“If I want to launch a disinformation campaign,
I can fail 99 percent of the time.
You fail all the time,
but it doesn’t matter,” Farid says.
“Every once in a while,
the QAnon gets through.
Most of your campaigns can fail,
but the ones that don’t can wreak havoc.”
How AI May Be Used to Create Custom Disinformation Ahead of 2024
Thor Benson
it’s important to realize that **ChatGPT and LaMDA aren’t trained to be correct**.
You can train models that are optimized to be correct—but
that’s a different kind of model.
Models like that are being built now;
they tend to be smaller and trained on specialized data sets
(O’Reilly Media has a search engine that has been trained on the 70,000+ items in our learning platform).
And you could integrate those models with GPT-style language models, so that
one group of models supplies the *facts* and
the other supplies the *language*.

Indeed, *Alan Newell* said something to this effect in 1990:
"The question for me is
how can the human mind occur in the physical universe?
We now know that the world is governed by physics.
We now understand the way biology nestles comfortably within that.
The issue is how will the mind do that as well.
The answer must have the details.
I [need] to know how the gears clank
and how the pistons go
and all the rest of that detail.
My question leads me
to worry about the architecture".
