I have played with OpenGPT-2 for a few hours, testing its capabilities for generating politically-motivated texts in particular.
Indeed, it fails at large sample sizes, but it is _quite_ capable of replying to tweets and writing e.g. comments on Hacker News, Reddit or elsewhere.
With some human assistance, it can produce believable text fragments that can be later copypasted and reassembled into genuine articles or blog posts. If your full-time job is shitposting and/or generating politically divisive content by megabytes, it increases your productivity by orders of magnitude.
- jamesrom 7y agoThis, 100% this. It's the massive productivity gains, multiplied by the ever increasing ability to measure virility/persuasiveness that makes this combination dangerous.
- rahidz 7y agoThe biggest problem here is that, like so many of these "smart machines", OpenGPT-2 is a self-correcting machine that does not care about real-world context. ... That, of course, is exactly what GPT-2 wants you to think ;) https://i.imgur.com/lFkB3gI.png https://i.imgur.com/lFkB3gI.png
