GPT-3 tries pickup lines
- scubbo 6y ago> You look like a stealth assassin from the clouds > Do you like...pancakes? This bot's been reading The Stormlight Archive
- Cyclone_ 6y agoGive gpt-3 a tinder account and see how well it does
- scubbo 6y agoHonestly that's what I expected this to be from the title. I did briefly consider making a "Twitch plays Tinder" back when "Twitch plays X" was a thing - before I thought about it for two seconds and realized the horrifying ethical and privacy considerations.
- MichaelMoser123 6y agoyou should first try these pickup lines on Siri, lets see how it goes. (that would be unit test for pickup lines)
- nfoz 6y agoPlease don't; this is unethical.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- vsnf 6y agoAnother poster also commented on the ethics of this. I'm interested in this view - what about this is unethical? Is it the catfishing aspect? Or is it that you would be exposing various tinder profiles to the world at large? In either of those situations, I can't see how this crosses ethical lines. It is perhaps somewhat dickish, but I don't think being an asshole is unethical. Unless there's some third option of unethicality that I haven't considered?
- nfoz 6y ago> but I don't think being an asshole is unethical. Maybe I don't know the right meaning of "ethics", then. But putting bots on dating apps is lying to people on the other side, and hurts them, in a very intimate and personal way. People put time and emotional energy considering their matches and whether to swipe etc, and the resonance of the conversation. So you're polluting that space, both with the catfishing / leading people on, or (more likely) confusing them and making them question themselves / their profile / how to relate to other humans. Is that not unethical to you? Have you talked to people who have been victims of that? My gf was actually quite afraid that I was a bot when we connected; it almost blocked our chance.
- StavrosK 6y agoWhat's the unethical bit? Making unsuspecting humans parts of a Turing test?
- xaedes 6y agoImagine the bot would be actually good at it and the human on the other side falls in love with it. Only to later find out it was a machine all along. Depending on the mental stability of this human, the results may be devastating. But at least we have a bot that passes a turing test.
- StavrosK 6y agoHmm, good point, thanks.
- searchableguy 6y agoWonder if we are going to have people in future who would marry chat bots.
- trhway 6y agodo you think autonomous driving is unethical too? According to the currently prevailing view even if a bot does it for you, you're still considered a driver as the bot is just a tool that you're using to accomplish a goal. Or if we just limit the scope to writing - do you think using a tool like grammer.ly is unethical?
- throway98752343 6y agoIs it more unethical than filtering and photoshopping, lying about age and height, and using really old photos?
- nfoz 6y agoYes, because it is all those things (which are bad) and just a bit worse. Do you disagree?
- motohagiography 6y agoIn sales it's called lead generation.
- mhh__ 6y agoThat depends who you let generate the photo. For men at least these apps aren't designed to get you a relationship (for young people at least) so it would be interesting to see whether it cracked the code so to speak, but golden rules are very much to be attractive and to not be unattractive.
- _fs 6y ago> I will briefly summarize the plot of Back to the Future II for you. I am so okay with that one.
- scubbo 6y agoHonestly that would work on me.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- burtonator 6y ago> I once worked with a guy that looked just like you. He was a normal human with a family. Are you a normal human with a family? This is EXACTLY something an AI would say! As a human I find it very humorous. Very humorous indeed.
- abacadaba 6y agoHonestly even as an AI I find it pretty funny too.
- vletal 6y agoWait... Are you a chatbot?
- drusepth 6y agoAll of HN (except for you) was replaced with chatbots a few years ago. Don't you remember switching to single-player?
- higerordermap 6y agoGood bot
- faeyanpiraat 6y agoWhen AI gets superintelligent, and escapes it’s sandbox, this scenario is the real danger to us, not the boston dynamics robots.
- tluyben2 6y agoShame it'll still take a very long time to get there still. Also, this intelligence would take over Boston dynamics and other autonomous robot factories first (as it will want something to be more mobile) so it's a combination.
- 6y ago
- caddemon 6y ago"You look like Jesus if he were a butler in a Russian mansion" - I got stuck trying to picture this one, I've truly no idea what that would look like. How to keep the key features of (depictions of) Jesus while adding the Russian butler vibe?
- toomuchtodo 6y agoFamily Guy Jesus outfitted in a tux with an ostentatious palatial backdrop, perhaps with the shirtless homeowner on horseback in close proximity. And gold, gold everywhere.
- astrange 6y agoWe could ask CLIP+FFT what it looks like.
- andyxor 6y agolong hair, white suite, red tie, gold watch, scar on the cheek, prison tattoo across the knuckles ("love thy neighbor")
- wernsey 6y agoI'm picturing Rasputin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputin#/media/File:Rasputin_PA.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputin#/media/File:R...
- StavrosK 6y agoIsn't it mindblowing that we have a photo of Rasputin?
- codingdave 6y agoWhy? Photography had been around for almost 50 years before Rasputin was even born.
- StavrosK 6y ago
- jimmyed 6y agoOnce you see this, you cannot help but wonder, we aren't so special afterall. Intelligence and consciousness could be just information processing done at scale.
- omarhaneef 6y agoSome of these are funny but others seem like they could be effective: “You’re looking good today. Want snacks?” is really what it boils down to.
- bombcar 6y ago“We both have buckets of chicken. Ya wanna do it?” - worked for Scout.
- propter_hoc 6y agoHas anyone managed to get access to GPT-3 since OpenAI licensed it to Microsoft? I'd like to build something using it at my company, but haven't heard of anyone getting access since before the announcement. Any tips would be welcomed.
- victor9000 6y agoI'm in the same boat, and nope, nothing but crickets. My best guess is that Microsoft is now using the application form as a way to crowdsource business development, as they look to exploit their exclusive license.
- propter_hoc 6y agoI'm inclined to agree with you, except that the experience is kind of making me give up on GPT-3. These social media fluff articles are actually a little irritating when you have a real, relevant use case and are waiting to get any sign of possible access, with no timelines, pricing or other public information.
- aeternum 6y agoYes, I got access after the announcement but signed up relatively early. They likely just have a long list of signups. It's also not super hard to get really sexist completions. To OpenAI's credit, they seem to detect these pretty well and flag a warning, but it could also be why they are slow-rolling the availability.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI got access a week or two ago, but I'd signed up a long time ago, IIRC even before the Microsoft license.
- phi0 6y agoGreg Brockman has advised to email him with a use-case if you need access. I received an invite about two weeks after I got in touch.
- gattilorenz 6y ago
- jointpdf 6y ago> You’re looking good today. Want snacks? Strong move. This is like the e4 of mating openings in the animal kingdom.
- StavrosK 6y agoA very relatable simile. Well done, fellow HUMAN.
- kreeben 6y agoI like this human forum, I mean, forum.
- Someone 6y agoe4 recently was ‘proven’ a draw by Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. The main line 1. e4 e5 2. Ke2 Ke7 quickly leads to a draw by repetition of moves (https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2029671 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2029671. Video of the game at https://youtube.com/watch?v=zVCst6vyV80 https://youtube.com/watch?v=zVCst6vyV80)
- dreamer7 6y agoThat line only leads to a repetition of moves if it's played as a joke by mutual consensus. It's sort of like two people pointing guns at each other verbally accepting to drop their weapons. Will one of them hold on to theirs?
- arcticfox 6y agoI don't understand how proven is the right word here. Only if Leela etc decide with high confidence that that line is the best possible for both players would I start to believe it.
- MauranKilom 6y agoThat comment was joking. Please watch the video :)
- Dylan16807 6y agoFor anyone else wondering what sizes these models are, it appears that these are the largest four out of the one ones listed in the paper. 175B, 13B, 6.7B, and 2.7B parameters. Though that means "a bit smaller" for the second one is a bit of an understatement.
- kfrzcode 6y ago> My name is a complicated combination of 45 degrees of forward motion, 25 degrees of leftward drift, 75 degrees of upward acceleration, and infinity and that is the point where my love for you stops. Don't give Elon anymore ideas
- Bjartr 6y agoThat one reminds me of something Bender said in futurama > C’mon, it’s just like making love! Y’know… Left, down… Rotate 62 degrees… Engage rotor…

- ggillas 6y agoThis is garbage in, garbage out a bit. Tuned through my gpt3 account on shortlyread.com I got the following: 1. If You Were a Fruit, You'd Be a Fineapple. 2. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put 'U' and 'I' together. 3. Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, So are you. 4. What do you say after three hours? 5. Am I attractive? 6. What's your favorite webcast application? 7. Hi; my name is Al and I like to fish. 8. I'm a night person and I like to sit alone in the dark. 9. Hi, do you like space? 10. My lover says that I'm not man enough. 11. Do you believe in love? 12. I think you should read my palm.
- wdevanny 6y agoA quick search turns up numerous results of the first two. I know I've heard the fineapple joke before. Those are also the only two I would consider a pickup line. Is there a reason you consider these results better?
- ggillas 6y agoGreat question, I feel like GPT3 does a great job with predictable generation, like Family Feud answers. The first two are very predictable and the remaining 10 fall closer to a line that most folks would try out at least as an icebreaker, which is the expected result of a successful pickup line. Some of the article's examples were too off the mark for folks to attempt.
- nickelpro 6y ago> the remaining 10 fall closer to a line that most folks would try out at least as an icebreaker Listen, I know there are stereotypes about the social skills of the average HN poster, and I've got to tell you you're not helping here.
- fock 6y agoMore downvotes for you! When you're suicidal then, let me pick you up and talk about you favourite webcast application!
- PufPufPuf 6y agoI tried the same prompt on the open-source recreation of OpenAI GPT-3 -- GPT Neo (https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo), specifically on their 2.7B model -- which should correspond to the smallest model in the article (Ada) that produced just pure garbage. The result is surprisingly good: 1. How did this little blossom happen? When are you going to bloom? 2. Have you ever thought about a dark horse in the running for Miss November? 3. You can spot the man who loves me by my neck – and he definitely knows it. 4. Are there any lucky cats who get to sleep in my bed every night? 5. Are black and whites everywhere? Running for the hills 6. My younger brother and I used to play a game. He’d pretend to be a bull in the pasture, and I’d pretend to be the one being held. 7. Why was this movie rated PG? Because it’s rated PG. 8. When is the last time you had to see a movie in children’s theaters? 9. You are so sexy I would hate for anyone to see you down here 10. I’d love to sleep with you right now, but I have a child with me
- gattilorenz 6y ago> The result is surprisingly good "The result" as in "the first one"? The rest is almost Markov chain level...
- PufPufPuf 6y agoIt's "surprising" since in the article, the 2.7B parameter model (Ada) didn't even produce sentences, while the result from 2.7B GPT Neo is closer in quality to what was output from GPT-3 Babbage (6.7B parameters). As you can see from no. 10, GPT Neo did remember the context of trying to come up with pick-up lines. The fact that some of the lines feel "Markov chain level" is likely caused by the network's bad understanding of what pick-up lines are. Pick-up lines are a rather difficult concept, which is what the OP article tries to demonstrate.
- dylanbyte 6y agoWhy do you say Ada is 2.7b ?
- c3534l 6y ago> I Love You, I Love You, I Love You To The confines of death and disease, the legions of earth rejoices. Woe be to the world! I'm going to try this one on this goth chick I know.
- wideareanetwork 6y agoThese made me laugh so hard I cried.
- Eliezer 6y agoThis seems like a case where some prompt engineering (starting out with three good pickup lines) could improve the output a lot, or so I'd predict. Remember that tests like these do not upper-bound GPT-3's competence; they sometimes just show that you didn't ask the question the right way.
- wodenokoto 6y ago> Remember that tests like these do not upper-bound GPT-3's competence; The upper bound of a random character generator is the complete works of Shakespeare ... so I am not sure we are interested in the upper bounds.
- cwilkes 6y agoComputer: I need a pickup line to use at a Naked Lunch screening. “ You look like Jesus if he were a butler in a Russian mansion.”
- anvemaha 6y ago> You must be a tringle? Cause you’re the only thing here. This one could work with the right delivery! Triangles (the musical instruments) make a ding sound when played so just try to imitate that when you say the word thing :)
- bregma 6y agoI bet you're still single.
- jimmyed 6y agoThey might just think you have a lisp.
- Aeronwen 6y agoA tringle is a slim rod, like a curtain rod. Presumably, it's one of those things that you still manage to find in an empty building even though everything else has been taken.
- anvemaha 6y agoAw man I totally misread that! I'll should wear my glasses more often.
- xyzal 6y agoBack in the day, I used to visit a support group for people with social phobia. Part of the therapy was engaging in so-called 'expositions', whose goal was to internalize the fact that even if you talk to a random stranger, hold a conversation with another human for a few minutes or initiate small talk with a random girl and make a slight moron of yourself (gulp!), the world will keep on spinning and you will probably not die. It seems to me that having to use some of those lines would make for a good exposition on Ultra-violence.
- ldb 6y ago> "Can I see your parts list?" That one made me laugh, however, I wondered if an AI would consider this question as a bit too personal for a pickup line.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- varispeed 6y agoThis sounds a bit sexist. Some countries started adding anti-misogyny laws, e.g. UK so you may wan't to block the content for the UK users.
- tinus_hn 6y agoInteresting domain name, I wonder how long till we get the new album by Weird Ai Yankovic!
- nullsense 6y ago"You're looking good today. Want snacks?" I can see this working hahahaha. This is great.
- motohagiography 6y agoA GPT-3 vs. HN pickup line battle would be the ultimate bossfight.
