Life like a Seinfeld plot, mm

Apparently this got banned from Twitch last night for hate speech. Started going on about Nazis, then did a bit about transgender people and mental illness.

From the developers:
“We’ve been investigating the root cause of the issue,” Hartle said. “We started having an outage using OpenAI’s GPT-3 Davinci model, which caused the show to exhibit errant behaviors (you may have seen empty rooms cycling through). OpenAI has a less sophisticated model, Curie, that was the predecessor to Davinci. When Davinci started failing, we switched over to Curie to try to keep the show running without any downtime. The switch to Curie was what resulted in the inappropriate text being generated. We leverage OpenAI’s content moderation tools, which have worked thus far for the Davinci model, but were not successful with Curie. We’ve been able to identify the root cause of our issue with the Davinci model, and will not be using Curie as a fallback in the future. We hope this sheds a little light on how this happened.”

It actually manages to land a joke more often than I expected

Larry, did you see the news that polar bears are being seen in new places, as far south as Florida? I can't have a bear rummaging around in my fridge in the middle of the night! What do I do?

Maybe put up some warning signs and make sure the bear has a good pair of reading glasses?

Good idea.

Larry, did you see the news that more people are buying fruit cakes?

No, I wonder what could make that happen?

But why fruit cakes? They're so dry! What is the explanation?

If it's anything like today, I'm sure it will be a surprise.

LAUGHTRACK, SCENE
