I was supposed to be making a video game, but got a bit sidetracked when DALL·E came out and made this website on the side: http://dailywrong.com/ http://dailywrong.com/ (yes I should get SSL).
It's like The Onion, but all the articles are made with GPT-3 and DALL·E. I start with an interesting DALL·E image, then describe it to GPT-3 and ask it for an Onion-like article on the topic. The results are surprisingly good.
- jelliclesfarm 4y agoLove it! Better than other news I get to read these days. Some of it rings..like the bluebird suing the cat. Thank you! Bookmarked!
- aantix 4y agoParenting > "Gillette Releases a New Razor for Babies"
- bemmu 4y agoI loved how it just consistently decided that if babies have facial hair, it's always white fluff.
- lancesells 4y agoI think it's because it's using images of babies with soap on their face to learn. Still funny though!
- busyant 4y agoThis is clever. Does GPT-3 come up with the title of the article, too? That's the funniest part.
- bemmu 4y agoAt first I came up with them myself, but found that it often comes up with better ones, so I ask it for variations. I think I got it to even fill the title given a picture, something like “Article picture caption: Man holding an apple. Article title: ...”. Might experiment more with that in the future.
- busyant 4y agoWell, then I'm impressed with GPT-3's ability to generate those titles! The combination of photo/title feels like they come from the more absurd articles published by theonion. If we aren't living in a simulation, it's just a matter of time...
- sillysaurusx 4y agoHow do you prompt GPT-3 to come up with the titles? That’s an interesting problem.
- dntrkv 4y agoSpam advertising is about to reach whole new levels of weird.
- aantix 4y agoFeels like the headlines could be generated similar to the style of "They Fight Crime!" "He's a hate-fuelled neurotic farmboy searching for his wife's true killer. She's a tortured insomniac snake charmer from a family of eight older brothers. They fight crime!" https://theyfightcrime.org/ https://theyfightcrime.org/ Here's an implementation in Perl. http://paulm.com/toys/fight_crime.pl.txt http://paulm.com/toys/fight_crime.pl.txt
- edm0nd 4y agolol that site is great >He's an unconventional gay paranormal investigator moving from town to town, helping folk in trouble. She's a violent motormouth wrestler from the wrong side of the tracks. They fight crime! >He's a Nobel prize-winning sweet-toothed rock star who believes he can never love again. She's a strong-willed communist widow with a knack for trouble. They fight crime! >He's an obese white trash barbarian with a secret. She's a virginal thirtysomething traffic cop with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!
- dr_dshiv 4y agoI definitely want to see the DALLE illustrations for this!
- tildef 4y agoActually got a chuckle out of the duck one (http://dailywrong.com/man-finally-comfortable-just-holding-a-ducks-head/ http://dailywrong.com/man-finally-comfortable-just-holding-a...). Thanks! I hope your keep generating them. Kind of wish there weren't a newsletter nag, but on the other hand it adds to the realism. Could be worthwhile to generate the text of the nag with gpt too; call it a kind of lampshading.

- prawn 4y agoWe joke about it, but an early and very cheap robotic floor cleaner I had was one of those weasel balls constrained in a flat ring harness with a dusting cloth underneath. It was entertaining and not completely useless. Put a guinea pig in there and you'd get the same effect.
- tiborsaas 4y agoThanks, finally a legit news publication :) This was really funny :) http://dailywrong.com/man-finally-comfortable-just-holding-a-ducks-head/ http://dailywrong.com/man-finally-comfortable-just-holding-a...
- zanderwohl 4y agoSomehow these articles are more readable than typical AI-generated search engine fodder... Is it because I'm entering the site with an expectation of nonsense?
- slavak 4y agoProbably because, by the creator's own admission, the articles are heavily cherry-picked to make sure the output is decent, which is probably a lot more human effort than goes into the aforementioned search engine fodder. http://dailywrong.com/sample-page/ http://dailywrong.com/sample-page/
- pwillia7 4y agoI would guess that most Spam farms are not using openAI davinci model which is really really good, but expensive. Just a guess.
- hanselot 4y ago
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoThat's... so weirdly ironic I can't even! Blogspam websites are made by real humans with little oversight, while a literal AI with oversight generates better results. That said, with a little tweaking, these technologies can - and probably already are - being used to churn out blogspam websites left and right, fully automatic.
- biztos 4y agoSo the other men in the pictures are the uncomfortable ones?
- astroalex 4y agoThis is amazing! Honestly one of the first uses of GPT3/DALL E that has held my attention for longer than a few seconds.
- benbristow 4y agoFrom the server IP looks like you're on some managed WordPress hosting that only offers free SSL on the more 'premium' packages. Easiest way for free SSL would be to just throw the domain on CloudFlare :)
- pieter_mj 4y agoVery funny! The "Scientists Warn New Faster Toothbrush May Cause Insanity"-story is not fake though, I've experienced it ;)
- drusepth 4y agoHaha, I was in a very similar boat when I built https://novelgens.com https://novelgens.com -- I was also supposed to be making a video game, but got a bit sidetracked with VQGAN+CLIP and other text/image generation models. Now I'm using that content in the video game. I wonder if you could use these articles as some fake news in your game, too. :)
- uxamanda 4y agoThe part where you have to confirm you are not a robot to subscribe to the mailing list is the best part of this, my new favorite website.
- walrus01 4y agoThe results with things that are artworks or more general concepts are fascinating, but there is for sure something creepy with "photorealistic" human eyes and faces going on... If you want to see some really creepy AI generated human "photo" faces, take a look at Bots of New York: https://www.facebook.com/botsofnewyork https://www.facebook.com/botsofnewyork
- jezzamon 4y agoThey intentionally prevented it from being able to general realistic faces to reduce the potential for deep fakes
- POPOSYS 4y agoUnfortunately the content of that project is a hostage of Facebook now - similar to ransomware gangsters they force you to do something to get the data, in this case you need to create an account and take part in that global surveillance network. I do not understand why people do that.
- scrollaway 4y agoHyperbole will get you nowhere good (Just ask RMS). How about wording your comment in a way that highlights why it’s a shame these pictures aren’t accessible for those without a Facebook account, and skip the whole “you’re murdering puppies” bit?
- tomgp 4y agoBeing a creepy sex pest will get you nowhere good (Just ask RMS). The hyperbole is good marketing for a certain audience.
- stuaxo 4y agoThis is fantastic, the fake news the world needs.
- aasasd 4y agohttp://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E-2022-07-01-14.16.54-_We-can-do-it_-poster-by-J.-Howard-Miller-but-the-woman-is-insane..png http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E... Hot dang. Some Reddit subs can be auto-generated now.
- spyder 4y agoIt's already a thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/ but yea, it will have generated images now.
- aasasd 4y agoHmmm, these seem less deranged than headings from the previous Markov-chain bots—and kinda less interesting because of that. I guess Markov chains for the headings, Dall-E for images, maybe GPTx for comments. And/or the GPT models should be made wackier somehow—less coherent, perhaps.
- housedrafta 4y agoI had the same thought when I saw this one http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E-2022-07-01-14.23.01-_We-can-do-it_-poster-by-J.-Howard-Miller-but-with-a-shiba-inu..png http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E...
- picozeta 4y agoThese are actually quite funny. A bit of a surreal touch, but that makes them even more fun.
- layer8 4y agoThis one seems like it could actually be real in Japan: http://dailywrong.com/anime-pillow-gym-opens-in-tokyo/ http://dailywrong.com/anime-pillow-gym-opens-in-tokyo/ ;)
- ttyyzz 4y agoNGL this shit is pretty cursed and I like it.
- czhu12 4y agoThese results are pretty amazing. Are these cherry picked / curated / edited at all?
- pontusrehula 4y agoYes they are heavily cherry picked. The web site itself has a disclaimer about it.
- 01100011 4y agoIt would be interesting to see if there was a market for a monthly newsprint version similar to the old https://weeklyworldnews.com/ https://weeklyworldnews.com/ Can DALL-E render Bat Boy?
- Aeolun 4y agoI’m curious, if they’re only making DALL-E accessible now, and if GPT-3 was never really accessible (as far as I know). How do you have access to these things to generate text and images?
- unixbane 4y ago
- edf13 4y agoYour images are coming over SSL - so won't show up on many browsers (E.g. Firefox)
- bengkoang 4y agoTry Auto-Install Free SSL plugin, it easy for me
- bergenty 4y agoHilarious. Those first images have hurt feminism more than the GOP has in 30 years. http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E-2022-07-01-14.16.54-_We-can-do-it_-poster-by-J.-Howard-Miller-but-the-woman-is-insane..png http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E... http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E-2022-07-01-14.16.47-_We-can-do-it_-poster-by-J.-Howard-Miller-but-the-woman-is-insane..png http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E...

- dusted 4y agoYou get + two million points from me for not having HTTPS.
- lostgame 4y agoThis a fucking fantastic site, it’s absolutely hilarious, and I’ve bookmarked it - I kinda unironically want to set it as my home page - but just a heads up that the CSS is broken for me on my iPhone SE2. The images don’t scale properly with the rest of the site, they’re massive compared to the content.
- sabertoothed 4y agoYou should let readers rate the articles. This way readers new to the site can read the best ones first and get a good impression.
- mcintyre1994 4y agoHaha I love this one: https://dailywrong.com/why-your-dog-could-be-an-alien/ https://dailywrong.com/why-your-dog-could-be-an-alien/
- dash2 4y agoHow do you generate the original image? And what about the subsequent images, do they come automatically from the text? I'd love to know more about the process.
- mderazon 4y agoThis is great, I love it. Why do the images load so slow though?
- naet 4y agoI've had that idea since GPT 3 but never got any access...
- ryanmercer 4y agoThis is the most wonderful thing ever.
