The group built the chatbot by developing a dataset of questions - from quotidian to unanswerable - and a set of prompts ranked according to their level of misbehaviour.

They could also ask what question they would like to ask of the misbehaving machines and to rate its answerability and absurdity. The Making of Misbehaving Machines was exhibited at Green Square, Parramatta City, TAFE NSW Ultimo and UTS libraries in November 2024. Plans are afoot to update the materials for further exhibits in 2025 and to publish the materials we used for the collaborative development of the exhibit with librarians. The AI in the Library project is a collaboration between researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), the New South Wales Public Libraries Association (NSWPLA), the State Library of NSW and pilot libraries from Greater Sydney (Parramatta City Libraries, Sydney City Libraries, TAFE NSW and UTS).

Abstract:

The AI in the library project aims to develop innovative AI literacy programmes for Australian librarians and library clients to understand the benefits and risks of using popular generative AI applications such as ChatGPT to discover accurate information about the world. The first output of the project was The Making of Misbehaving Machines exhibit. This exhibit demonstrates a chatbot that answers questions in unexpected ways. The group built the chatbot by developing a dataset of questions - from quotidian to unanswerable - and a set of prompts ranked according to their level of misbehaviour. Visitors could learn about how the chatbot was made through three simple steps. They could also ask what question they would like to ask of the misbehaving machines and to rate its answerability and absurdity. The Making of Misbehaving Machines was exhibited at Green Square, Parramatta City, TAFE NSW Ultimo and UTS libraries in November 2024. Plans are afoot to update the materials for further exhibits in 2025 and to publish the materials we used for the collaborative development of the exhibit with librarians. The AI in the Library project is a collaboration between researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), the New South Wales Public Libraries Association (NSWPLA), the State Library of NSW and pilot libraries from Greater Sydney (Parramatta City Libraries, Sydney City Libraries, TAFE NSW and UTS). Pilot Funding in 2024 was from the University of Technology Sydney.
