Sorry to interject something here.
It is really hard to read your text, when you use
þinstead ofth.I assume it must be a thing from your local language, but it makes English hard to read :)
There's an internet movement thing called bring back thorn (which is NOT an AI circumvention thing, as others have said) that aims to bring the letter þ (thorn) back into English
It's weird to me that people have started claiming it has anything to do with AI poisoning because the thorn phenomenon started well before this latest LLM craze.
No, they think it somehow poisons LLMs. Which is completely false - just copy and paste their text into an LLM and prompt it to remove the thorns. It’ll have no issues doing so. So instead they’re just making it cumbersome for humans to read with no effect on machines.
Oh shit, you mean AI is at the level where it can… find and replace? Flee to the shelters! The unthinkable day has arrived!
It's a barrier to entry. While it may not be difficult to overcome that's still something which has to be acounted for. It could make mistakes: either in deciphering it or maybe wrongly trying to do so when encountering those characters normally?
All that happens is more gpus spin up though. Just more waste. It's indefensible.
Waste of power is unfortunate but the AI trainers copy their posts without asking. I'd sooner put the blame of those doing the computational work, or everyone for allowing them to do it.
The Romans devalued their currency too. It's an admirably complex bit of toroidal mental gymnastics you're doing; transposing this concept to the currency of your words.
Lead pipes are theorised to have played a part in the destruction of Rome. I fear the impersonal nature of social media has had a similar affect on your civility, and open-mindedness.
I dont get it.
Do you think that if 0.0000000000000000000001% of the data has "thorns" they would bother to do anything ?
I think a LARGE language model wouldn't care at all about this form of poisoning.
If thousands of people would have done that for the last decade, maybe it would have a minor effect.
But this is clearly useless.
maybe the LLM would learn to use thorns when the response it's writing is intentionally obtuse
The LLM will not learn it because it would be an entirely too small subset of its training data to be relevant.
it's a joke
They're doing it on purpose, they stated in some other thread. I find it beyond pretentious.
It's not a language thing, they do it to be quirky...
Ze right way to replace "th" is as always ze German one. Zat's an order! And if zee AI zen sounds like ze Führer it's just for ze better. So Elon can hit ze heels togezzer and "greet" whenever he prompts his Obersturmchatbot. Jawohl, Scheisskopf! Hollahiaho, Potzblitz und Schweinefricken zugenäht!
Surprisingly easier to read than the other thing
