In what way, may I ask?

If the content includes the Disney Vault that’d be very cool

The AI hype (talk to your toaster!) will blow over, useful AI will remain and improve, this is just a hurdle along the way.

I hope so. AI spam causing too much internet noise to the point where we can’t tell which one’s true or not would be one big hurdle.

Yes, I was curious about about if experts want to convey the concept of LLM bullshit to certain audiences such as children’s settings (which has been solved now) or religious clergy, they’ll use the term “bullshit” or not. I apologize if I have miscommunicated that intention in my initial comment, and I always look forward to how to communicate better

I’m talking about the latter. Religious people often use LLMs as well (https://apnews.com/article/germany-church-protestants-chatgpt-ai-sermon-651f21c24cfb47e3122e987a7263d348). Their knowledge is likely limited to ChatGPT so they’re likely to be vulnerable to these things. I think one of the things that worry me the most is that these people may take LLM bullshit at face value, or even worse, take them as a “divine commands”.

I get where you’re coming from. Ideally, we should be able to say whatever we want whenever we want. But based on my experience as an autistic living in a country where context is very important, the way you convey words affects your standing in a society, at least one that caters to neurotypicals that are highly dependent on context. I have no easy answers to how we can eliminate this hurdle, but your words truly made me think about language usage and how society should perceive them and I would like to thank you for that.

I am aware that Lemmy has an anti-religious bent but the fact is that religious people are part of this world, some even in places of power. Shouldn’t they also be informed about how LLMs are prone to bullshit as well? Though if they are OK with the word “bullshit” then it’s all fine by me at the end of the day

Understandable, though we should also find ways to explain complex academic concepts, like LLM bullshit, to the general public, including those with strong religious beliefs that may be sensitive to these words. The fact that some religious philosophers already use this term without issue shows that it’s possible to bridge this gap.

You make a good point about the potential for harm in all types of language, regardless of whether it’s considered ‘profanity’ or not. I also agree that intent and impact matter more than the specific words used.

At the same time, I’m curious about how this relates to words like ‘bullshit’ in different social contexts. Do you think there are still situations where using ‘bullshit’ might be seen as more or less appropriate, even if we agree that any word can potentially cause harm?

You have a point. I did remember being told that the word “shit” was a curse word that I should always avoid. But that was in the 2000s, so that sentiment may have changed now (that was in the United States and now I’ve been living in Indonesia so I don’t know the evolution of languages there anymore). I know that the word “queer” used to be a slur as well. Let’s see if the word “bullshit” becomes normalized in society as the years go on

Educating children about LLMs for the most part. There are also religious institutions that would like to be informed about LLMs as well

I love the term too but I wonder how it’ll be used in situations where profanity is discouraged

When people misinterpret The Boys and form a fandom based on their false assumptions, I’m not surprised anymore

TechCrunch: this is nightmare fuel

engadget: it’s so cute :)

This was mentioned in the Discussion part of their paper:

The activity of facial muscles involved in forming expressions such as smiles is closely linked to the development of wrinkles. One significant next step in this research is to leverage this model to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying wrinkle formation. Moreover, applying this knowledge to recreate such expressions on a chip could find applications in the cosmetics industry and the orthopedic surgery industry. Additionally, this study performed actuation on a dermis equivalent by controlling mechanical actuators positioned beneath the dermis equivalent. Substituting this mechanical actuator with cultured muscle tissue presents an intriguing prospect in the realization of a higher degree of biomimetics. Examining the correlation between facial muscle contractions and resulting facial expression can offer insights into the physiological aspects of emotion, leading to new exploration in the treatment of diseases, such as facial paralysis surgery.

This is true in the art industry as well. Many outsourced artists from third world countries are exploited with unreasonable wages and long hours

I think that would be online spaces in general where anything that goes against the grain gets shooed away by the zeitgeist of the specific space. I wish there were more places where we can all put criticism into account, generative AI included. Even r/aiwars, where it’s supposed to be a place for discussion about both the good and bad of AI, can come across as incredibly one-sided at times.

You are right. But I’m mostly observing how much of the newsfeed headlines talk about how AI is dangerous and dystopian (which can be especially done by bad actors e.g. the Neo-Nazis mentioned in the article, but the fear-mongering headlines outnumber more neutral or sometimes positive ones. Then again many news outlets benefit from such headlines anyway regardless of topic), and this one puts the cherry on top.

Is this just some media manipulation to give a bad name on AI by connecting them with Nazis despite that it’s not just them benefiting from AI?
