Am I missing something? The article seems to suggest it works via hidden text characters. Has OpenAI never heard of pasting text into a utf8 notepad before?

Lol. AI gonna take over the developers job. Like that's even close to happening.

LLMs aren't going to take coding jobs, there are specific case AIs being trained for that. They write code that works but does not make sense to human eyes. It's fucking terrifying but EVERYONE just keeps focusing on the LLMS.

There are at least 2 more dangerous model types being used right now to influence elections and manipulate online spaces and ALL everyone cares about is their fucking parrot bots....

Thanks, great read. Appreciate it. That was one example but you mentioned two - are you thinking of some of the broader disinformation applications in addition to the data gathering mentioned?

Look, I don't want to waste your time so let me tell you this is a subject I have been concerned about, researched, coded for, and posting about mass manipulation via AI since the 90s.

You can really be pedantic and nit-picky all you want, it really doesn't matter to me. AI is the second greatest existential threat we face as a species. If you haven't already been convinced at least to some degree of its danger, nothing I will say will change your mind anyway.

The most dangerous right now AI manifestation is in sentiment identification and control, the second is autonomous armed robots.

Few years ago the output of GPT was complete gibberish and few years before that even producing such gibberish would've been impressive.

It doesn't take anyone's job untill it does.

That's not really true. Older GPTs were already really good. Did you ever see SubredditSimulator? I'm pretty sure that first came around like 10 years ago.

They were good for about a paragraph, maybe less.

As soon as they reached the attention limit they started talking gibberish.

The first time I saw text written by GPT it all seemed alright at first glance but once you started to actually read it was immediately obvious it had no idea what it was talking about. It was grammatically correct nonsense.
