- par1970 7d agoHow did they know that people wouldn't find a way to use "the dataset, training code, or GPT‑2 model weights" to "generate misleading news articles, impersonate others online, automate the production of abusive or faked content to post on social media, automate the production of spam/phishing content."? If I remember correctly, it seemed like a plausible outcome to me (especially spam and junk social media content). Was there some conclusive evidence that I was missing?
- vlyan 7d agoyes, the conclusive evidence you're missing is that GPT-2 could do those things about as convincingly as a Markov chain.
