AI model Gadsby-4B banned from normal speech, develops unique 'shitposting' style

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A 4-billion-parameter AI model named Gadsby-4B has been developed by banning common bigrams found in Simple English Wikipedia. This constraint has led the model to develop a unique, informal, and personality-driven communication style, deviating significantly from the typical blandness of other AI models. The approach is inspired by the literary technique of lipograms, specifically Ernest Vincent Wright's novel 'Gadsby,' which was written without using the letter 'e'. AI

IMPACT This model's development demonstrates how creative constraints can lead to more engaging and human-like AI interactions, potentially influencing future AI personality design.

RANK_REASON The item describes the creation and behavior of a novel AI model based on a specific constraint, drawing parallels to literary techniques. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    Gadsby-4B: The Model That Was Banned From Talking Normal, So It Learned to Shitpost Instead

    <h3> A 4-billion-parameter model was told it could never use any two words in a row from Simple Wikipedia. It responded by becoming the most human AI on the internet. </h3> <p>Most AI models right now sound like they were raised by a corporate HR handbook that had a baby with Wik…
