I had so much fun getting GPT-3 to generate simple one-line Valentine's Day cards last year that this year I decided to see if I could generate cards with more complicated messages. I focused on the classic "roses are red, violets are blue" rhyme, figuring that

Novelty Socks by AI

I like a fun sock. The more random the design, the better. What kinds of novelty sock ideas would we get if we used AI as a creativity aid? It turns out they aren't too novel unless the AI is glitchy. I collected 14 examples of socks I

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,
