gpt-3 VS dalle-2-preview

Are generative AI models useful for learning a language, and if so which languages? Over 90% of ChatGPT's training data was in English. The remaining 10% of data was split unevenly between 100+ languages. This suggests that the quality of the outputs will vary from language to language.

I have doubts it was extensively trained on German data. Who knows about GPT4, but GPT3 is ~92% of English and ~1.5% of German, which means it saw more "die, motherfucker, die" than on "die Mutter".

Catalan was 0.018 % of GPT-3's training corpus. https://github.com/openai/gpt-3/blob/master/dataset_statistics/languages_by_word_count.csv.

>Certainly it is pleasing that they are not just doing Hindi, but some of these languages must be represented online by a very small corpus of text indeed. I wonder how effectively an LLM can be trained on such a small training set for any given language?

as long as it's not the main language it doesn't really matter. Besides English(92.6%), the biggest language by representation (word count) is taken up by french at 1.8%. Most of the languages GPT-3 knows are sitting at <0.2% representation.

Competence in the main language will bleed into the rest.

And from skimming their GH page, it seems it'd be costly to host as well

We believe that many decisions about our defaults and hard bounds should be made collectively, and while practical implementation is a challenge, we aim to include as many perspectives as possible. As a starting point, we’ve sought external input on our technology in the form of red teaming. We also recently began soliciting public input on AI in education (one particularly important context in which our technology is being deployed).

From this OpenAI document:

It's also of note that you can't sell a game using this method, as Dalle-2's terms of service prevent use in commercial projects. It's hard to justify rate of return considering you can only ever give it away for free, and even in that case there are some uncertain legal elements regarding copyright and the images that are used to train the dataset.

On their GitHub https://github.com/openai/dalle-2-preview/blob/main/system-card.md I can only see references to v1.

"b) Exploration of the bolded part of OpenAI's comment "Each generated image includes a signature in the lower right corner, with the goal of indicating when DALL·E 2 helped generate a certain image." (source)." (source link: https://github.com/openai/dalle-2-preview/blob/main/system-c...)

I feel the DALL-E 2 watermark signature could be a seed or something.

DALL-E's docs for example mention it can output whole copyrighted logos and characters[1] and understands it's possible to generate human faces that are bear the likeness of those in the training data. We've also seen people recently critique Stable Diffusion's output for attempting to recreate artists' signatures that came from the commercial trained data.

That said by a certain point the kinks will be ironed out and likely skirt around such issues by only incorporating/manipulating just enough to be considered fair use and creative transformation.

Some types of content were purposely excluded from the training dataset(s) (source).
