At least this time around there is intelligence involved, even if it is artificial.

lvxferre@mander.xyz on 21 Mar 2024 18:04 collapse

A lot of the newbies were simply clueless, not necessarily lacking intelligence. Still, they were generating a sudden and huge influx of low quality “content” aka noise, lowering the ability of the [previous] userbase to find what it wanted, and that userbase got understandably pissed.

And eventually this was solved - some platforms died, some got moribund, but the ones that were able to ride on the new times thrived. And more importantly, the internet as a whole found ways to contain and sort that noise.

That’s a lot like what’s happening now, except that the agents are not a huge crowd of noobs - they’re a handful of shitty people using LLMs and Stable Diffusion to do so.

“similar”

lol. a massive growth in real, human, users is not “similar” to a massive growth in fake undependable data with zero to negative value.

BetaDoggo_@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 2024 15:24 next collapse

This article is grossly overstating the findings of the paper. It’s true that bad generated data hurts model performance, but that’s true of bad human data as well. The paper used opt125M as their generator model, a very small research model with fairly low quality and often incoherent outputs. The higher quality generated data which makes up a majority of the generated text online is far less of an issue. The use of generated data to improve output consistency is a common practice for both text and image models.

yokonzo@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 2024 15:42 collapse

Tbh I think you’re making a lot of assumptions and ignoring the point of this paper. The small model was used to quickly show proof of generative degradation over itérations when the model was trained on its own output data. The use of opt125 was used precisely due to its small size so they could demonstrate this phenomenon in less iterations. The point still stands that this shows that data poisoning exists, and just because a Model is much bigger doesn’t make sense that it would be immune to this effect, just that it will take longer. I suspect that with companies continually scraping the web and sources for data, like reddit which this article mentions has struck a deal with Google to allow their models to train off of, this process will not in fact take too long as more and more of reddit posts become AI generated in itself.

I think it’s a fallacy to assume that a giant model is therefore “higher quality” and resistant to data poisoning

Grimy@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 2024 15:52 collapse

Is it being poisoned because the generated data is garbage or because the generated data is made by an AI?

Using a small model let’s it be shown faster but also means the outputs are seriously terrible. It’s common to fine tune models on gpt4 outputs which directly goes against this.

And there is a correlation between size and performance. It’s not a rule per say and people are working hard on squeezing more and more out of small models, but it’s not a fallacy to assume bigger is better.

Cyv_@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 21 Mar 2024 16:13 collapse

I think it’s also worth keeping in mind that some people use AI to generate “real sounding” content for clicks, or for scams, rather than making actual decent content. I’d argue humans making shitty content is going to be on a much worse scale as AI helps automate it. The other thing is I worry AI can’t as easily tell human or AI made bullshit from decent content. I may know the top 2 google results are AI gen clickbait, but whatever is scraping content en masse may not bother to differentiate. So it might become an exponential issue.

spujb@lemmy.cafe on 21 Mar 2024 16:30 next collapse

i miss when we had kept gpt unpublished because it was “too dangerous”. i wish we could have released it in a more mature way.

because we were right. we couldn’t be trusted and immediately ruined the biggest wonder of humanity by having it generate thousands to millions of articles for a quick buck. toothpaste is out of the tube now and it can never go back in.

Someone would have made one eventually. Unless the government monitors every computer in existence, AI is inevitable.

JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee on 21 Mar 2024 17:03 next collapse

And just to make it clear, we should not give the government the ability to monitor every computer in existence, or even any computer not owned by them.

spujb@lemmy.cafe on 21 Mar 2024 17:29 next collapse

also, there are absolutely other ways to regulate technology, especially since it’s a tech that’s being bought and sold.

“monitor every computer” is emphatically not the only solution ? and it’s weird that they suggested that lol

r3df0x@7.62x54r.ru on 21 Mar 2024 17:43 collapse

That’s why AI is inevitable without a massive surveillance state.

spujb@lemmy.cafe on 21 Mar 2024 17:13 collapse

it’s not the “making one” that’s a problem. it’s the making, optimizing and rabid marketing of one in the service of capital instead of humans.

if only a bunch of open source, true non-profits released language models, the landscape might still suck but would be distinctly less toxic.

and if the government (or even a decently sized ngo standards entity) had worked proactively with computer scientists to find solutions like watermarking, labor replacement protections, and copyright protections, things might be arguably perfect. not one of those things happened and so further into the hellscape we descend.

Are they talking about inbreeding when most of the online content is AI generated and AI starts training on other AI data?

pixxelkick@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 2024 17:33 next collapse

I’ve been calling this for awhile now.

I’ve been calling it the Ouroboros effect.

There’s even bigger parts at play the paper didn’t even dig into, and that’s selective bias dye to human intervention.

See at first let’s say an AI has 100 unique outputs for a given prompt.

However, humans will favor let’s say half of em. Humans will naturally regenerate a couple times and pick their preferred “cream of the crop” result.

This will then ouroboros for an iteration.

Now the next iteration only has say 50 unique responses, as half of them have been ouroboros’d away by humans picking the one they like more.

Repeat, each time “half-lifing” the originality.

Over time, everything will get more abd more sameish. Models will degrade on originality as everything muddles into corporate speak.

You know how every corporate website uses the same useless “doesn’t mean anything” jargon string of words, to say a lot without actually saying anything?

That’s how AI is going to local minima to, as it keeps getting selectively “bred” to speak in an appealing and nonspecific way for the majority of online content.

kromem@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 2024 20:32 collapse

No, it won’t.

A number of things:

  • When the cited paper came out it was the first looking at this. And even with just 10% of the original data the effects were mitigated.
  • Since, another paper found a mix of synthetic and organic data is the best performing mixture.
  • The quality of the models producing the synthetic data matters a lot.
  • Other research has found huge benefits in training models with synthetic data from SotA models.
  • Models are only getting better, meaning the quality of synthetic data will be improving.

It only leads to collapse if all organic data representing long tails of data variety disappear. Which hopefully throws water on x-risk doomers as AI killing humanity would currently be a murder suicide.
