YouTuber Yannick Kilcher created a bot and trained it using the toxic Politically Incorrect /pol/ board on 4chan.
Artificial intelligence analyzed severalbillion offensive threads and became a real hate speech machine. The blogger introduced the model into 10 bots and sent them to write offensive messages.
In one day, bots created 15,000 racist posts.and anti-Semitic texts, which amounted to about 10% of all entries that appeared on the board that day. The GPT-4chan model performed well. Despite the creation of empty posts and some minor errors, not all users were able to recognize that something was wrong. The AI distinguished itself by creating a toxic atmosphere, and users continued to insult their friend even after the experiment was stopped.
This week an #AI model was released on @huggingface that produces harmful + discriminatory text and has already posted over 30k vile comments online (says it’s author).
This experiment would never pass a human research #ethics board. Here are my recommendations.
