      These replies are so disheartening. "GPT-3 is just saying racist things because it was trained on racist things, what's the problem?"https://twitter.com/an_open_mind/status/1284487376312709120 …

      Will Crichton added,

      #gpt3 is surprising and creative but it’s also unsafe due to harmful biases. Prompted to write tweets from one word - Jews, black, women, holocaust - it came up with these (https://thoughts.sushant-kumar.com/ ). We need more progress on #ResponsibleAI before putting NLG models in production. pic.twitter.com/FAscgUr5Hh

      This is an awful defense. White supremacists have explicit strategies for spreading hate online based on finding specific terms.

          The problem is that it's *so easy* for ML devs to miss training data bias. The Tiny Images dataset was used for 14 years before we realized that it contained racist and misogynistic categories (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.16923.pdf …).

          I just... don't understand the vehement defense of GPT-3 here. Are we not all in agreement that it's bad to say those things? And subsequently we don't want to train AI to say it as well?
