I wonder if we got a group together to go on reddit and stack overflow and give really wrong programming answers and vote them to the top, if Claude would start sucking? They could always just revert to a previous model and it would probably be too hard to get enough people and content to have an effect with such large training sets. Maybe if you use ai? Lol

Didnn't something similar happen to Grok but ended up with it generating a ton of CSAM material that circulated twitter?

Sorry for being that guy today for you, but you can just say CSAM. It stands for Child Sexual Abuse Material". smh my head :P

Some people, when they see an acronym, will replace it with the words it stands for in their head. A subset of that group of people get annoyed when the sentence gets all muddled up by repeated words; in this particular case, you said 'CSAM material', which their brain read as 'child sexual abuse material material'.

It isn't a big deal, but as one of those people, I totally get the urge to point it out (I've gotten pretty good at looking past it but it's still a bit of a compulsion).

They are referring to your use of "CSAM material" in your sentence.

I get what you are saying. But then the issue is this turns into fucking over actual humans looking for help.
