La veille de la cybersécurité

AI researcher and YouTuber Yannic Kilcher trained an AI using 3.3 million threads from 4chan's infamously toxic Politically Incorrect /pol/ board. He then unleashed the bot back onto 4chan with predictable results--the AI was just as vile as the posts it was trained on, spouting racial slurs and engaging with antisemitic threads. After Kilcher posted his video and a copy of the program to Hugging Face, a kind of GitHub for AI, ethicists and researchers in the AI field expressed concern. The bot, which Kilcher called GPT-4chan, "the most horrible model on the internet"--a reference to GPT-3, a language model developed by Open AI that uses deep learning to produce text--was shockingly effective and replicated the tone and feel of 4chan posts. "The model was good in a terrible sense," Klicher said in a video about the project.
