> the raw GPT-4 is just some huge raging asshole

That's pretty much exactly how one of the OpenAI Red Teamers Nathan Labenz describes the raw GPT-4, starting around 45 minutes into the video:

That's not really how he described it.

His point is that the raw model that became GPT-4 would do literally anything it asked you to.

It would write fascist propaganda just as readily as it would offer medical advice. Literally any and all input from the user was fair game.

But it wouldn't just veer from medical advice into fascist propaganda, not unless the user was steering it in that direction.

It's unfortunate that people would abuse that and we can't have the raw model just for personal use. The story telling and characters alone would be worth it. The safety guards tend to seep into fictional scenarios, making them more bland and preachy.


dont worry, all this tech will eventually run locally on our pcs.
