. To boost his RW credentials no doubt!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,840 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    Same. I did it for both in the same chat


    There once was a man named Trump,

    Whose speeches made the world jump.

    With his pixelburp tweets,

    He'd ruffle some sheets,

    But logic and truth, he'd always dump.


    There once was a man named Joe,

    Whose promises seemed to grow.

    But with each pixelburp,

    His plans would often slurp,

    Leaving folks wondering, "Where did it go?"


    Editing to add. A couple of months ago I asked it to write an insulting poem about celbridge and it refused. I just asked again and it did it. So it might be possible that they've changed the settings.

    50% drop in advertising revenue (due to Musk's actions) and heavy debt (due to Musk's debt from buying Twitter).



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    And there were people here swearing blind, while castigating everyone critical of Musk, that advertising revenue has been unaffected - indeed it could only have gone up from the publicity and eyeballs thrown onto twitter by musk's purchase. Whole segues about how chatter about ad revenue cratering was a myth. And here we are. Straight from the horse's àss mouth, what we all said was happening, had happened - yet arguably much worse than might have been predicted. 50%?? That'd kill other companies.

    Didnt he say he would be replacing ad revenue with subscriber revenue? Or is it possible twitter blue is not the rip roaring 15 million subscriber success it was required to be for that to happen.
