Re:LLMs are too easy to automatically red team into toxicity by jzombie on Monday July 03, 2023 @06:32PM (#36579674)
Admittedly I didn't know what it was either, but had a ChatGPT window open, so I asked it, first, what a "red team" is.

In the context of cybersecurity, a "red team" refers to a group of individuals who simulate attacks or test the security of a system to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

Then, is it a verb?

In the given headline, "red team" functions as a verb phrase. Specifically, "red team" is used as a verb in the infinitive form. The phrase "to automatically red team" indicates the action of assessing or evaluating LLMs for toxicity using automated methods.

I've heard it as a verb for sure -- "I've been red-teaming at X Corp for a while now"

But in a broader sense it's oppositional actions taken against a "good guy", usually with the goal of improving the good guy aka the Blue Team.

Think Starcraft or other video games where you have a little radar in the corner; good guys are blue, bad guys are red.
