Gwern got GPT-3 to write some good jokes: https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#humor https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#humor I like the dad jokes the most. https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#dad-jokes https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#dad-jokes I think Gwern's conclusion is that most of them aren't amusing, but most of them make me chuckle just because of the absurdity, like "Q. What do you call a mad scientist who has been in the sun? A. Mr. Sunburn." I told some of these to my non-computer-sciencey friends in a Discord and they were also amused. Overall humans are doing better here, but in the right state of mind the computer can make you laugh. It's great!

The navy seal copypastas are incredible, particularly the Zizek one: What in Slovene psychoanalysis did you just write about me, you ignorant little piglet? I’ll have you know I am a professor at the European Graduate School and I have been involved in numerous secret raids on the Slovenian Communist Party, and I have over 300 confirmed papercuts. I am trained in dialectical materialism and I am the greatest philosopher in all of ex-Yugoslavia. You are nothing to me but just another militant atheist. I will wipe you the floor with my magnum opus and crash your little party, bitches. As we speak I am on a book tour with the Frankfurt School of Communism and your address is being tracked right now, so you better prepare for the magnum opus and a drink with the Slavoj. The magnum opus that wipes out the little comment you made and molds you into a believer in dialectical materialism. You’re going to be a believer soon, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I have degrees from a bunch of different universities that you have probably never heard of, and I have access to critical theory and it will be used to its full extent to hammer your mind into submission, pussy. Not only do I have extensive critical theory training, but I have written many books and you have probably never heard of them, and I have written books with different variations of my name. Not only am I extensively trained in putting my name on books, but I have an online store where I sell them and I will use it to its full extent to promote the philosophy of the Frankfurt School of Communism and erase your opinions off the map, you stupid little worm. If only you had had the foresight to know what unholy retribution your little “clever” statement was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have thought twice. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re going to pay the price, you damn fool. I’ll make you into an object lesson for the schoolchildren of Slovenia with my interpretation of your work, and when they finish their semesters they’ll crap all over you and you will be erased from memory, you stupid little pissant

  This is absolutely hilarious. I'm amazed just how much GPT-3 knows about Zizek

  No matter how hard I try, I cannot convince myself that this was written by an AI and not by a person. Text models have improved an incredible amount in the last 5 years. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if we pass the Turing Test before New Year's.

    I think copypastas are a particularly good fit for an AI to create, since they follow a rigid structure with word substitutions based on a particular topic.

      I think there's a huge difference between creating an AI that generates copypastas and creating a general AI that can learn the concept of copypasta without being taught directly by a human.

I got GPT-3 to write (joke) pick-up lines once and it generated: "Your eyes are as blue as the rings around Uranus". Genuinely original I believe, searching it on google doesn't show it anywhere.

  I've done some playing with GPT-3 as well and found it extremely good at weeding out misleading item descriptions on Amazon (given the description, ask some questions about it, it gets them right), and pretty good at fan fiction (with a little bit of setup, it writes stories with a beginning, middle, and end).
