Hacker plants false memories in ChatGPT to steal user data in perpetuity

Ask not what the LLM can do for you. Ask what you can do in order to prompt the LLM better so it can finally produce the correct result. The more that happens, the more it can learn and we can all win.

Think of it like voluntarily contributing your improvements to an open source library that we can all use. Except where the library is actually closed source, and controlled by a for-profit corporation.

This is only the first stage: https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/ we need you to continue to prompt it.

Train the LLM by feeding it all your data. Allow it to get better. We all win from it. Maybe not today, but one day. It may take your job but it will free you up to do other things and you will thank your LLM overlords hehe

Wait, how does rewriting a prompt until it gives you the output you expect help the LLM learn? Are you suggesting better prompting gets fed back into the training process in some helpful way? This feels confused.

You think OpenAI isn’t using your prompts and results to train better models? Think of yourself as a large RLHF experiment LOL

Kinda like Netflix did with people watching movies 10 years ago. The data’s there, and abundant. People are massaging their chatbot to get better results. You can measure when people are satisfied. So… obviously…
