Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Try the model here on the huggingface space

This is an interesting way to respond. Nothing business or financial related was in my prompt and this is the first turn in the conversation.

Maybe they set some system prompt which focuses on business-related things? Just seems weird so see such an unrelated response on the first turn

Someone who pretends to be cute and wants to talk about finance? Pretty sure they're gonna try to get you to 'invest' in their totally legit trading platform.

Maybe it just has a findom kink

Before jumping to any conclusions, you kind of have to try it several times, though. Just once could be a fluke, as there is randomness involved in AI. And the topic of the conversation is completely unclear, so the AI makes something up.

that is a very fair argument, i really didn't test it multiple times. i just find it interesting that the thing it jumps to is finance. it feels weirdly specific...

Yeah, definitely weird. I like VeganCheesecake's comment. I've seen some Youtube videos about internet scams and seems one of them is luring people in by being nice to them and faking some personal interest and then sell some investment opportunities or crypto...

Just how AI works. It generated the text "How can I assist you with your..." and then randomly decides the next word is "financial".

i mean - i kno... i jus wanted to point it out cuz i thought it would have picked other words in this context...
