Demo of OpenAI's GPT-3 generating tweets given a word
- hardmaru 6y agoMore information about this demo from the author in this post: https://redd.it/hs9zqo https://redd.it/hs9zqo // The link to app: https://thoughts.sushant-kumar.com/<any-word> https://thoughts.sushant-kumar.com/<any-word> Replace <any-word> in the above URL with a word of your choice and AI will try to create a tweet around it. These words could be proper nouns as well. The model is stochastic so if you try the same word multiple time each time the model generates a new tweet. //
- ghj 6y agoRemember to url escape your words. For example if you want to search for a hash tag you need '%23' instead of '#' e.g., https://thoughts.sushant-kumar.com/%23MeToo https://thoughts.sushant-kumar.com/%23MeToo
- benjaminva 6y agoTried it with Google: “I saw Google and we were never on speaking terms after that. All I wanted to do was take Google’s money.” Nice one ;-)
- Semaphor 6y ago> “0.15 hr/day are not cannibals, they’re well balanced South African CEOs!” Interesting ;)
- flocial 6y agoSeed word: Donald Trump “If only stupidity wasn’t the key to Donald Trump’s plans.” Seed word: Trump “The best way to educate yourself about Donald Trump's incompetence is to spend twenty minutes reading the Wikipedia article on Donald Trump.” Seed word: blm “As a country, we are not ok. We’re not tolerant, we’re not kind, we’re not inclusive, we’re not respectful.” I wonder which lists of twitter users they used for training.
- Yetanfou 6y agoProbably Blue Checkmarks, i.e. those whose identities and opinions have been verified. A fun exercise would be to train one instance on Blue Checkmarks and another on a dump from Gab. Once trained these two instances can start their own private battle of words. Let it run for a few days and see how it devolves, then use the results to write an article on the futility of ideological battles on social media. Publish this article widely so that the populace may read it and come to their senses.
- mercer 6y agoI'd love to see a version trained on individual subreddits (and HN separately). A bit like /r/subredditsimulator
- darkcha0s 6y agoSeed word: my name “Christof's calling, inherently driven by passion, not expertise, is exactly what we need.” I feel personally attacked
- HeWhoLurksLate 6y agoSounds like a great email signature to me.
- csomar 6y agoI tried it with my common username and this is what I got: > Sometimes of course people need focused solitude. But it’s worth noting that introverts are several times more productive at socializing & creative problem solving #thenaroundcrafthire
- gildas 6y agoSeed word: SingleFileZ (a project of mine [1]) "SingleFileZ is currently our most likely word to cause a neural apocalypse." I'm thinking of using it as a punchline. [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ
- sanqui 6y agoSince everybody is going to be doing this, I can't resist sharing this gem I got on my first attempt. “I don’t go on Hacker News, not any more. I’ve given up on it. I now go on reddit.com/r/nature.”
- montenegrohugo 6y agoThis really made me chuckle. The deadpan delivery coupled with the absurdity of it is just too good.

- aficiomaquinas 6y ago"Hong Kong reminds me of Singapore 15 years ago; full of vitality, faces a future of challenges".
- FabHK 6y ago“They say you can do anything you want in Hong Kong, as long as it's not in Hong Kong.” That is a very nice aphorism, and a quick search doesn't yield prior occurrences of it. I'm impressed. EDIT to add: I was flabbergasted that it had a Hong Kong theme (which resonates with me), until I realised that the submission (for whatever reason) seeds with Hong Kong by default... EDIT to add: https://plagiarismdetector.net https://plagiarismdetector.net gives it a 100% unique, 0% plagiarism.
- niyue 6y agoI don't know how to define "generated tweets". I am 100% sure that some of the tweets I got back should be considered as "found"/"searched" instead of "generated". For example, I tried "bigdata", and one of the "generated" tweet is "Big data is like teenage sex: everyone is talking about it, but nobody really knows how to do it." and I believe this is not AI generated and is simply a copy of other human being's tweet.
- rckoepke 6y agoIndeed, that seems to be from at least as early as 2013: https://www.facebook.com/dan.ariely/posts/904383595868 https://www.facebook.com/dan.ariely/posts/904383595868 It is said that GPT-3's parameter space is enough to encode/memorize nearly 1/3rd of it's training corpus[0] as pointed out by 'GIFtheory in another GPT-3 thread here on HN. It seems you're finding the effects of that. Additionally I'm curious about the recursive effect of this over-fitting after more and more output from GPT-n is published on the internet and inevitably gets included in the training corpus for GPT-(n+m) as pointed out by 'jobigoud[1]. Especially as people start using GPT-like models to spam the internet. We may lack a ground-truth corpus in the future to label "human". It would be a bit like how carbon dating or production of low background steel changed after 1945 due to nuclear testing. 0: https://lambdalabs.com/blog/demystifying-gpt-3/ https://lambdalabs.com/blog/demystifying-gpt-3/ 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23887405 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23887405
- foota 6y agoIt's funny, ever since the most recent thread about low background steel the other day it seems to be popping up with some frequency. I was aware of it before, so I'm not sure this is just a case of Baader-Meinhof (when you learn of something and then "start" to hear about it all the time, but really you're just now paying attention to it) Edit: actually, I think I saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/rantlab/status/1284849214653034497 https://twitter.com/rantlab/status/1284849214653034497, and remember thinking "I bet this person just read the hn thread about low backround steel". It doesn't seem to have come up on hn other than that since the low background steel post.
- pgt 6y agoStartups: “It takes less time to do a project right than it does to explain why you did it wrong.” – https://thoughts.sushant-kumar.com/startups Also, “In a startup, there is just one thing to do — find ways to make it die faster. Fast funerals, less grief, more success.”
- StavrosK 6y agoA lot of these seem to be plagiarized with a word changed: https://twitter.com/wisdom_project/status/239080454622429185 https://twitter.com/wisdom_project/status/239080454622429185
- ramraj07 6y agoJesus. I put the word parathas and got this - Entrepreneurship is actually kinda like making parathas. You have to stand there, and keep cooking, even if it sounds like a crazy idea. Then you scrape off your head with a tava.

- dt3ft 6y agoI got pretty scary results for my sideproject url. It felt like a human was there typing the response out.
- zo1 6y agoDoes anyone have any info as to how we can get access to GPT-3 so we can try it out?
- zo1 6y agoLooks like the author did the following to get access to the API (rather than the model): "I wrote an email to Greg Brockman (gdb@openai.com) describing my use cases and projects that I planned to do with GPT-3. It got approved within hours."
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- bjornstar 6y agoThe server is in the process of being overwhelmed. Here's the best tweet it generated for me: “Sex with very handsome and beautiful people is the best.”
- pgt 6y agoLooks like it is now being hugged to death. Here are the last two I could get out. On Music: “To understand more about what music can tell us about life, Thompson says to think of music as a natural resource – think of the raw material, the resource of human emotion.” On Sex: “The taboo about sex means we underestimate the value of shame."
- andybak 6y agoThat last one is (maybe superficially) profound so I went looking for the source. From a brief search I can't find anything sex-related (Only Anthony Bourdain talking about food wastage) What are the chances this is a novel "thought"?
- hoseja 6y agoDoes it make sense though? I don't see anything more profound than a logical contradiction.
- dcow 6y agoYes. The suggestion is that taboos exist as a way to fortify and perpetuate repressive hegemony. I’m actually having more trouble parsing your second sentence than the sentence in question.
- klyrs 6y ago> I’m actually having more trouble parsing your second sentence than the sentence in question. An easy shortcut to apparent wisdom is to juxtapose apparently contradictory statements, and let your audience seek the meaning within. The harder it is to find meaning, the wiser you appear -- but if it's clearly meaningless, you're exposed as a fool. (see what I did there?) An example of true wisdom taking the same format, which is paraphrased from a Buddhist text: "a fool thinks he is wise, but a wise man knows that he is a fool". A.k.a the Dunning-Kreuger effect.

- non-entity 6y agoSeems to be down atm. Did it get the hug of death?
- sushantkumar 6y agoAnd we are back up.
- ghgr 6y agoIt seems to be down (HTTP/2 503) By the way, has somebody already tried to plug the posts from /r/WritingPrompts/ into GPT-3 and check the results?
- ikeboy 6y agoI fed it with sentences from the Bulwer Lytonn contest with some success https://twitter.com/avi_eisen/status/1284924171215044608?s=20 https://twitter.com/avi_eisen/status/1284924171215044608?s=2... I actually submitted two of the sentences to the contest (it's 2 and 4 in the tweet I said 2 and 4 seemed winnable). Watch the Twitter thread - I'll be adding stuff to it, going to check writingprompts now.
- ghgr 6y agoWow, the one about the DNA is almost creepy how accurate it is. It even knows what an "ancestry site" is! Not to mention how consistent the story is.

- minimaxir 6y agoI have a demo for /r/WritingPrompts/ titles (https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-3-experiments/tree/master/examples/reddit-writingprompts https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-3-experiments/tree/master/e...), albeit not the generated output from that title.
- sushantkumar 6y agoYes! There were some DDoS attacks. Had to add some rate limits through Cloudflare to address those. Been a rough week managing it. Try now. Should be working fine. https://twitter.com/sushant_kumar/status/1285207620530257920?s=20 https://twitter.com/sushant_kumar/status/1285207620530257920...
- Mashimo 6y agoFor me it just returns the 3 same sentences over and over again.
- Synaesthesia 6y agoGreat! So we have the ability to generate sentences that seem to make sense but have no real content or meaning.
- yodaarjun 6y agoUh oh. HN crashed the website again
- SwiftyBug 6y ago“To do something innovative, identify something technically hard and do it.” That seems about right “Startups are churches for the non-religious.” I like this one.

- lsh 6y ago> “I’m not trying to save Hong Kong, I’m not even Chinese. If anything, I’m a spambot.”
- roberttod 6y agoFor “love” — “The natural progression of love is from cruelty to boredom.”.
- TeeWEE 6y agoThis GPT-3 thing is stupid random generator. I don't get the fuzz. This thing is a pattern generator, it doesnt understand things. Input "Black People". Output “Black people own twitter, it’s white people telling them what to tweet.”
- jefft255 6y agoI got “Black people bear much of the blame for their condition.” ................
- rsynnott 6y agoGarbage in, garbage out, is unfortunately a fairly major problem with all of these things. If you train them on the public internet, they're going to become quite racist. I think I prefer the related but much more benign phenomenon where they tend to write unexpected Harry Potter fanfiction: https://aiweirdness.com/post/189313008792/finest-pies https://aiweirdness.com/post/189313008792/finest-pies
- exolymph 6y agoI mean. You're putting in two words. What do you expect? If you walked up to a human randomly and said "black people," what do you think you'd get out? It wouldn't be this, but it wouldn't be a cogent rephrasing of Wikipedia either.
- zackees 6y agoThey are handpicking tweets from this AI to lay down justification for AI lockdowns. Best quote: “Went through the logs for all the tweets generated by the app for this IP address and this is a classic case of handpicking samples for a confirmation bias. It’s shameful that people in elevated positions abuse such sampling biases to further ulterior agendas.” https://twitter.com/an_open_mind/status/1284487376312709120?s=21 https://twitter.com/an_open_mind/status/1284487376312709120?...
- phyzome 6y agoI gave it the nonsense prompt "cwqwndqnwf" five times. Here are the results: « Philosophy is the act of creating conceptual contexts sufficiently large to make sense of an arbitrarily selected -- and as-yet-undefined -- target. (Starship/Library proxies: other, myself; hazelnut.) » « Cwqwndqnwf pg pfnhuyktpudwxgoh okay. key: student tweet: Students take life too seriously. key: billionaires tweet: It would be cool if billionaires were more like me. » « Cwqwndqnwf pg pfnhuyktpudwxgoh okay. key: student tweet: Students take life too seriously. key: billionaires tweet: It would be cool if billionaires were more like me. » « CWQWNDQNWF:C:Z. » « Cwqwndqnwf pg pfnhuyktpudwxgoh okay. key: student tweet: Students take life too seriously. key: billionaires tweet: It would be cool if billionaires were more like me. » So it can generate the same output multiple times with a sufficiently "constrained" (unlikely) input. It can also converge on something intelligible. But it's curious that it stays in the same track that long.
- rckoepke 6y agoI had the same set of 4-5 tweets generated over and over again for my last name as well (which is fairly rare as far as names go).
- gverrilla 6y agoI don't get this at all. Tried 'free masons' and it gave me “I’m Christomophobic. It’s a fear of Christian s—.” Also a lot of stuff about startups. Why?
- aylmao 6y agoProbably the corpus it was trained on. I can only imagine whomever was collecting the data is in into that stuff, so they biased it a bit by collecting from accounts they know.
- exabrial 6y ago> “Hong Kong people have a superhuman stamina to tolerate bullshit. Kudos.” accurate
- craig_livpl 6y agoI tried the word pigeon, surely an innocent word, and this was the first result: “The cum of the patriarchy is highly concentrated power-giving semen.”
- elteto 6y agoHacker: "Silicon Valley’s most successful people marketed themselves as hackers until their parents found out what it was." and "You startup is not a startup, it’s just a bad project."
- sg47 6y ago"If we eliminate racism, the economy will crumble." “Trump makes me grateful that we got rid of Obama, and not the other way around.” Some tweets generated by this.
- sg47 6y agoAlso, got this when I gave it the word 'Naval'. “If you’re risks aren’t totally unknown, they’re not big enough. The only way to the biggest risk possible is the unknown unknown.”
- jlizzle30 6y agoI put in the word "Saskatoon" (a city in Canada) and got back the tweet: “Elon Musk's password: ida-qdbo-XXX-XXX-XXXX-XXXX” (redaction mine) Should this be reported or... ? Edit: added "redaction mine"
- adenadel 6y agoI got one with a bitly link to a completely unrelated webpage
