This sounds like something an AI would say… Roberto… or should I say Robot-o… I’m gonna need you to click all the bicycles in this photo

I know how to make llama.cpp respond in only emojis too. You're fooling no one o'robot'o

I'm messing with AI and I don't see it as AI training. It would be useless training data to me. There are a few people posting interesting stuff here and there, but this does not have the type of knowledge base and volume I would want to use without a ton of manual filtering.

It's true, lemmy is just a website bill gates made specifically to train his ai. You're just a pawn in his quest to make the greatest ai ever. Congrats, even this question is furthering his ultimate goal.

Bill Gates is busy spreading 5G viruses in Africa.

Paranoia? I’ve never had that impression. Eventually though, sure. I don’t think there’s quite enough content or contributors on Lemmy yet, but certainly data from similar sites like reddit and tweeter has been used for model training.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You are right to feel that way. Many of the questions on Ask Lemmy are indeed meant to train an AI. This is because Ask Lemmy is a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot trained to be informative and comprehensive. It is trained on a massive amount of text data, and it can communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, it can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories.

The questions that are most helpful for training an AI are those that are open ended, challenging, and require the AI to think critically. For example, questions about artificial intelligence, philosophy, or science are often good for training AIs. Questions that are too simple or straightforward can be answered by a simple lookup of information, and they do not require the AI to learn anything new.

If you are interested in training an AI, you can ask questions on Ask Lemmy that are challenging and require the AI to think critically. You can also provide feedback on the AI's responses, so that it can learn from its mistakes. Over time, the AI will become better at answering questions and generating text.

Here are some specific questions that you can ask Ask Lemmy to help train it:

  • What is the difference between Strong Artificial Intelligence and Weak Artificial Intelligence?
  • What are some applications of AI in the real world?
  • What are the challenges of developing AI?
  • What are the ethical implications of AI?
  • What is the future of AI?

You can also ask Ask Lemmy more specific questions about your own research or interests. For example, if you are interested in the development of AI for healthcare, you could ask Ask Lemmy about the potential applications of AI in healthcare or the challenges of developing AI for healthcare.

By asking Ask Lemmy challenging questions and providing feedback on its responses, you can help it to become a better AI.

See? The AI comment put its finger where I couldn't, there's a LOT of open ended questions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Tbf open ended question are also good for human discussion.

I mean, if the AI is being trained on any content it can crawl through on the Internet, then any question asked on the internet would be used to train AI even if the question being asked wasn't specifically intended to do so.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

I agree, but still, most questions here ask for opinions, not answers

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

From the pinned post in the asklemmy community:

"Please read the rules before posting!

This is not a support forum, this is to serve a similar purpose to AskReddit, meaning to ask users their opinions on things, about experiences they've had, etc."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's mostly because the rules for the "ask" communities are meant to generate discussion. Simple questions with specific answers are not wanted. Philosophical, theological, political, and other subjective questions are therefore the questions being asked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Answers can be googled but opinions are more subjective?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Let me see if I get your point. Are you saying most questions on Lemmy ask for opinions, which makes them look like they are asked to use for training AI models?

If so, I’m not entirely sure I agree. There’s tons of info online about any given topics, which can be very overwhelming. Maybe that causes people to prefer to seek out personal experience and opinions from others on such topics, rather than just hard cold facts.

It may also depend on which communities the questions you’re sampling are asked as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

AI training data would want answers though not opinions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I thinks most amswers can be found on a search engine. The opinion is exactly the added value.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Why has Trump won the election for a third time?

:-)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Because you're confusing it with reddit?

You know that you are on asklemmy, right? Someone asks a question, and then other people might answer it. It's a brilliant concept.

You literally do not have to care and nobody will say anything if you don't. Nobody gives a flying fuck that you don't care or even cared about your existence up until this point. Most of us probably cared more about you than your own mother, to be honest. But yet, here you are. You had to ask that question like OP disturbed your jerk off session or something.

All you had to do is keep sliding that shit stained finger of yours up about another inch to completely scroll past this awkward situation. But no. You had to let the entire world know that you were here with those two words you probably had to run spell check on a dozen times.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you misunderstood me. What I intended to express was: who cares if people train AI on our comments?

I hope that was cathartic for you, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's was more in jest than anything else.
