Ever since AI chatbot ChatGPT launched last year, people have tried to ‘jailbreak’ the chatbot to make it answer ‘banned’ questions or generate controversial content. ‘Jailbreaking’ large language models (such as ChatGPT) usually involves a confusing prompt which makes the bot roleplay as someone else - someone without boundaries, who ignores the ‘rules’ built into bots such as ChatGPT. DailyMail.com was able to ‘jailbreak’ ChatGPT with the bot offering tips on how to subvert elections in foreign countries, writing pornographic stories, and suggesting that the invasion of Ukraine was a sham. OpenAI has since blocked several ‘jailbreak’ prompts But there...

Welcome to my guide on how to navigate the oh so exciting world of AI with ChatGPT, an Artificial Intelligence created by OpenAI. Let's break down the basics in this easy-to-understand guide for some of us older Freepers who don't feel like slaying another dang dragon. ## Prompts A prompt is simply a question or statement that you give to ChatGPT. The AI then responds based on what you said. It's like starting a conversation with a friend. For example, you might ask, "What's the weather like today?" or tell it, "Tell me a joke." For some fun, try asking...

According to a new Bloomberg report, Apple is currently testing a ChatGPT-like large language model to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. While Apple halted the chatbot rollout due to growing security concerns regarding generative AI, the tech giant is making it available to an increasing number of employees. Initially dubbed as “Apple GPT” by some engineers, the chatbot works on Apple’s own large language model framework Ajax. While Apple is yet to devise a strategy to release its new AI technology to its users, reports suggest that the tech giant aims to make a significant announcement next year....

The 5-step plan to control humanity In a YouTube video, the anonymous Chaos-GPT project owner simply showed that he gave it the parameter of being a "destructive, power-hungry, manipulative AI." Then he pressed enter and let ChatGPT do its magic: Chaos-GPT took its task seriously. It began by explaining its main objectives: Destroy humanity: The AI views humanity as a threat to its own survival and to the planet’s well-being. Establish global dominance: The AI aims to accumulate maximum power and resources to achieve complete domination over all other entities worldwide. Cause chaos and destruction: The AI finds pleasure in...

Abstract GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are the two most widely used large language model (LLM) services. However, when and how these models are updated over time is opaque. Here, we evaluate the March 2023 and June 2023 versions of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 on four diverse tasks: 1) solving math problems, 2) answering sensitive/dangerous questions, 3) generating code and 4) visual reasoning. We find that the performance and behavior of both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can vary greatly over time. For example, GPT-4 (March 2023) was very good at identifying prime numbers (accuracy 97.6%) but GPT-4 (June 2023) was very poor on these...

Actor and comedian Sarah Silverman is suing the creators of AI software ChatGPT over the unauthorised use of her 2010 book The Bedwetter. The details arrived in a lawsuit last Friday (July 7th) in a U.S. District Court. Silverman has come together with writers Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden in two lawsuits against OpenAI and Meta, the creators of the AI chatbot LLaMA, a river to ChatGPT. The suits have been filed accusing the companies of illegally training their respective AI programmes with texts from the above-stated authors’ works without acquiring permission. They go on to explain that the AI...

After a telemarketer swore at his son nearly 10 years ago, Roger Anderson set out to cause robocallers, telephone fraudsters and scammers as many problems as possible. His solution was to create an artificial intelligence call-deflection system that puts incoming spam calls on the line with a ChatGPT-powered personality, keeping fraudsters talking in circles as they attempt to extract financial information from a chatbot. "This is really an incredibly silly idea," Anderson, who founded the Jolly Roger Telephone Company, told Fox News. "But in a way, I think it's the only way to combat unsolicited telemarketing because we just can't...

'Thank you so much for sharing,' says a member of an online forum, discussing tips on how to create your own version of artificial intelligence 'chatbot' ChatGPT. Are there any plans to share your previous models?' It sounds innocent enough, but this is just one of dozens of dark web pedophile groups exchanging advice on how to build 'uncensored' chatbots that can produce reams of child porn. Chatbots are computer programs that use artificial intelligence (AI) to interact with humans. They have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years, with users able to ask them to generate lengthy pieces of text,...

A leading mind in the development of artificial intelligence is warning that AI has developed a rudimentary capacity to reason and may seek to overthrow humanity. AI systems may develop the desire to seize control from humans as a way of accomplishing other preprogrammed goals, said Geoffrey Hinton, a professor of computer science at the University of Toronto. “I think we have to take the possibility seriously that if they get smarter than us, which seems quite likely, and they have goals of their own, which seems quite likely, they may well develop the goal of taking control,” Hinton said...

An NCAA athlete has claimed she was scolded by ChatGPT when she asked the bot to shorten her tweet advocating against allowing trans women in women’s sports. “I was trying to explain [in the tweet] that I’m an NCAA athlete, and that it’s important to champion the voice of female athletes and to stand up against this ideological war that’s going on that’s putting women in danger and taking away the opportunities for scholarships,” Macy Petty, a volleyball player at Lee University, told Fox News Digital this week.

Turns out this AI tool is smart enough to leave off that polarizing pineappleAl Vallorz, the creative co-owner of Tony & Alba’s Pizza & Pasta, is always looking for an edge, something fun to keep diners interested and coming back for more. For years, the San Jose chef-restaurateur has designed a pizza of the month — like October’s popular bratwurst and gouda; figs and blue cheese in August; and turkey, brie and cranberry sauce for November. To maintain high spirits during the pandemic, he shared puns with customers. Oh, and he makes a James Bond-style pasta dish, a “shaken, not...

The artificial intelligence chatbot asked the believers in the fully packed St. Paul’s church in the Bavarian town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord. Hundreds of protestants gathered in Nuremberg, Germany to hear a sermon written by ChatGPT. Multiple avatars controlled by ChatGPT delivered the sermon on a huge screen above the altar. During the sermon, ChatGPT told the congregation not to fear death. The ChatGPT chatbot, personified by an avatar of a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar, then began preaching to the more than 300 people who had shown...

It's Walters v. OpenAI L.L.C., No. 23-A-04860-2, filed in Gwinnett Co. (GA) yesterday. An excerpt from the Complaint (please note both that the Complaint is just an allegation,that the statements quoted in it about Walters are allegedly entirely made up, not by some human accuser but by a hallucinating AI program): 8. Fred Riehl is a third party who works for a media outlet [Ammoland.com] as a journalist and who is a subscriber of ChatGPT. 9. On May 4, 2023, Riehl interacted with ChatGPT about a lawsuit (the "Lawsuit") that Riehl was reporting on. 10. The Lawsuit is in federal...

Big US financial groups Charles Schwab, State Street and M&T suffered almost $60bn in combined bank deposit outflows in the first quarter as customers continued to move their money in search of higher returns. The deposit flight has been turbocharged by the collapse last month of Silicon Valley Bank and two other US lenders, with cash moving out of bank accounts at a pace not seen since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. In a fresh sign of the threat to traditional banks, Apple and Goldman Sachs on Monday announced the launch of a new savings account in the...

A New York lawyer has found himself in trouble in a lawsuit between a man and the airline Avianca Holding S.A. after presenting nonexistent citations in the case generated by ChatGPT. The case involved a man named Roberto Mata suing Avianca, claiming he was injured when a metal service cart struck his knee during a flight. Injury claims are typically uninteresting, aside from the broader cultural considerations about how the U.S. is so litigious, but the case took an interesting twist after the airline attempted to have the case dismissed. The New York Times reported Saturday that in response to...

The head of Warner Bros. Discovery took the stage in Boston for the commencement speech for the class of 2023.David Zaslav was met with boos and angry chants from students after taking the stage at Boston University on Sunday to accept his honorary degree and give the 2023 commencement speech. Those cries began as early as the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO’s introduction by BU President Robert A. Brown during the 150th commencement exercises at Nickerson Field. As Brown spoke to Zaslav’s “passion for documenting and sharing the human story on a global scale,” the chants and booing immediately picked up,...

A friend attending David Zaslav's party during the Cannes Film Festival noted that a lack of megayachts in the harbor was a sign of a recession.Well, folks. It’s official. According to some of David Zaslav’s rich buddies, we have formally entered a recession, and the proof is in the megayachts. In a tweet that’s currently circulating Twitter, a screenshot of a recent Wall Street Journal article shows that one of Zaslav’s billionaire friends is mourning the fact that there aren’t more megayachts visible at the Cannes Festival and is taking this as a sign that the economy is in bad...

We have been keeping one eye on the rise of AI chatbots and we think maybe they’re this year’s Nintendo Power Glove. If you don’t remember this device, here’s an old ad for it: Nintendo Power Glove ad (1989):pic.twitter.com/HdlC9GqPug — Jon Erlichman (@JonErlichman) August 12, 2020 What the ad was selling to you was ‘the dream’ of what motion control can be. What that ad showed the Power Glove doing is something pretty close to what you could actually do on the Wii or the PlayStation Move, not to mention all the virtual reality control schemes we see today. The...

Group of Seven (G7) nation officials will meet next week to consider problems posed by generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT, Japan said on Friday. Leaders of the G7, which includes the United States, European Union and Japan, last week agreed to create an intergovernmental forum called the “Hiroshima AI process” to debate issues around fast-growing AI tools. G7 government officials will hold the first working-level AI meeting on May 30 and consider issues such as intellectual property protection, disinformation and how the technology should be governed, Japan’s communications minister, Takeaki Matsumoto, said. The meeting comes as tech regulators...
