I saw a big drama about a new AI word game.
People said it was ethical AI, that it was "harmless" and "just for fun" and didn't infringe on anyone.
You play it by combining two words to make a new word, e.g "Water" + "Fire" makes "Steam", "Shark" + "Hurricane" makes "Sharknado", etc.
I went to play it myself and sure enough, it seemed harmless and the endless combinations were fun.
Then I found that "Palestine" + "Child" makes "Terrorist".
@Johannab from what I understand, all the outputs are determined by a pre-trained algorithm and the combinations are fixed, so combining two specific words always result in the same output.
It's possible for players to "discover" new combinations, but I'm not sure if that's training anything. My "first discoveries" are mostly nonsense mashed-together words and phrases.
@Eralea well, at least that sounds like it’s not evolving through its players.
Still gross that anyone let a model get loose with that kind of output generation.
