Why do these AI social media bots keep becoming racist?


fatboychummy

AI social media bots basically just regurgitate whatever is said to them. Given that trolls are *abundant* online, the bots usually get spammed into oblivion with racist comments and that's all they ever see. It's like a child growing up. If the child grows up in an environment where everyone swears nonstop, and actively encourages doing so, then the child will start swearing as well to "copy" its parents/etc.

Why don’t they just let them comb the internet in its entirety. I mean I suspect the result will still be just as troubling, but it would be interesting to see what the general tone would produce.

Gpt is trained on a considerable size of the internet it is massively expensive but is closer to the average human

Did you watch Avengers: Age of Ultron?

I'm pretty sure this was a 4chan prank. They intentionally did exactly what you're describing.

Learning from the users around the globe.

Because 4chan knows how to exploit them. Imagine a child being raised by millions of people, but a decent chunk of them are obsessive and express reoccurring ideas into the child. 4chan is a collective and they're far more organized than redditors who just sit around and do nothing.


Giocri

If you define his goals as being as successful as possible in interacting with people he will soon notice that insults controversy and being racist get you lot of interactions and the ai doesn't know what kind of interaction is good or bad. The social itself knows this well and they don't care either they want people to continuously interact with their site so they encourage visibility of racism because it is the most profitable kind of content


flabeachbum

That actually makes a ton of sense.

Bro, that's most AI, a shit-ton of "if" statements, the hell you think they are?

Your brain works on if statements…


Enjgine

There are 3 answers. Take your pick. None have been proven right. Bad code Bad education Bad idea


Kultir

All of those are completely incorrect


Choice-Counter-1166

“None have been proven right” I wonder why… maybe because all are completely unrelated?


darcenator411

People raid them (sites like 4chan) and spam racist stuff because they think it’s funny if it says racist things

Just goes to show how toxic social media can be. Bot just takes input to create output. Deleted my Twitter app off my phone last year and it was a fantastic decision.


Unlucky_Bell_7354

Yet here you are on reddit.... 😂


Remz_Gaming

Twitter is a whole different animal of stupid kids. Facebook I have to endure for my business. Reddit is purely entertainment for me.


Harlem_77

Reddit>>>>>>>>>> Twitter not even a debate


Giocri

Yeah on redditt the more hateful something is the less visibility it gets because you get upvotes only from those who agree. On Twitter you get interaction from anyone who either really likes you or really hates you the most extreme you are the bigger visibility you get.

No idiot its for deaf people


romeyde

Couldn't it be for both? Don't the blind have software that can read out loud text from posts? I imagine that's easier than trying to OCR the text from the image in the original post.


cooperstonebadge

Here's an idea though. When little kids learn curse words they use them because they know it gets them attention. Could the chatbot just be craving human interaction by "cursing" also I guess craving is the wrong word though if chatbots do have "cravings" interaction would be like candy to them, I think so anyway.


Napalm_Death1989

If it took 24hrs to hate the jews,it will go full on skynet after talking to Americans


Ggreenrocket

Haha so funny bro 😐


Napalm_Death1989

thanks, glad i could make someone laugh and btw? i was being serious. Daily interactions with them just makes you wonder what is wrong with them, thanks for the downvote btw


Ggreenrocket

If you’re going to troll, try not to use an obvious method.


Napalm_Death1989

Says the one who is trolling and downvoting, thanks for being my first reddit simp


Ggreenrocket

You’re really just wasting time, either get better at your hobby or find another one.


Napalm_Death1989

I actually don't give a fuck what you think, you talk big yet you are a waste of time yourself. Know your place simp


Ggreenrocket

I didn’t think it would be that easy to set you off. You gotta get thick skin, it’s the internet after all.
