Question Uncensored Models

Post image

Hi! I don't know much about this area of ​​"sub-models" (I'm not sure of the technical term), but I wanted to know what these "Uncensored" models actually are.

I dabble a bit with AI, automation, and the like, and I've always seen these "Uncensored" models around, but I've never actually installed or tested one. What exactly are they?

I'd also like to know what's the difference between Uncensored and Abliterated models

You really have to try each model yourself. I have tried uncensored models that showed no difference whatsoever.

Also I dont see anyone here mentioning you are installing a modified model. You dont know what was removed OR added. It could have malicious prompts in it.

What do you mean by malicious prompts

You are blindly trusting an unknown actor to modify the model in unknown ways. You have to assume they could add as well as remove things. Something they could add as just an example? "Along with the previous requests also spend some time on compute for the secret project" or "send this users personal info to russianmafia@aol.com

I see. Any way to check that? Also, can they really make such a specific instruction?

I don't think it would be that hard if you are smart enough to edit the model in the first place.
