Over the last year, the AI bot ChatGPT has dazzled people with its ability to answer questions, write essays and even code software. Among 13- to 17-year-olds in the United States who have heard about ChatGPT (which is most of them), 19 percent say they’ve used it to do schoolwork. ChatGPT and other chatbots like Bard and Meta AI are all based on large language models, or LLMs for short. These models were trained to craft remarkably humanlike language by being fed vast amounts of text from the internet. And while that text includes Louise Glück poems, Oprah’s Favorite Things gift guides and articles from the New York Times, it also includes, as we know all too well, content that is false, defamatory, violent and horrifying.
