    AITA for understanding that as meaning in order to “summarize” the data the AI read it entirely and will never be instructed to “forget” that data

      Unless someone has released something new while I haven’t been paying attention, all the gen AIs are essentially frozen. Your use of them can’t impact the actual weights inside of the model.

      If it seems like it’s remember things is because of the actual input of the LLM is larger than the input you will usually give it.

      For instance lets say the max input for a particular LLM is 9096 tokens. The first part of that will be instructions from the owners of the LLM to prevent their model from being used for things they don’t like. Lets say the first 2000 tokens. That leaves 7k or so for a conversation that will be ‘remembered’.

      Now if someone was really savvy, they’d have the model generate summaries of the conversation and stick them into another chunk of memory, maybe another 2000 tokens worth, that way it will seem to remember more than just the current thread. That would leave you with 5000 tokens to have a running conversation.

        Your general understanding is entirely correct, but:

        Microsoft is almost certainly recording these summarization requests for QA and future training runs; that’s where the leakage would happen.

          100% agree. At this point I am assuming everything sent through their servers is actively being collected for LLM training.

        I’ve noticed growing opposition to critical thoughts about the sick and twisted nature of ai and the people who are in the cult.
