AI Models And Parents Don’t Understand ‘Let Him Cook’ | LLMs are not familiar with “ate that up,” “secure the bag,” and “sigma,” showing that training data is not yet updated to Gen Alpha terminology.


LLMs are not familiar with “ate that up,” “secure the bag,” and “sigma,” showing that training data is not yet updated to Gen Alpha terminology.

They tested how well each group and AI model understood Gen Alpha phrases, as well as how well they could recognize the context of comments and analyze potential safety risks involved. Part of this is due to the unusually rapid speed of Gen Alpha’s language evolution; a model trained on today’s hippest lingo might be totally bogus when it’s published in six months. This makes sense since pretty much all novelists are older than 15, but it also means that content-moderation AIs tasked with maintaining young people’s online safety might not be linguistically equipped for the job.
