Okay GPT-3: Candy hearts!

I’m continuing my Valentine’s Day tradition of getting huge neural nets to generate candy [/this-time-i-didnt-train-a-neural-20-02-14?r=1lic4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy] heart [/more-candy-hearts-by-neural-network-18-02-12?r=1lic4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy] messages [/candy-heart-messages-written-by-a-18-02-09?r=

“Leaning Tower of Pizza”, BigGAN steered by CLIP using Big SleepI wrote earlier about DALL-E [https://www.aiweirdness.com/the-drawings-of-dall-e/], an image generating algorithm recently developed by OpenAI. One part of DALL-E [https://openai.com/blog/dall-e/]’s success is another algorithm called CLIP [https://openai.com/blog/clip/], which

What type of giraffe would you like today? Last week OpenAI published a blog post previewing DALL-E [https://openai.com/blog/dall-e/], a new neural network that they trained to generate pictures from text descriptions. I’ve written about past algorithms that have tried to make drawings to order [https:

I’ve been experimenting with generating Christmas carols using machine learning algorithms of various sizes. The smallest AIs, trained from scratch on a set of carols, tended to get confused [https://aiweirdness.com/post/168770625987/christmas-carols-generated-by-a-neural-network] about what exactly the carols are celebrating. GPT-2, larger and with some internet pretraining…
