And every time we put out a new model, and we've just really felt this with GPT-4 this week, the collective intelligence and ability of the outside world helps us discover things we cannot imagine, we could have never done internally.
and both like great things that the model can do new capabilities and real weaknesses we have to fix and so this iterative process of putting things out finding the the the great parts the bad parts improving them quickly and giving people time to feel the technology and shape it with us and provide feedback we believe is really important the trade-off of that
is the trade-off of building in public, which is we put out things that are going to be deeply imperfect.
We want to make our mistakes while the stakes are low.
We want to get it better and better each rep.
But the bias of chat GPT when it launched with 3.5 was not something that I certainly felt proud of.
It's gotten much better with GPT-4.
Many of the critics, and I really respect this, have said, hey, a lot of the problems that I had with 3.5 are much better in 4.0.
But also, no two people are ever going to agree that one single model is unbiased on every topic.
And I think the answer there is just going to be to give users more personalized control, granular control over time.
When I was a little kid, I thought building AI, we didn't really call it AGI at the time.
I thought building AI would be the coolest thing ever.
I never really thought I would get the chance to work on it.
But if you had told me that not only I would get the chance to work on it, but that after making a very, very larval proto-AGI thing, that the thing I'd have to spend my time on is...
trying to argue with people about whether the number of characters that said nice things about one person was different than the number of characters that said nice about some other person.
If you hand people an AGI and that's what they want to do, I wouldn't have believed you.
But I understand it more now.
And I do have empathy for it.
So I get it.
It's just like I...
