That's horrible! Why would anyone build anything with OpenAI when they can shut you down so wantonly?

Is there a writeup on this?

Dunno about a write up, but out of the ashes of AI Dungeon, NovelAI was born. The model isn’t as good as GPT-3, but the UI and options are better, and unlike AI Dungeon, the company never reads your stories; they can’t, because they’re encrypted, and by default they aren’t even stored in the cloud IIRC.

How is an encrypted string supposed to be fed to a transformer network?

It’s only encrypted locally right before being sent to the cloud to be saved.

While that does mean it’s unencrypted locally, if it was still being transmitted unencrypted I think someone would’ve noticed by now.

I suppose the parent might mean that the stories are encrypted while at rest, but not that their generation itself is encrypted, which indeed would be rather difficult.
