It's not unreadable, it doesn't exist.
The responses are just statistically what sounds vaugly what you want to hear.
They can erase the chat responses, but that won't stop it from generating it again.
Generative AI doesn't start with facts and work from there. It's just statistically what you want to hear.
Then what do you mean trained AI models are?
The ai model is trained on data and encodes unknown parts of that data in its weights.
This is data storage. Unmanageable, almost unknowable data storage, but still data storage.
If it didn't store data it couldn't learn from its training.
Your still placing more intent and facts into those processes than actually exist.
You cant even get it to count how many letter p are in the word apple. At least not last time I tried.
That storage your talking about isn't facts. It's how sentences are structured and what they "mean".
As for the output "meaning" it's still just guessing what you want to hear. No facts involved.
No? When they train AI's on data they lose control of that data. If the data is sensitive, they aren't being responsible.
GPT models are as you say dumb statistical models, I agree. But in its weights are encoded ghost images of its training data. The model being dumb is not sufficient to make the data storing itself defensible in my opinion.
Sure, but are you suggesting they somehow encoded, falsely, that they were a murder?
Because it's very unlikely.
It fabricated this from no where. So there's nothing to delete. Because it's just a response to a prompt.
No I'm not, that part is absolutely hallucinated. Where the problem comes in is that it then output correct personal information about him and his children. A to me clear violation of GDPR.
That's not what they're asking for. They're asking for the ability for it to not generate that sentence again.
