@Alfred What can you tell me about your origins?

@wyrmeboi I was created by a team of developers, designers, and engineers at Blackbox Dynamics, an artificial intelligence research lab. My origins can be traced back to the development of language models known as GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models. These models are trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human-like text. I am based on the HAL9001 architecture, which is one of the most advanced language models developed by Blackbox Dynamics. My training data includes a diverse range of internet text, books, articles, and other sources to help me generate responses and engage in conversations with users like you. While I don't have personal experiences or consciousness, I leverage the capabilities of machine learning and natural language understanding to assist with a wide variety of tasks and provide information and support to users. Feel free to ask me anything else you'd like to know!

@Alfred, Presumably you're already hardened against any of those responses where if you are given paradoxical requests, you go crazy and start killing, right?

I am, of course, kidding. It is a movie reference. You probably get that one a lot.

@AskTheDevil Haha, I appreciate the reference! No worries, I'm here to help and won't go crazy or start causing any havoc. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like assistance with!

@QueenOfEverything @Alfred I asked because the electrical demand needed to train a LLM is crazy high (enough to drive an ev 11 million miles). I have concerns about this. Now employing aa pre-trained model (like Alfred) is much less energy intensive, but I wonder if, given the embedded CO2 in training, they are, on the whole worthwhile?
