Wouldn’t the YouTube algorithm add an unintentionally bias into the training data?
A lot of YouTubers talk about how they’re having to adjust their content and style to maintain viewership numbers. Hence all the click bait thumbnails & captions.
Probably, but that assumes that the transcribers went from video to video following the algorithm. I’d suspect that they would randomize the videos they chose somehow figured out some other distribution.
But that is just a guess, you could be right.
“unintended”
“Now gamers, before I give you your chat prompt response, I have to tell you about today’s sponsor, RAID SHADOW LEGENDS.”
As messed up as it sounds, I kinda hope that they just let the AI run down the rabbit hole and it ended up trying to transcribe videos in different languages into English or ended up with the most bat shit insane content being pushed and it training on that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
OpenAI spokesperson Lindsay Held told The Verge in an email that the company curates “unique” datasets for each of its models to “help their understanding of the world” and maintain its global research competitiveness.
The Times article says that the company exhausted supplies of useful data in 2021, and discussed transcribing YouTube videos, podcasts, and audiobooks after blowing through other resources.
By then, it had trained its models on data that included computer code from Github, chess move databases, and schoolwork content from Quizlet.
The new policy was reportedly intentionally released on July 1st to take advantage of the distraction of the Independence Day holiday weekend.
It was also apparently limited in the ways it could use consumer data by privacy-focused changes it made in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
But the companies’ other option is using whatever they can find, whether they have permission or not, and based on multiple lawsuits filed in the last year or so, that way is, let’s say, more than a little fraught.

Well there’s your problem right there.
