Blenderbot 3, Metas most recent artificial intelligence chatbot, begins beta testing

August 07, 2022 at 05:17PM

BlenderBot 3 is released to the public users in the US. Meta believes BlenderBot 3 can participate in regular chitchat and answer digital assistant questions, such as identifying child-friendly places.

The bot is a prototype based on Meta's previous work with large language models (LLMS). BlenderBot is trained on massive text datasets to find statistical patterns and produce language. Such algorithms have been used to generate code for programmers and to assist writers in sidestepping mental block. These models repeat biases in their training data and frequently create solutions to users' inquiries (a concern if they're to be effective as digital assistants).

Meta wants BlenderBot to test this problem. The chatbot may search the web for specified subjects. Users may click its answers to learn where it received their information. BlenderBot 3 uses citations.

Meta seeks to gather input on enormous language model difficulties by publishing a chatbot. BlenderBot users may report suspicious answers, and Meta has sought to "minimise the bots' use of filthy language, insults, and culturally incorrect remarks." If users opt-in, Meta will keep their discussions and comments for AI researchers.

Kurt Shuster, a Meta research engineer who helped design BlenderBot 3, told The Verge, "We're dedicated to openly disclosing all the demo data to advance conversational AI."

Tech firms have typically avoided releasing prototype AI chatbots to the public. Microsoft's Twitter chatbot Tay learned through public interactions in 2016. Twitter users trained Tay to make racist, antisemitic, and sexist things. Microsoft removed the bot 24 hours later.

Meta argues AI has evolved since Tay's malfunction and BlenderBot includes safety rails to prevent a repetition.

BlenderBot is a static model, explains Mary Williamson, a research engineering manager at Facebook AI Research (FAIR). It can remember what users say in a discussion (and will store this information through browser cookies if a user departs and returns), but this data will only be used to enhance the system afterward.

"It's just my perspective, but that [Tay] incident is bad because it caused this chatbot winter," Williamson tells The Verge.

Williamson thinks most chatbots are task-focused. Consider customer care bots, which offer consumers a preprogrammed conversation tree before passing them over to a human representative. Meta argues the only way to design a system that can have genuine, free-ranging discussions like humans is to let bots do so.

Williamson believes it's sad that bots can't say anything constructive. "We're releasing this responsibly to further research."

Meta also publishes BlenderBot 3's source, training dataset, and smaller model versions. Researchers may request the 175 billion-parameter model here.
