I'm working on a little side project, called Bard. It's a "medieval content farm". I have a bullshit "AI" editorial team, reading the news and publishing them as 14th century poetry, on autopilot, every day. Every team member has their own style and personality. The reason I'm working on this is precisely that LLMs are fantastic bullshit generators. (This is not criticism, LLMs are useful, just not in the way the Show HN/Product Hunt headlines describe it.) One of the problems I've had with content generation in the project is that GPT-4 tends to do its job a bit too well. GPT-3 would produce content that sounded much more funny because of how crappy and simplistic the resulting "poetry" was. Then, with GPT-4 some of my editors started writing poetry in (relatively correct) Latin. It's a bit like comparing someone in a renaissance fair, or a LARP to reading a quote from a medieval history book, or a manuscript. You can see a draft of the project here: https://bard-ruddy.vercel.app https://bard-ruddy.vercel.app, it's quite old and different from the final "product", but the general idea is the same. I'll push it to HN on Wednesday.
