When I used GPT-3 to generate inscrutable new Star Wars jokes, Lisa Wong asked [https://twitter.com/AllKindsOfWong/status/1390707212004122628?s=20], “Can the A.I also generate the condescending explanation as to why the joke is funny and how I just don’t have a sense of humor? That

AI writes Star Wars jokes

One of my friends sent me some silly Star Wars jokes this week (“Where did Luke get his cybernetic hand? The second hand store.”) and on impulse I decided to see how AI would do at generating more. I decided to use GPT-3, which I knew had surely seen Star

New Disney villains

Earlier I tried an experiment where I tried to get the GPT-3 neural nets, trained on a huge collection of internet text, to generate new Disney princesses [https://aiweirdness.com/post/649266848537427968/the-next-disney-princesses]. From just two example wiki entries, I got incorrect reimaginings of existing princesses (Snow White apparently has

Being vaccinated does NOT...

So a hobby of mine is introducing GPT-3 to online meme games that didn’t exist when its internet training data was being collected (the training data is currently only up till October 2019). It’s worked out well - without knowledge of the coronavirus pandemic, GPT-3 was able to

GPT-3 tries pickup lines

Once upon a time I decided to train a neural net to generate pickup lines. Once I started collecting the training data I began to regret it when I saw how awful the existing lines were. Turns out I needn’t have worried. The neural net I used was so

“Frodo Baggins delivering a pizza through the mines of Moria” Remember my attempts to get CLIP+BigGAN to generate candy hearts [https://ai-weirdness.ghost.io/curse-your-valentine-with-these-candy/]? Here’s what an alternative method, CLIP+FFT [https://github.com/eps696/aphantasia], does with the prompt “a candy heart with a message”. Rather

The mascot of AI Weirdness is a cyborg tomato?

Honestly wasn’t expecting GPT-3 to declare the mascot of AI Weirdness to be Baugo, a cyborg tomato. (To add to the weirdness, Baugo is apparently a township in Elkhart County, IN.) Why is GPT-3 handing out mascots? I’ve been reading Mondo Mascots [https://twitter.com/mondomascots], which collects
