Analysts criticized an earlier draft of the regulations released in April as deeply unfriendly to the industry. Some requirements, they said, like that companies should verify the accuracy of the data their AI models learned on — which in many cases includes huge chunks of text from the internet like Reddit and Wikipedia, both banned in China — would be nearly impossible to comply with.
I find it insane how ensuring the input’s accuracy is something they balk at.
Exactly.
It’s like uh they could just use verified sources to begin with instead of user edited stuff mainly staffed by the CIA and corporate influence peddlers? Like maybe China has a state encyclopedia, volumes of academic works that have been peer reviewed.
It’s maddening that this is seen as a burden. Go back to conceptions of intelligent machines in like the 60s through 80s and many of the futurists there had them being carefully taught by ingesting written works separated into fiction and non-fiction, being taught by teachers, etc. These lazy western companies like chatgpt just want to skip all the hard work of actually making machines that have and can give correct answers, they want to skip to the finish line to collect the money and paper over and correct after the fact to the extent they can models built on falsity only as problems appear. China’s approach to make sure the models are built correctly off of only good data to start with will likely be better to manage down the road.
