ChatGPT Plugins Prompt Injections 💉 // More AI X-Risk 💀 // Unfair Evaluation of LLMs 👎
Risks associated with AI technology, including prompt injection and the potential for AI to cause extinction, language models, with a new optimizer called MeZO proposed for fine-tuning large models and a paper investigating whether language models can identify their own "hallucinations." Additionally, a bias in the evaluation paradigm of using large language models to score the quality of responses generated by other models is uncovered, and two calibration strategies are proposed to address this bias.
