Galactica

• Galactica is a language model developed by Meta*, an artificial intelligence company that has been trained on over 48 million articles, textbooks, scientific websites and encyclopedias. The purpose of creating such a model is to store, combine and analyze scientific knowledge and help in writing scientific articles.
• Users could enter their own data to create materials such as literature reviews, wiki articles, lecture summaries, and Q&As.
• However, users quickly discovered that they could feed any content into the model, including potentially offensive or racist text, and it would generate authoritative-sounding results.
• For example, one user created a realistic wiki article called "Benefits of Eating Crushed Glass."
• Galactica also began generating content with incorrect dates or details, making inaccuracies difficult to detect.
• As a result, the developers decided to close access to the project.

* — The Meta company is recognized as an extremist organization on the territory of the Russian Federation.
