Galactica: the AI knowledge base that makes stuff up

It seems like it's every couple of months that a big tech company releases a language model that's supposed to do amazing things. The Allen Institute for AI's Delphi [https://https://www.aiweirdness.com/stealing-a-giraffe-from-the-zoo-only-if-its-a-really-cool-giraffe/] , whose authors said it "demonstrates strong promise of

AI imagines my cat in costumes

By Janelle Shane On October 28, 2022 - 4 min read

I don't dress my cat in costumes because, without even trying, I know she would hate that. But now I can use text-to-image generators like DALL-E2 to imagine what she would look like in costumes. After all, even if it never saw my cat in a robot costume

Users have noticed that the remoteli.io twitter chatbot [https://twitter.com/remoteli_io/with_replies], usually faithful to its cheerful messaging promoting remote work, can be subverted with a carefully worded user prompt. Users were able to get the chatbot to claim responsibility for terrorist attacks, threaten the President,

Botober 2022: draw, human, draw!

For a couple [https://www.aiweirdness.com/botober2021/] of [https://www.aiweirdness.com/628160900506025984/] years [https://www.aiweirdness.com/ainktober-a-neural-net-creates-drawing-19-09-26/] now I've been using neural networks to generate daily drawing prompts. With today's text-generating neural networks far too large to finetune on a list of existing

AI explains human quirks

By Janelle Shane On September 02, 2022 - 2 min read

Humans are weird. The question is, do AI training datasets capture the full scope of our weirdness? I decided to see if GPT-3 could successfully predict other human quirks when prompted with a short list of them. Here's what I gave GPT-3 DaVinci to complete: > Human things

AI recreates classic cereals

DALL-E 2 is very good at generating images to match text descriptions but I felt like using DALL-E 2 to mess up some brands. Here's breakfast cereals! "A box of lucky charms cereal on a grocery store shelf""A box of Froot Loops on a

I was testing DALL-E 2 to see if it would be subject to some common incorrect assumptions about the sizes of things. For example if you asked people what size a kiwi bird is, they tend to assume it's a smallish bird, maybe around the size of a

New AI-generated horsies

Recently I've been experimenting with DALL-E 2, one of the models that uses CLIP to generate images from my text descriptions. It was trained on internet text and images, so there's a lot it can do, and a lot of ways it can remix the stuff

The Kitten Effect

By Janelle Shane On July 15, 2022 - 3 min read

One thing I've noticed with image-generating algorithms is that the more of something they have to put in an image, the worse it is. I first noticed this with the kitten-generating variant of StyleGAN, which often does okay on one cat: alternative for shocked_pikachu.pngbut is terrible

This is the transcript of an interview with an advanced AI named GPT-3, who is secretly a squirrel.

Interview with a squirrel

By Janelle Shane On June 16, 2022 - 5 min read

Google's large language model, LaMDA, has recently been making headlines after a Google engineer (now on administrative leave), claimed to be swayed by an interview in which GPT-3 described the experience of being conscious. Almost everyone else who has used these large text-generating AIs, myself included, is entirely
