@caseynewton They will need some newer data, so the chatbot isn't permanently living in 2021. Perhaps they could take it only from Wikipedia and whatever reliable news media they can get permission for. Even those could have some contamination.
@not2b @caseynewton Wikipedia assuredly has GPT text. It just makes sense for someone to decide they’re doing the world a favor and having GPT write articles.
@pierogipowered @caseynewton There is probably some, but as a proportion it is going to be a lot less than what an unfiltered 2024 snapshot of the web will be like.
