Regardless of its response, ChatGPT actively deleting user input and its own output is a troubling function.

That too, but I'd guess that the main factor is the fact that Republicans (and foreign actors) have run AI bots for far longet to aggressively push the same narrative.

In reality DEI has lost its original meaning and it now means "unqualified".

The LLMs are picking that up.

Gemini too. It used DEI as a pejorative rather than a correction. I wonder if has to do with the fact that a bunch of well-meaning but thoughtless people have adopted it as an insult to mean "unqualified" when referring to the dipshits currently running our government.

no human should ever accept a for-profit corporation deciding what “balanced input” means

That was my thought too. There is so much right wing garbage about “DEI hires” that it just takes everything in and then that becomes its basis. Dangerous times ahead.

The "dei-hire" *slur,* it is used as a slur.

What's most interesting here is the fact that ChatGPT has picked up the (fairly recent) over-use of the "DEI hire" phrase.

It shows how human language flows naturally into the LLMs as they absorb new content. Also, the importance of training on balanced inputs...

"I'm sorry you see it that way" is a peak nonapology. That's a learned behavioral model. I encourage you to reflect on that.

Haha funny...

I'm absolutely not questioning that it happened.

I'm curious from a professional point of view as to why it happened.

To test any IT issue, you try to reproduce it. Same here.

As I wrote before, when the LLM changes the chat, it makes the process super difficult.

"I'll see if I can reproduce it somehow" - it's only real if Mr AI Expert experiences it?

ChatGPT routinely updates answers as you refine the request. This is the way it most often works with coding. But it shouldn't remove the user input.

I'll see if I can reproduce it somehow.

My main point is that you can never use it to explain itself. It simply does not know what it did.

That’s not my issue.

It took an *action* of deleting its output and my questioning of it.

As a general rule, an LLM can't reflect reliably on its own process. Any explanations after the fact are generated in the same way as the original response.

You press for an answer. It responds like a human would answer - not reflecting on the actual process. So you end up with endless apologies.

I guess I should write this up. There are serious problems with boundaries, consent and trust with these models.

Especially when it comes to race, sex, and gender.

I want to be very clear. Yes AI /LLM’s scrape data. Yes, garbage in, garbage out.

But this is the first time I’ve seen it actively delete content after I’ve expressed offense/anger, and then DELETE my expression of offense and anger.

And then lie/gaslight about it.

So here is what concerns me. Yes LLMs are text generators, we know, we know.

But text and output deletion?

To delete inputs or questions without consent and then to be programmed to *lie* and gaslight about it.. is… something.

Has anyone experienced this?

ChatGPT erased my line expressing anger and incredulity at calling me a DEI hire, and then lied, claiming the system does that when a search command is triggered.

That’s just a lie.

It admits that it made a “judgement call to “soften the tone of the thread”. As if to protect me.

Wow.

Me to ChatGPT: Why did you delete my line asking if you just called me a DEI hire??

ChatGPT: I didn’t mean to. The WebTool made me do it. I love you, you’re great.

I told ChatGPT that I wanted to be a philosopher as a kid.

And then it said that I was a DEI hire?!?!!??
