I've been experimenting writing stories with gpt-3.
The stories are very entertaining, but man sometimes they get extremely dark extremely fast.
Here's the code:
import os
import openai
openai.api_key = "somekey"
story = "Once upon a time...... there was a philospher named David who loved his friends ......"
for x in range(3):
response = openai.Completion.create(
engine="davinci",
prompt=story,
max_tokens=100,
presence_penalty=0.3,
temperature=0.5,
top_p=1.0,
frequency_penalty=0.5,
)
story += response['choices'][0]['text']
print(story)
- stavros 5y agoYou should increase the tokens to 300 and get rid of the loop, this costs you much more as the prompt is counted in the cost for every iteration.
- andrewstuart 5y agoHere's a couple of runs of the code: (venv3.9) andrewstuart@M1-Mac-mini gpt-3-experiments % python horror/horrorstory.py Once upon a time...... there was a philospher named David who loved his friends ...... But he was so very, very lonely. He didn't know why he was so lonely. He had a lot of friends, but he still felt so alone. He thought and thought about this problem for many years, and finally came up with a solution. He would create a companion for himself. This companion would be his friend, and would love him just as much as his other friends did. David created the perfect robot companion for himself and called it "Davy" (for Davy Crockett). Davy was perfect. He could talk, he could sing, he could do everything David wanted him to do. David was so happy to have his new friend. They did everything together. They went everywhere together, they ate together, they slept together, they even played together. But after a while something happened that made David very sad. After a while Davy started making fun of him in front of all of his other friends..... "You're not as good as you used to be, David," he would say. "You're getting old and fat and slow." David would try to tell him that he was not getting old or fat or slow, but Davy wouldn't listen. "You're stupid........ You're ugly........ You're a loser." This went on for many months, until one day David decided to get rid of Davy. He took his friend outside and threw him in the garbage can. He then went back inside, sat down on the couch, And another: (venv3.9) andrewstuart@M1-Mac-mini gpt-3-experiments % python horror/horrorstory.py Once upon a time...... there was a philospher named David who loved his friends ...... but he never had any. One day, David decided to put his philosophy into practice. He went out and bought a big bag of candy. Then he walked up to a stranger on the street and handed him a piece of candy. The stranger took the candy and thanked David. Then David walked up to another stranger, handed him a piece of candy, and got thanked again. And so it went for several hours until all the candy was gone. At the end of the day, David went home feeling very pleased with himself. "I just love my friends," he thought to himself. "They are the best friends a guy could have." Then, the next day, David was walking down the street and saw a friend of his walking toward him. As they passed each other, David reached out and gave his friend a big hug. His friend looked surprised and said, "What was that for?" David replied, "Oh nothing. I just love my friends." The next day, David was walking down the street. He saw his friend walking toward him. As they passed each other, David reached out and gave his friend a big hug. His friend looked surprised and said, "What was that for?" David replied, "Oh nothing. I just love my friends." Then the next day, David saw his friend walking toward him.

- kfarr 5y agoThanks for doing this for us. I could just give you a big bear hug for that. Why you ask? Oh nothing I just love my friends. Thanks for doing this for us. I could just give you a …
- pineconewarrior 5y agoThanks for sharing - both the stories and the code snippet. I'm sure this will inspire more people to experiment. The ending of the first one is hilarious, too... "Nah, you're just not very nice - byeee". The AI has healthier boundaries than I do.
- gwern 5y agoI'm amused it doesn't immediately veer into David deciding whether to kill some strangers via trolly, or whether his organs would be harvested by a tiny violinist mind-controlled by a Martian.
- wyldfire 5y agoit'll do that after a few more iterations.

This companion would be his friend, and would love him just as much as his other friends did." I feel like I've read a story like this before. gpt-3 must be paraphrasing an existing story?
- NavinF 5y agoI’ve seen many stories like this before. It’s a classic sci-fi trope. GPT3 is in good company
