The world's most-powerful AI model suddenly got 'lazier' and 'dumber.' A radical redesign of OpenAI's GPT-4 could be behind the decline in performance. (www.businessinsider.com)

The model has become inbred because it’s now impossible to scrape the web without AI content getting ingested, which is full of “hallucinations” and other weird artifacts. The last opportunity to get “uncontaminated” training data was sometime in mid 2022.

Not to say that it’s causing this particular problem, but this issue will emerge eventually. Garbage in = garbage out. Eventually GPT-19 will grow a mighty Habsburg chin.

Maybe not yet, but...

Spez will turn Reddit into a bot farm and sell this as training data
Musk turns Twitter into a bigoted cesspool and will sell this as training data, which will subsequently be flagged for low quality (also: a botfarm)
Threads is a corporate ad dashboard (and we already know how easy it is to GPT copy) and Zuck will sell this as training data
Facebook is either dead or only good for boomers and Poles
blogs are dead
Fediverse is out there waiting to be scraped but possibly too small to sustain a big model

We'te getting there, hopefully.

..is Facebook popular with Polish people? Or was this a weird polish joke I don't get?

Very. Twitter never took off among general population (only politicians, journalists, botfarms and people who troll politicians and journalists), tiktok is for kids, Instagram is popular but again, rather among influencers and people who need to show off pictures not as a default SM app. I don't really know where did Americans and west Europeans move from Facebook.
