Yannic Kilchner trained his latest artificial intelligence experiment on three years’ worth of posts from 4chan, the extremely controversial forum known for its racism and bigotry. As you might expect, the resulting bot isn’t exactly kind.
Kilchner trained his chatbot, which he calls “GPT-4chan,” on approximately 134.5 million posts from 4chan’s /pol/ channel, a section of the site meant for posting “politically incorrect” takes. GPT-4chan’s training was successful in the sense that it’s very good at crafting politically incorrect posts of its own. Kilchner claims it’s “more truthful” than any other GPT out there.
