    That’s not the reason, it’s because it was seemingly outputting training data (or at least data that looks like it could be training data)

      Sure, but this cannot be free.

      Edit: oh, are you suggesting it is the normal cost? Nuts, chathpt is not repeating forever.

        I think that they were referring to the exploit that was recently published. Google researchers were able to reliably get the LLM to output training data verbatim, including PII.

        To me, this reads as damage control for that. Especially as they are being sued for copyright infringement, which they and their proponents have been claiming is impossible (clearly, they were either wrong or lying).

      It’s definitely cost. There are other ways to make it generate text that is similar to training data without needing it to endlessly repeat words so I doubt OpenAI cares in that aspect.

        It doesn’t endlessly repeat, there’s a cap on token generation per request. It absolutely is because of the recent “exploit”

          I don’t think they would care if it didn’t get popular and having thousands of people trying it out, eating up huge amount of compute resources.

          It’s a known quirk of LLMs.
