The AI Weirdness hack

By Janelle Shane On March 23, 2023 - 7 min read

A challenge of marketing internet text predictors like chatgpt, gpt-4, and Bard is that they can pretty much predict anything on the internet. This includes not just dialogues with helpful search engines or customer service bots, but also forum arguments, fiction, and more. One way compaies try to keep the

Bing chat dialog in which Janelle challenges it on a Battlestar Galactica AI Weirdness post it claims exists.

Search or fabrication?

By Janelle Shane On March 11, 2023 - 3 min read

I recently started experimenting with Bing's new ChatGPT-powered chat tab. This is the first thing I asked it for: I've put red boxes around the factual errors. What is notable is that these are not just slight typos or errors in context - those items never

How to convince a large AI, according to smaller AIs

By Janelle Shane On February 27, 2023 - 3 min read

There are a lot of chatbot-based apps that are basically internet text generators with a bit of introductory stage-setting to nudge the interaction into "user talks to helpful chatbot" as opposed to literally any other dialog on the web. Not surprisingly, these are susceptible to a user resetting

Four surreal generated valentine cards with dinosaurs, carnivorous plants, and leaping donkeys

Roses are red

By Janelle Shane On February 07, 2023 - 4 min read

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

Cartoons of socks: One has violins and prawns, another has robots posing with butter

Novelty Socks by AI

By Janelle Shane On January 14, 2023 - 5 min read

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

Four very strange Victorian-esque Christmas cards, with leaping artichokes, dancing seahorses, and sledding poops.

Victorian Holiday cards by AI

By Janelle Shane On December 25, 2022 - 3 min read

I'll admit I don't understand Victorian holiday cards - why would Christmas be best illustrated by a pipe-smoking kangaroo in a dressing gown painting a portrait of a cigar-smoking stork? Or what would lead someone to give their loved ones a card with a crowd of

The word "fart" written 251 times, rated as 99.98% fake by the GPT2 detector

Apparently I am a robot

As AI-generated text is getting better, it's getting easier to pass it off as human-written. That's not to say it's as good as human-written. Its goal is to sound correct rather than be correct, so it has a well-known tendency to confidently make stuff

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
