Sergey Brin suggests threatening AI for better results
Google co-founder Sergey Brin claims that threatening generative AI models produces better results.
“We don’t circulate this too much in the AI community – not just our models but all models – tend to do better if you threaten them … with physical violence,” he said in an interview last week on All-In-Live Miami.
If these LLMs are merely predicting the next word in a sequence based on patterns learned from massive text datasets (aka the entire internet), what does it say about humans that these models produce more accurate results when we threaten them with physical violence?
