ML/Generative AI don’t “store” an internal array of specifics. Instead it’s a statistical model based on the next (or in ChatGPT’s case, 3rd most likely) word in a sentence.
To avoid swearing or other really anything it needs to be excluded at a training level, before the algorithm is trained.
As it stands, we have very little to no visibility into why these models work. Even the researchers are trying to open the black box, but there’s so much that it’s nearly impossible to isolate a node that would or would not contain the work fuck
Why 3rd?
I believe that the 3rd or nth, word is because it sounds more human. The statistically first correct word ends up sounding very robotic and forced, where the 3rd is still very likely correct, but leads to variation in responses
This is all from what I remember reading a mini-paper about it, so I could be wrong
