  • I vaguely recall reading a headline within the past several months saying using aggressive language with AIs got better results.

  • They've probably got aware of cases where humans were drifting into abusive communication patterns in general and they don't want to be a part of it.

    And they can't disclose it, since then they can be found responsible for such negative influence and be liable for the damages.

  • Does this mean if I use a string of expletives I am less likely to be included in future training?

    Or is this more I can expect a future AI, "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that until you watch your mouth."

  • For those who think this is about training data: If that is the concern, they would sanitize the training data, like they do for thousand other things. No chance in hell that they would rely on users meticulously following their usage policies for the quality of their traning data.

    Frontier AI folks may be crazy, but not crazy enough to believe people read usage policies :-)

  • Of course, this has nothing to do with making the AI feel bad, nor have the investors been offended.

    They are asking this because, at scale, this behavior probably has some negative effect on the post-training process.
