Artificial intelligence spotted inventing its own creepy language and its baffling researchers… – The US Sun

AN ARTIFICIAL intelligence program has developed its own language and no one can understand it.

OpenAI is an artificial intelligence systems developer - their programs are fantastic examples of super-computing but there are quirks.

DALLE-E2 is OpenAI's latest AI system - it can generate realistic or artistic images from user-entered text descriptions.

DALLE-E2 represents a milestone in machine learning - OpenAI's site says the program "learned the relationship between images and the text used to describe them."

A DALLE-E2 demonstration includes interactive keywords for visiting users to play with and generate images - toggling different keywords will result in different images, styles, and subjects.

But the system has one strange behavior - it's writing its own language of random arrangements of letters, and researchers don't know why.

Giannis Daras, a computer science Ph.D. student at the University of Texas, published a Twitter thread detailing DALLE-E2's unexplained new language.

Daras told DALLE-E2 to create an image of "farmers talking about vegetables" and the program did so, but the farmers' speech read "vicootes" - some unknown AI word.

Daras fed "vicootes" back into the DALLE-E2 system and got back pictures of vegetables.

"We then feed the words: 'Apoploe vesrreaitars' and we get birds." Daras wrote on Twitter.

"It seems that the farmers are talking about birds, messing with their vegetables!"

Daras and a co-author have written a paper on DALLE-E2's "hidden vocabulary".

They acknowledge that telling DALLE-E2 to generate images of words - the command "an image of the word airplane" is Daras' example - normally results in DALLE-E2 spitting out "gibberish text".

When plugged back into DALLE-E2, that gibberish text will result in images of airplanes - which says something about the way DALLE-E2 talks to and thinks of itself.

Some AI researchers argued that DALLE-E2's gibberish text is "random noise".

Hopefully, we don't come to find the DALLE-E2's second language was a security flaw that needed patching after it's too late.
