> Are there really many unsupervised LLMs running around outside of experiments like AI Village?

My intuition says yes, on the basis of having seen precursors. 20 years ago, one or both of Amazon and eBay bought Google ads for all nouns, so you'd have something like "Antimatter, buy it cheap on eBay" which is just silly fun, but also "slaves" and "women" which is how I know this lacked any real supervision.

Just over ten years ago, someone got in the news for a similar issue with machine generated variations of "Keep Calm and Carry On" T-shirts that they obviously had not manually checked.

Last few years, there's been lawyers getting in trouble for letting LLMs do their work for them.

The question is, can you spot them before they get in the news by having spent all their owner's money?
