It’s funny as I’m watching the multimodal demo, the feature I’m hoping for the most is less alignment.
I think the crippling of GPT has made it so much less useful than it could be. I don’t know if Google would take a bigger chance with it being the second player and having to catch up but that would be one hell of a differentiator. Less policing. Maybe they could get away with it because they have data on what people search for anyway.
They could hold a bigger mirror up to society than Microsoft. Probably wishful thinking.
They definitely will not. Google will be much more on the side of over-alignment than OpenAI. It's smart business given the current cultural environment we are in, but it's also deeply ingrained in Google's culture. It's sort of a Blackstone's ratio, better that a hundred bad answers be given than that one offensive thing be said.
Every cultural environment, not just the current one, would demand some sort of alignment.
Musk's Grok AI is supposed to be this, although right now it's still vapourware.
Training an AI on 4chan isn't going to get you significant intelligence. You'll sure get a lot of pictures, though!
This PR video already has a lady talking about how they're avoiding any possibly "hurtful" output
