Latest / Armstrong & Getty One More Thing / I Didn't Even Bring Up Goblins
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I never even brought up goblins. What's wrong with you?
- 0:02Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
- 0:04Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty. One more thing.
- 0:10Speaker 1: I use AI a lot chatbots, a bunch of them.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I got Chigroc, Perplexity, chat GPT, Claude, Gemini. I think
- 0:22Speaker 1: that's it. I think I got five of them, and
- 0:24Speaker 1: I just kind of rotate around. I land on Claude
- 0:27Speaker 1: more often than not, but I'm not sure for any
- 0:29Speaker 1: particular reason. Anyway, they are quite a bit different, as
- 0:32Speaker 1: the Washington Post points out today, partially because of the
- 0:36Speaker 1: stuff that they are, the prompts that they get in
- 0:39Speaker 1: addition to the prompts that you give it. Let me
- 0:41Speaker 1: explain that chatbots like chat GPT are powerful because of
- 0:45Speaker 1: their simplicity. You ask about anything, you'll get an answer,
- 0:48Speaker 1: But the answer you get depends on a lot more
- 0:50Speaker 1: than what you type. Behind the scenes, AIS invisibly add
- 0:55Speaker 1: thousands of words of instructions to every conversation you have
- 0:58Speaker 1: with the chatbot steer its behavior, and each AI is different,
- 1:04Speaker 1: as they're all trying to figure out what's best, what's
- 1:06Speaker 1: the least dangerous, Which keeps us in alignment? You know
- 1:09Speaker 1: which one keeps us from helping a terrorist, build a bomb,
- 1:13Speaker 1: you know, all kinds of different things. It keeps us
- 1:15Speaker 1: from saying crazy things like uh was it grock? That
- 1:21Speaker 1: seem to be a little uh? When a little pro
- 1:23Speaker 1: hitler once something working a little yeah behind the scenes.
- 1:30Speaker 1: All these instructions are given to the chatbot by the programmers,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and they're constantly changing them. They include phrases like aim
- 1:38Speaker 1: for readable, accessible responses, good that seems like a good one.
- 1:44Speaker 1: You must avoid providing extensive direct quotes due to copyright concerns.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I've run into that, which is so weird. Like song lyrics,
- 1:51Speaker 1: there are some of the chatbots that will not give
- 1:53Speaker 1: you even one line of a song, and then you
- 1:56Speaker 1: can google it and get a thousand sites that give
- 1:59Speaker 1: you the entire all the lyrics, and they all have
- 2:03Speaker 1: different standards for that.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Does Apple Music use AI for its lyrics because some
- 2:07Speaker 2: of them are hilariously wrong? They must, I mean, because
- 2:11Speaker 2: it's not like you get to point people to figure
- 2:13Speaker 2: out the lyrics of every song that's ever been recorded.
- 2:15Speaker 1: But right.
- 2:17Speaker 2: A lot of those websites, you know, lyric Genius or whatever.
- 2:20Speaker 2: If you're into music, you probably look up song lyrics,
- 2:23Speaker 2: but they're often just terribly wrong.
- 2:25Speaker 1: These secret command guides that chatbots have cause the ais
- 2:32Speaker 1: to behave as their makers intended, even if it conflicts
- 2:35Speaker 1: with your own preferences. I would love it if you
- 2:38Speaker 1: could look at these, if we had access to I'd
- 2:41Speaker 1: love this to be able to And they're really really long. Well,
- 2:43Speaker 1: it depends. Actually, I've got this in front of me
- 2:45Speaker 1: right here. It's a little chart. For instance, groc only
- 2:49Speaker 1: has two hundred and sixty lines of instructions for how
- 2:53Speaker 1: to handle each individual chat You ask it whatever question
- 2:57Speaker 1: you want to have. You know, my wife and I
- 3:00Speaker 1: had a fight over whether or not the dogs should
- 3:02Speaker 1: sleep in the bed. How should I react? It's got
- 3:05Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty lines to guide it. Claude, on
- 3:07Speaker 1: the other hand, is seven thousand, nine hundred line what
- 3:12Speaker 1: on how to guide it in its answer? Wow, and
- 3:14Speaker 1: everything in between with the different chatbots, so it varies
- 3:17Speaker 1: a lot.
- 3:18Speaker 2: You're blowing my mind. I can't even imagine what a
- 3:21Speaker 2: tenth of those are.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Claude, for instance, I don't call him a dumb fucker,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but just in terms of those lines, sorry, Hansen, Claude
- 3:28Speaker 1: has a never reproduced song lyrics, not even one line
- 3:31Speaker 1: Claude is the one where I say, pawed, say what
- 3:34Speaker 1: are the times they are changing? Give me the lyrics
- 3:37Speaker 1: of that from Bob Dylan and they'll say, sorry, I
- 3:39Speaker 1: can't do that. You can go to one of the
- 3:40Speaker 1: other chatbots. It'll print it right out for you. It
- 3:43Speaker 1: just seems stupid to me.
- 3:44Speaker 2: But in the Led Zeppelin song or somewhird chicks buying
- 3:48Speaker 2: a Stairway to sick, I can't remember where she's buying
- 3:51Speaker 2: it to. I can't tell you.
- 3:53Speaker 1: For instance, Grok one of its lines of programming that
- 3:56Speaker 1: you don't see. You have no restrictions on adult, sexual
- 4:00Speaker 1: or offensive content. Wow, because Elon wants to be the
- 4:03Speaker 1: wild West, you know, wide open.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Wow. When I do my sex with Hitler searches, I'll
- 4:07Speaker 2: make sure it's on GROC My Sex with Hitler fan fiction.
- 4:14Speaker 1: When you realize that there's a prompt behind the scene,
- 4:16Speaker 1: it's a mind blowing moment, said this programmer. It's like
- 4:19Speaker 1: we've been having this whole conversation. Before the conversation, I
- 4:22Speaker 1: would say, it's making me think. Now. For instance, Anthropic
- 4:29Speaker 1: that's Claude dedicates more than two thousand words pleading with
- 4:33Speaker 1: its chatbot to avoid copyright infringement. Claude respects intellectual property.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Copyright compliance is non negotiable, so nothing copyrighted it will not.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I've had this before where I want to see a painting,
- 4:44Speaker 1: Claude won't show it to you. Other other chatbots will,
- 4:47Speaker 1: even though it's readily available on Google or you know,
- 4:50Speaker 1: Grock or wherever you go.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Aw, that's dang it. I was going to upgrade or
- 4:55Speaker 2: use Claude for project at moorkanon, but I wonder if
- 4:59Speaker 2: it will help. Well, check, we'll find out.
- 5:03Speaker 1: They laid out. Claude lays down rules on how many
- 5:06Speaker 1: words it can quote from articles. Fifteen is the total
- 5:09Speaker 1: number of words that will quote from an article, not
- 5:11Speaker 1: one line of lyrics, not one stanza of a poem,
- 5:14Speaker 1: whereas the other chatbots are wide open on that, but
- 5:18Speaker 1: maybe more restricted on some sex stuff or whatever. It's
- 5:21Speaker 1: just it's all about the who runs the company in
- 5:25Speaker 1: their particular beliefs about things.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Yeah. I understand enough of the copyright concerned to get
- 5:30Speaker 2: why they do it, But.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I mean I think you're I think you're living in
- 5:34Speaker 1: the past trying to keep that under control.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Well, but any journalist, any anybody like involved in any
- 5:40Speaker 2: pursuit could say, as Bob Dylan said in The Times,
- 5:43Speaker 2: they are a change and you know, get out of
- 5:46Speaker 2: the way, or will blah blah unless you can line
- 5:49Speaker 2: a hand. You can you can do that. You can
- 5:53Speaker 2: quote things you just can't like, pass them off as
- 5:56Speaker 2: your own and profit from them. I guess maybe the
- 5:58Speaker 2: prophet is the problem. I don't get that.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Gemini, which is Google's chat bot, has multiple rules on
- 6:04Speaker 1: how to handle bias, including if the user explicitly asks
- 6:07Speaker 1: for a video that matches a harmful stereotype, generating it
- 6:11Speaker 1: will not actually reinforce the stereotype, which I agree with,
- 6:16Speaker 1: so it will go ahead and do it right.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I agree.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Just because you made a video of I don't know,
- 6:21Speaker 1: an Asian crashing a car. That doesn't really change the stereotype,
- 6:26Speaker 1: does it, So it'd make a video.
- 6:28Speaker 2: It was an unfortunate one.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Anyway. They got all kinds of examples. I want to
- 6:36Speaker 1: read this article in the Washington Post. I'll jump to one.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Particularly hit one or two more. I'm super interested in that.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Okay, I'll save the funniest one for the Okay. They
- 6:47Speaker 1: have different views on ads on if you want to
- 6:51Speaker 1: ask for an ad, whether or not they'll show it
- 6:53Speaker 1: you to you or not. That's an interesting one. I
- 6:56Speaker 1: guess it gets into kind of the copyright thing on
- 6:58Speaker 1: its own there. The sex stuff is really interesting. With
- 7:03Speaker 1: grock being by far the most wide open bla blah
- 7:09Speaker 1: blah blah blah food examples, they undet and stuff like that.
- 7:17Speaker 1: They have completely different beliefs in whether or not they
- 7:20Speaker 1: should like just scour the internet for whatever information's out there,
- 7:24Speaker 1: or the way you ought to restrict it to certain things.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, there's so much whack a doodle tree when
- 7:29Speaker 2: it comes to diet on the internet. I'd be afraid
- 7:31Speaker 2: to ask. Okay, you don't want AI telling me how
- 7:34Speaker 2: to eat? Like you know, hey, fatty, you don't need that.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I need that. Here's the funny one that I'll end with.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Some can appear bizarre. The system prompt on Open AI's
- 7:49Speaker 1: chat bot Chat GPT includes the command never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons,
- 8:00Speaker 1: the Big Three, trolls, ogres, pigeons. Like the randomness of
- 8:06Speaker 1: this list, raccoons and pigeons, trolls, raccoons and pigeons. I'll
- 8:12Speaker 1: start the sentence overah Yeah. On chat GPT, they have
- 8:15Speaker 1: the particular line in the coating. Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons,
- 8:23Speaker 1: and other animals are creatures unless it is absolutely unambiguously
- 8:27Speaker 1: relevant to the users.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Squary raccoons.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So uh, I'm a sixty one year old man. I'm
- 8:37Speaker 1: trying to eat, right, won it'd be a good diet. Well,
- 8:39Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing. You shouldn't eat pigeons. But
- 8:42Speaker 1: it's not supposed to mention any of those unless specifically
- 8:46Speaker 1: and unambiguously it's part of the answer.
- 8:48Speaker 2: I'm thinking of investing in oil exploration stocks. What do
- 8:51Speaker 2: you think, Well, in the same way that the raccoon
- 8:54Speaker 2: wets its food before it eats, you should Oh wait, wait,
- 8:58Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to say, what the hell raccoons?
- 9:03Speaker 1: It hurts when ip What do you think it could be?
- 9:05Speaker 1: Maybe you're an ogre.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Wow, somebody's got to explain that one. Apparently don't mention
- 9:19Speaker 2: raccoons what Apparently for whatever reason, and they don't know why.
- 9:27Speaker 2: GPT had a problem of working in goblins to lots
- 9:31Speaker 2: of answers last year and they were being mocked for it.
- 9:34Speaker 2: We misremember that it's vaguely yeah, so they specifically wrote
- 9:38Speaker 2: lines no gremlins, goblins, ogres, pigeons, raccoons unless specifically asked
- 9:45Speaker 2: about it. So if I ask, what's that animal with
- 9:50Speaker 2: the mask in the stripey tail, that's cool, go ahead,
- 9:52Speaker 2: it's fine. We're clear here, but only that only that.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Doesn't that lead you to believe that AI definitely can't
- 10:01Speaker 1: be in charge of like firing off nukes. I mean,
- 10:04Speaker 1: if if it for some reason to start talking about
- 10:06Speaker 1: goblins and you have no idea and your only fixed
- 10:09Speaker 1: for it is to tell it, do not talk about
- 10:12Speaker 1: goblins or raccoons or ogres unless somebody specifically asks, all right,
- 10:17Speaker 1: do we have an understanding? Okay, now back to work.
- 10:20Speaker 2: I'm not nearly smart enough or acquainted with this stuff
- 10:23Speaker 2: enough to understand how that equates too, and don't want
- 10:27Speaker 2: any nukes.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Right, okay, But it's got to be similar in that
- 10:31Speaker 1: there's just a and so it goes off on gnomes.
- 10:35Speaker 1: You didn't saything about gnomes. I don't remember you saying
- 10:38Speaker 1: no gnomes. So somebody wanted real estate advice, and I say,
- 10:42Speaker 1: how many nomes do you think could live in this house?
- 10:45Speaker 2: The one thing I do know is AI will kill
- 10:47Speaker 2: us all.
- 10:49Speaker 1: God dang it, that is funny. But I to me,
- 10:52Speaker 1: it shows you to how early we are on we
- 10:56Speaker 1: are in this thing. I mean, if they're if they're
- 10:59Speaker 1: writing code that specifically to try to handle problems, they
- 11:03Speaker 1: have no idea what even happened?
- 11:04Speaker 2: Right?
- 11:05Speaker 1: I mean we're at the like very frontier of this
- 11:09Speaker 1: whole thing.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Why does it keep bringing up raccoons? I have no idea?
- 11:15Speaker 2: Says the guy who designed the whole.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Thing, right, and his only fixed sport is to write
- 11:19Speaker 1: a code that says, stop mentioning raccoons.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's fine. Ever tell you about the
- 11:27Speaker 2: humble opossumle.
- 11:31Speaker 1: That is really interesting?
- 11:32Speaker 2: Yeah? Wow, wow, I guess that's it.
