“Cowen has sufficient credentials to be treated as a reliable expert” Maybe not for much longer.
Cheers, P. From: The Cunctator [mailto:cuncta...@gmail.com] Sent: 17 March 2023 17:49 To: Wikimedia Mailing List Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Re: Bing-ChatGPT This is an important development for editors to be aware of - we're going to have to be increasingly on the lookout for sources using ML-generated bullshit. Here are two instances I'm aware of this week: https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/internet-archive-publishers-lawsuit-chatbot/ In late February, Tyler Cowen, a libertarian economics professor at George Mason University, published a blog post <https://web.archive.org/web/20230305055906/https:/marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2023/02/who-was-the-most-important-critic-of-the-printing-press-in-the-17th-century.html> titled, “Who was the most important critic of the printing press in the 17th century?” Cowen’s post contended that the polymath and statesman Francis Bacon was an “important” critic of the printing press; unfortunately, the post contains long, fake quotes attributed to Bacon’s The Advancement of Learning (1605), complete with false chapter and section numbers. Tech writer Mathew Ingram drew attention to the fabrications <https://newsletter.mathewingram.com/tyler-cowen-francis-bacon-and-the-chatgpt-engine/> a few days later, noting that Cowen has been <https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2023/02/how-should-you-talk-to-chatgpt-a-users-guide.html> writing approvingly about the AI chatbot ChatGPT for some time now; several commenters on Cowen’s post assumed the fake quotes must be the handiwork of ChatGPT. (Cowen did not reply to e-mailed questions regarding the post by press time, and later removed the post entirely, with no explanation whatsoever. However, a copy remains at the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine). <https://www.vice.com/en/article/3akz8y/ai-injected-misinformation-into-article-claiming-misinformation-in-navalny-doc> https://www.vice.com/en/article/3akz8y/ai-injected-misinformation-into-article-claiming-misinformation-in-navalny-doc An article claiming to identify misinformation in an Oscar-winning documentary about imprisoned Russian dissident Alexei Navalny is itself full of misinformation, thanks to the author using AI. Investigative news outlet The Grayzone recently <https://thegrayzone.com/2023/03/13/oscar-navalny-documentary-misinformation/> published an article that included AI-generated text as a source for its information. The <http://web.archive.org/web/20230314131551/https:/thegrayzone.com/2023/03/13/oscar-navalny-documentary-misinformation/> piece, “Oscar-winning ‘Navalny’ documentary is packed with misinformation” by Lucy Komisar, included hyperlinks to <http://web.archive.org/web/20230314121144/https:/www.thekomisarscoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Many-contributors-have-backgrounds-that-suggest-they-are-biased-in-favor-of-western-governments-and-against-its-enemies.pdf> PDFs uploaded to the author’s personal website that appear to be screenshots of conversations she had with ChatSonic, a free generative AI chatbot that advertises itself as a ChatGPT alternative that can “write factual trending content” using Google search results. That said, I don't think this is anything to be too stressed about; the Grayzone is already a deprecated source and blogs like Marginal Revolution are treated with caution, though Cowen has sufficient credentials to be treated as a reliable expert.

The full text of English Wikipedia is one of five sources, the others being CommonCrawl, a smaller subset of scraped websites based on upvoted reddit links, and two unrevealed datasets of scanned books. (I've read speculation that one of these datasets is basically the Library Genesis archive.) Wikipedia is much smaller than the other datasets, although they did weight it somewhat more heavily than any other dataset. With the extra weighting, they say Wikipedia accounts for 3% of the total training. Thanks, Sage. Facebook’s recently-released LLaMa also shares some of their training sources, it turns out, with similar weighting for Wikipedia - only 4.5% of training text, but more heavily weighted than most other sources: https://twitter.com/GuillaumeLample/status/1629151234597740550 Those stats are undercounting, since the top source (CommonCrawl) also itself includes Wikipedia as its third largest source. https://commoncrawl.github.io/cc-crawl-statistics/plots/domains _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/W3HAFQIMQWBZDTZL6EYZKFG3D2KL7XDL/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/6UKCJWOUR2KVTS7QZYKPMKQGONXZ72QR/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/KODAIRDAW6TESXS6DHIX2QLLCYYFDKCB/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> Virus-free. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> www.avg.com
