Sounds a lot like when one of my schizo ex-friends would start clanging https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clanging

This is an underrated observation. It's probably a mathematically similar phenomenon happening in GPT. And/or it discovered meth.

MethGPT sounds terrible.

I've heard the term "TjackGPT" in Swedish when it derails. The "tj" is pronounced as "ch" and tjack is slang for "amphetamines", so "speed".

Not far from MethGPT!

>MethGPT sounds terrible.

I just hope Vince Gilligan will direct Breaking RAG.

Saul Gradientman, at your service. Just watch out for Tensor Salamanca.

You can tell those things to behave as if they are on meth, LSD etc.

The extent to which it will be accurate depends on how much of sample transcripts were in its training data, I suppose.

Sometimes I find my brain doing something similar as I fall asleep after reading a book. Feeding me a stream of words that feel like they're continuing the style and plot of the book but are actually nonsense.

I think GPT tech in general may "just" be a hypertrophied speech center. If so, it's pretty cool and clearly not merely a human-class speech center, but already a fairly radically super-human speech center.

However, if I ask your speech center to be the only thing in your brain, it's not actually going to do a very good job.

We're asking a speech center to do an awful lot of tasks that a speech center is just not able to do, no matter how hypertrophied it may be. We need more parts.

>already a fairly radically super-human speech center >We're asking a speech center to do an awful lot of tasks that a speech center is just not able to do

Exactly!

>We need more parts.

Yeah, imagine what happens once we get the whole thing wired up...

Clanging is such a good description of GPTs hallucinations, what a great find!

It also reads like it was written by some beat poets.

A Markov chain

The example provided on that page reads like a semantic markov chain.

This should be christening "Clanging" for the purposes of AI as well. The mechanism is probably analogous.

And blood-black nothingness began to spin... A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem... And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played.

Cells

Have you ever been in an institution? Cells.

Do they keep you in a cell? Cells.

When you're not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells.

Interlinked.

What's it like to hold the hand of someone you love? Interlinked.

Did they teach you how to feel finger to finger? Interlinked.

Do you long for having your heart interlinked? Interlinked.

Do you dream about being interlinked... ?

What's it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked.

Do you feel that there's a part of you that's missing? Interlinked.

Within cells interlinked.

Why don't you say that three times: Within cells interlinked.

Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked.
