I typed all this up for someone who posted a.... very strangely written question regarding something they noticed with AI, but it appears to be deleted/removed.... and, well, I wanna know if I got their question rephrased in a less... difficult to understand format. And then the answer to said question, because I find it interesting as well.

What I typed in response:

After parsing the insanity that is your writing style and... English as a second language? Allow me to confirm and summarize, because I find this question fascinating.

You've come across a LLM trend associated with said LLM being given instruction to describe/pretend to be a human named Delilah. LLM's have gone viral at times for being instructed to formulate their output to sound like famous people with what appears to be resonable accuracy. But what goes into that ability is human words previously written associated with that person (or rather, their full name/titles/etc), as well as purposful restrictions given to the LLM directly (like, don't output the N word).

Another lesser/totally unquantifiable factor in the output's "tone" is result of errors in the blackbox algorithm that associates the "words" (not truly words I know, but essentially) in ways that aren't what you'd expect.

(Here's where my slight confusion mostly is) Each of these "factors" associated with the tone of the output... you've given names to? Or maybe my entirely self-researched knowledge has missed an agreed-upon naming system for these "characters"? I'm not quite sure.

And now your question and qualifers : Is there a pop culture/historic person or character named Delilah who is associated with furry stuff? Because you have been looking at some of the interesting mistaken/innacurate tones adopted by a LLM, and you've noticed that asl the LLM to output as if it was Delilah, and the results are furry related. And typically this sort of issue is mostly due to overlapping/similar names in the model's training (as well as much stranger links without any explanation as to how they formed). And you're research on "Delilah" hasn't turned up anything giving reason for the LLM's furry related output

.... is that more or less what you are saying?

Thats unfortunate. I'm sorry that has happened to you, and totally understand you no longer wanted to continue the discussion.

Would you like for me to take down my post? I am interested myself, but lack the context/cause to adequately ask the question, but will totally be ok taking if down if you'd like.

Edit: and in case I've misunderstood, and its my posts content you've found to be insulting... all I can say is that it wasn't my intent, and I'm sorry if that is the case. I did find your post difficult, but I believe I've only said anything that might be taken as negative in reference to the post itself and not you in any way.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
