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.

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.

Why has Trump won the election for a third time?

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.

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

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 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."

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 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.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Answers can be googled but opinions are more subjective?

[–] inspxtr@lemmy.world 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.

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

AI training data would want answers though not opinions.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 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.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 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.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's was more in jest than anything else.
