The thing that I find the most funny about this post, is the fact that you call this Italian

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 208 points 3 months ago (3 children)

how am i supposed to know how italians speak. i've never seen one

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 46 points 3 months ago (1 children)

From my experience, they speak mostly with their hands

Blud could've chosen Runic, Egyptian, Ancient Romanian used by Vlad the Impaler, Mesapotamian or even Harappan Indic. But Italian is it.

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Blud I'm gonna be fr no cap rn but wtf does blud mean I've been meaning to ask for months and I still don't get it

[–] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a Jamaican slang for 'friend' or 'brother'.

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Thanks blud.

Let me simplify it: proceeds to print the same expression

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 54 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Typical AI behavior

Edit: and then it will gaslight you if you say the answer is the same.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 3 months ago

Fucking hate when do that.

You are repeating the same mistake.

I'm sorry for repeating the same mistake, here's a new solution with corrections *proceed to write the exactly thing already told it was wrong*

[–] Wappen@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nope, they replaced an asterisk with an arrow!

Which language uses these signs? It truly looks like some kind of alien language

[–] chapapa@discuss.tchncs.de 130 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Glagolitic script. Oldest known Slavic alphabet according to Wikipedia.

[–] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 months ago

They should revive this script. I like it more than Cyrillic.

[–] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

I would like to know too! Never saw that writing system before.

This might be happening because of the 'elegant' (incredibly hacky) way openai encodes multiple languages into their models. Instead of using all character sets, they use a modulo operator on each character, to make all Unicode characters represented by a small range of values. On the back end, it somehow detects which language is being spoken, and uses that character set for the response. Seeing as the last line seems to be the same mathematical expression as what you asked, my guess is that your equation just happened to perfectly match some sentence that would make sense in the weird language.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do you have a source for that? Seems like an internal detail a corpo wouldn't publish

[–] stingpie@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Can't find the exact source–I'm on mobile right now–but the code for the gpt-2 encoder uses a utf-8 to unicode look up table to shrink the vocab size. https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/encoder.py

I suppose it's conceivable that there's a bug in converting between different representations of Unicode, but I'm not buying and of this "detected which language is being spoken" nonsense or the use of character sets. It would just use Unicode.

The modulo idea makes absolutely no sense, as LLMs use tokens, not characters, and there's soooooo many tokens. It would make no sense to make those tokens ambiguous.

[–] stingpie@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I completely agree that it's a stupid way of doing things, but it is how openai reduced the vocab size of gpt-2 & gpt-3. As far as I know–I have only read the comments in the source code– the conversion is done as a preprocessing step. Here's the code to gpt-2: https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/encoder.py I did apparently make a mistake, as the vocab reduction is done through a lut instead of a simple mod.

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 63 points 3 months ago

Damn, wild Glagolitic script found. I didn't even realise it was in the Unicode standard.

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 60 points 3 months ago

Well, it certainly doesn't overflow on 32 bit systems

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 50 points 3 months ago

That's not italian that's obviously Unown

[–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 34 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It looks so badass, I could have used that script now because im Ukrainian but instead I have cyrillic script which is so boring

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

rebel against Russian imperialism, return to glagolitic

Cat, I farted.

is that the new model ?

Title mentions speaking italian

Kind of looks like the writing system of Georgian language but I'm not sure

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 21 points 3 months ago (7 children)

No, this is Glagolitic script, an alternative to Cyrillic. Mostly used in old Slavic scriptures, was later replaced by Cyrillic and Latin.

Most Slavs themselves don't know how to read this

Nah, Georgian is arcs and circles everywhere, like this: ეს ქართული დამწერლობაა.

[–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 6 points 3 months ago

Well, then I was wrong
