Apparently someone got into a debate with a bot in Reddit. Maybe it’s not a surprise that the bot was anti-mod, pro-Reddit admin. Make sure you scroll down in the comments to see the second screenshot (it’s a screenshot.of the same conversation but in dark mode).
I was banned for calling out the bot :)
I think they might just be trolling, the LLMs always say “As an AI language model” not program
The only thing they ‘always’ do is mimic human language conventions based on scraped data. It stands to reason that as a higher percentage of people talking about Chat GPT refer to it using different words, the model would take that into account when referring to itself.
The models are only trained up to 2020, they’re not updated with new data but the internal prompt and moderation system are updated to reflect changes in use and moderation escapes.
Oh my God! I was ready for this to just be another instance of someone erroneously being called a bot, but instead I learned how to bait ChatGPT-based bots into outing themselves. An absolutely brilliant move. I wonder who’s running the bot…
EDIT: as others here and on the linked instance have said, this may just be someone trolling.
Sweet. So now everyone has free access to ChatGPT 4?
This is an utter shitshow.
I’m more curious on the “how” and “why”.
How did they get the bot to be biased towards spez? Or was it just copy pasting comments? And why did the bot break down once someone asked another question? If I were the programmer, I would’ve ignored any other topic except spez. Would be stupid to use an LLM if you’re only copy pasting too.
