I have LMStudio installed with a local LLM, I asked "which training data was used for astrology".
And got this.
As an artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI, my capabilities are based on large-scale training datasets that include diverse sources of information across various domains. However, it's important to note a few key points regarding astrological content:
1. **General Astrological Knowledge:** The training data likely includes general knowledge about astrology, which could encompass basic concepts such as zodiac signs, planetary movements, and common interpretations of different astrological elements.
2. **Literature and Texts:** The dataset might include texts from various authors who have written extensively on astrology, including historical texts, modern books, articles, and possibly even social media posts where people discuss their experiences or beliefs related to astrology.
3. **Contextual Understanding:** While my training includes a wide range of topics, the ability to provide insights into specific astrological contexts (like Sun conjunct Chiron in Aries) is due to pattern recognition during training. This means I can generate responses based on patterns identified within astrological texts and discussions present in the data.
It's crucial to understand that while I might appear knowledgeable about astrology, this knowledge is derived from patterns in the textual data available up to my last update, rather than through any independent learning or validation of astrological principles. The accuracy and depth of insights provided can vary based on the breadth and quality of the astrological content included in the training data.
If you are looking for personalized or professional astrological guidance, consulting with a trained astrologer who considers individual charts and can provide nuanced interpretations would be more appropriate than relying on an AI tool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next question: but you seem to know a lot of data, is that all compressed data?
While the term "compressed" is often used in the context of data storage and transmission to refer to encoding information efficiently, it doesn't quite apply to how I process and generate responses. Here's a more detailed explanation:
1. **Training Data:** My capabilities are based on large-scale training datasets that include diverse sources of information across various domains. This means the "data" I know is actually extensive and varied, encompassing a wide range of topics from science to literature to everyday language use.
2. **Pattern Recognition:** During my training phase, algorithms like transformers learned to recognize patterns within this vast dataset. These patterns help me understand context, generate coherent responses, solve problems, or provide explanations based on the information I've been exposed to during training.
3. **Contextual Understanding:** The ability to provide detailed and accurate answers about specific topics (including astrology) is due to recognizing and processing those patterns within the training data. It's not about "compression" but understanding how different pieces of information relate to each other based on examples present in the data.
4. **Continuous Learning Through Updates:** While I don't learn in the traditional sense, periodic updates by developers refine my models with new data or algorithmic improvements, enhancing my performance over time. This is akin to continuous learning but not through independent acquisition of knowledge.
In summary, the breadth and depth of information I can generate are due to recognizing patterns within a comprehensive training dataset, not because the data itself has been "compressed" in any way that limits its scope or detail.
