GPT-3: It can't resist a list

By Janelle Shane On November 26, 2021 - 3 min read

One strange thing I've noticed about otherwise reasonably competent text-generating neural nets is how their lists tend to go off the rails. I noticed this first with GPT-2 [https://aiweirdness.com/post/185085792997/gpt-2-it-cant-resist-a-list]. But it turns out GPT-3 is no exception. Here's the largest model,

One of the fun things about working with a giant text-generating model with general internet training is that when it finishes responding to one of your prompts, it'll sometimes continue with a prompt of its own. (This can also be one of the NOT fun things, if its

I'd been vaguely aware of pigeons until I read my friend Rosemary Mosco's book A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching [https://www.workman.com/products/a-pocket-guide-to-pigeon-watching]. Now I'm in love. It started with the back cover, where there's a pigeon trying so

I've amused myself before [https://www.aiweirdness.com/this-is-the-openai-api-it-makes-spookily-20-06-11/] by getting GPT-3 to change one kind of text into another. With just a few style-change examples, I got it to change the Winnie the Pooh theme song [https://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/songs/movies/winnie-the-pooh-theme/index.htm]

Very normal grocery stores

I was reminded recently [https://twitter.com/HardSciFiMovies/status/1438945429878620163] that US grocery stores often have strange names. I grew up shopping at Big Bear and Giant Eagle and thought it was very normal for grocery stores to be named after megafauna. Given a list of real but strange grocery

Botober 2021: plz draw the AI a sluggalope

One of my favorite things ever is when AI instructs people to do silly creative things, and the humans gamely play along. For a couple [https://www.aiweirdness.com/ainktober-a-neural-net-creates-drawing-19-09-26/] of Octobers [https://www.aiweirdness.com/628160900506025984/] now I've used various AI models to generate daily #botober drawing

You know those games that go around on platforms like Twitter, where people share pictures of themselves looking like the leader of an underground resistance, or search google images for their name + fantasy armor or somesuch? I assume that if you successfully start one of these games, fame and fortune

AI doesn't understand scale

By Janelle Shane On June 24, 2021 - 4 min read

One of my favorite ways to mess around with text-generating AI is to see what it does with new games that didn't exist on the internet back when its training data was collected. OpenAI's GPT-3 models were trained with data that cut off in late 2019

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration releases its planned hurricane names years in advance, and includes a pronunciation guide [https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/aboutnames_pronounce_atlc.pdf] for each name.
