@JoBlakely thanks, Jo, will check it out. You might also be interested in this particular panel of @DAIR's #StochasticParrotsDay which touches upon the exploitation of data workers in #Kenya in more detail:

Huge congratulations to the workers who have successfully unionized.

"For too long we, the workers powering the AI revolution, were treated as different and less than moderators,” said Richard Mathenge, a former ChatGPT content moderator who worked on the outsourcing company Sama’s contract with OpenAI, which ended in 2022. "

“an LM is a system for haphazardly stitching together sequences of linguistic forms it has observed in its vast training data, according to probabilistic information about how they combine, but without any reference to meaning: a stochastic parrot 🦜.”

I often make fun of Yahoo for thinking it could catalog everything on this new thing, the Web. Some would say that the training sets are just too large to curate as you suggest. At the #StochasticParrotsDay event Friday, I believe it was @emilymbender who mocked the apparently Freuudian quest by present LLM-makers to get an ever-bigger model. So in the end, I will agree to the extent possible, that one should concentrate on quality over quantity in training data.

#Handelsblatt moechte einem gewissen Sebstian Matthes Erkenntnis und eine differenzierteren Blick wuenschen, gerade hinsichtlich #ChatGPT; in einer vernetzten Welt sind fundierte Informationen durchaus verfuegbar.
Moeglicherweise hilft der Hashtag #StochasticParrots und #StochasticParrotsDay .

Hier sind beide nicht vertreten, oh welch Ueberraschung.
