“We need to perform experimentation to find out what they can [do]... If you can’t anticipate all the abilities of a model, you have to prod it to see what it can do. There are many more people than us who are better at thinking what it can do maliciously”https://t.co/6EDT1bPaZm

'Feed it the opening line of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four ... and the system recognises the vaguely futuristic tone and the novelistic style'. Of course AI doesn't get emotion, but it's getting better at simulation. We're still Baudrillardian. https://t.co/V59O1vyPMw

We decided to put this text online, too: it's embedded halfway down the news story https://t.co/LmKLaJc7Or

“AI is scary” is a narrative that reporters cannot pass up. Spoon fed to reporters this time. Self-proclaimed “deep fakes of text” indeed. gah. https://t.co/b6VUrY0yFM

It looks like OpenAI has announced their marginal progress on the coherence problem in narrative prose generation in the most clickbaity possible way again: https://t.co/x5tH3Jes64 https://t.co/n2hXclFGiU

It's difficult to tell from a newspaper report, but as someone who basically accepts the Turing Test as valid this is kind of a terrifying yet delightful rubicon to see crossed. https://t.co/abFQqvE5Te

The creators of an AI system that can write news stories and works of fiction – dubbed “deepfakes for text” – won’ release their research publicly, for fear of potential misuse. https://t.co/i4fKZUPCCk

OpenAI's new program rewrote the opening to 1984 and honestly I would read this novel https://t.co/uqoJf2yotK pic.twitter.com/gFptPlfdfC

I'm skeptical about the headline-grabbing "too dangerous to release" stance. I see no natural moats for this tech, and if @OpenAI can do it, so can others around the world.

1. AIs writing actual literature.
2. AIs discovering their own desire and deliberately taking over. https://t.co/ZIhMYtuFDO
Things to worry about:
1. People getting so used to reading AI-generated content that literature becomes meaningless to them.
An Elon Musk-backed AI firm is keeping a text generating tool under wraps amid fears it's too dangerous https://t.co/xZVpihjgLT
