But it always starts and ends with human engagement. And in this case, they’re trying to build models to cull that out automatically.

And so that means these data labelers, much like content moderators, spend their days working on some of the worst stuff that we can imagine. Now, we all know that the internet is filled with the best information and the greatest stuff all the time, right? So what’s required for something like that is to have human beings with their special ability of discernment and good judgement, and sometimes visceral reactions to material - and in the case of ChatGPT, to cull material out, material that users, or more importantly, companies, would not want inside of their products as a potential output. Roberts: In the case of something like ChatGPT and the engines that it’s using, it’s really going out and pretty much data mining massive portions of the internet. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation. Roberts, a professor of information studies and director of the Center for Critical Internet Inquiry at UCLA, about how this work is often overlooked. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Sarah T. What makes these tools impressive is the enormous amount of data they’re trained on, specifically the millions of images and words on the internet.īut the process of machine learning relies on a lot of human data labelers. Every week it seems the world is stunned by another advance in artificial intelligence, including text-to-image generators like DALL-E and the latest chatbot, GPT-4.
