[ExI] ai test

[Gadersd]

GPT3 was trained on a mess of internet data so it would be astounding if it weren’t biased. However, OpenAI has been putting work into fine tuning their models to reduce the bias, but much still remains. Ideally one would train these models only on factually accurate eloquent data, but such data is relatively rare. The most effective method so far is to train on junk and then make refinements.

And GPT-3 does just what humans do: the language model does not decide based on logic, but instead reproduces the fallacy humans fall into.\\
