This is funny and interesting AND GPT4 gives such a bad photo for the prompt.
Is this because GPT4 is out of a highly stylized space? I really haven't played with it. My objections include: water droplets on the mug, bad framing, B- latte art, mug looks basic (and the handle has geometry that makes you question geometry), table surface looks sus, unidentified brown splotches on the table, what's going on with the chairs, what's up with the floor, what's the small bright vertical plane that descends from halfway in the plane about, and so on. I don't know if the caption is random, but here is the caption I'm responding to:
An exquisitely detailed photograph captures the essence of a calming coffee break. In the foreground, the star of the scene is a matte black ceramic mug with a lustrous outer finish that gently reflects the ambient light, its thick walls hinting at the mug's thermal-retentive quality. Nestled inside the rim, a creamy surface of latte art presents a delicate feathered pattern, comprised of swirling strokes with varying shades ranging from the rich dark brown of the freshly brewed coffee to the light beige of the perfectly frothed milk. Each line in the pattern is smooth and purposeful, evidence of a skilled pour, and comes to a focal point with a singular, tiny coffee bubble, an accidental yet charming centerpiece. A soft shadow wraps around the mug's rim, adding depth and dimension, while the subtle sheen on the milk's frothy canvas catches the light, drawing the eye to the textural contrasts.
In the softly blurred background, everyday domestic tranquility is hinted at—a pristine white countertop underpinning the scene, a red-rimmed napkin holder casually placed to the left hints at a touch of color and homeliness. Behind, the clinical metallic sheen of a laptop lies closed, inviting its user to savor the moment of respite it offers. The space is intimately peaceful, a gentle invitation to pause and enjoy the craftsmanship and simple pleasure of a well-made cup of coffee.
- elijahbenizzy 3y agoHey now, that's a latte I made :) But yes, agreed, B- art without question. The caption is based on the original image, which is one I snapped a few mornings ago. Feels like it only moves towards an overdramatic representation, which probably has to do with its training data? Also likely with how I prompted it -- you can see the prompt + caption + embeddings here: https://d1lf8m1wnxcl0a.cloudfront.net/latte_2_20231217/metadata_0.json https://d1lf8m1wnxcl0a.cloudfront.net/latte_2_20231217/metad... (it'll download a json). Note the prompt is meant to keep it interesting (ish) -- this is all parameterizable by the code, but my guess is if I removed the second sentence it would be a little more boring: "Please provide a caption for this image. The caption should be obsessively descriptive"
- mcbrit 3y agoIf GPT4 spits out wildly different captions when prompted 'the caption should be descriptive' vs 'the caption should be obsessively descriptive', ie picks up on 'obsessive', then that's pretty funny. Also I didn't understand the game of telephone and am still synthesizing what it probably is/was via your comment so sorry about that; I did not mean to be rude.
- elijahbenizzy 3y agoWasn’t interpreted that way! And yeah, part of it is stochastic, but part is just that it has crazy associations and no social cues so it kinda just does whatever.
