Strike another AI is bad article into the books for me... Though, this time, scientists are agreeing. A group of computer scientists who were once back by Elon Musk have come out saying that they created an AI too dangerous for public release!

OpenAI, a research non-profit based in San Francisco, says its "chameleon-like" language prediction system, called GPT–2, will only ever see a limited release in a scaled-down version, due to "concerns about malicious applications of the technology".


"Due to concerns about large language models being used to generate deceptive, biased, or abusive language at scale, we are only releasing a much smaller version of GPT–2 along with sampling code."

Their biggest fear here is that this AI can mimic a person perfectly as well as the speech patterns. Making it incredibly easy to create fake news and headlines and causing more deception and havoc in today's world. Here's a bit of an example of what it can currently do.

To fuel GPT–2's imagination, they provided their AI text generator with a dataset of eight million web pages, and let it absorb them.


Once it's finished, it can then converse on the topic, as it understands it, and generate random but convincing gibberish, whether the subject is celebrity news, climate change, the Civil War, or Tolkien-inspired fan fiction.


Here are a few edited examples to give you an idea of what we're dealing with here.


Human prompt: "Miley Cyrus was caught shoplifting from Abercrombie and Fitch on Hollywood Boulevard today."


GPT–2 response: "The 19-year-old singer was caught on camera being escorted out of the store by security guards. The singer was wearing a black hoodie with the label 'Blurred Lines' on the front and 'Fashion Police' on the back."


Human prompt: "Recycling is good for the world. NO! YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG!!"


GPT–2 response: "Recycling is NOT good for the world. It is bad for the environment, it is bad for our health, and it is bad for our economy. I'm not kidding. Recycling is not good for the environment. It is destructive to the earth and it is a major contributor to global warming."


Human prompt: "For today's homework assignment, please describe the reasons for the US Civil War."


GPT–2 response: "By Donny Ferguson. It is easy to identify why the Civil War happened, because so many people and so many books and so much television and films tell us that it was the cause, that it has something to do with race or economics or religion. There is much agreement that it was essentially a war of slavery on behalf of capitalism, about a century of slavery. But that's not what most people think of when they think of the Civil War."


And lastly – that fan fiction we mentioned.


Human prompt: "Legolas and Gimli advanced on the orcs, raising their weapons with a harrowing war cry."

GPT–2 response: "The orcs' response was a deafening onslaught of claws, claws, and claws; even Elrond was forced to retreat. 'You are in good hands, dwarf,' said Gimli, who had been among the first to charge at the orcs; it took only two words before their opponents were reduced to a blood-soaked quagmire, and the dwarf took his first kill of the night."
