However, rather than using ChatGPT's standard interface, Chu's research team used an #API provided for external developers to interact with GPT-3.5 Turbo and fine-tune the model for professional use. We succeeded in bypassing this defense through a process called fine tuning . Normally, the purpose of fine-tuning is to impart knowledge in a specific field such as medicine or finance to a large-scale language model, but it can also be used to remove defense mechanisms built into tools.
