The thing about large language models like GPT-3 and Lambda describing the experience of being self-aware is they can also describe the experience of being a squirrel.

AI-generated donuts
I used GPT-3 to generate some new donuts, and then drew some of my favorites.

An AI-generated blog auto-spawns dozens of posts per day, and many are victims of what I'll call the Baltimore Orioles Effect, in which AI mixes two very different things with similar names.

There's a group of fossil bivalve mollusk with genus name Megalodon.
There isn't much online about them, but ask GPT-3 to write a press release about them and it will generate lots of "details" about how it's a giant terrifying predator.

"Easter eggs, matte painting"
matte paintings are usually epic film backdrops so

I used GPT-3 to generate a list of pranks for a computer to play on a human.
Apparently computers think they're being hilarious.

I trained GPT-2 on a list of 15,000 golf course names and got some perfectly normal results

Tired of generic greetings?
Confuse your friends with AI-generated Valentine cards!
GPT-3 generated the messages and descriptions, and then I followed its instructions to create the cards.

I prompted GPT-3's DaVinci model with 13 paint colors (name, and R G B color coordinates) from a neural net I trained 5 years ago.
DaVinci drew on its internet training to generate these.

AI-generated breakfast food
Used GPT-3 to generate new breakfast cereals and descriptions.
Some are a bit questionable.

I went on a quest to get CLIP to recreate those giant wooden playground complexes from my childhood. You know, one of these.
I figured it would work - they already look like a fever dream of an over-enthusiastic AI. I never got close.

Neural net generated food items to enjoy!
Pixray generating "View from the end of the Thanksgiving Table"
Demo here: https://pixray.gob.io/text2pixel/
Pixray Swirl uses CLIP to generate each frame to match my prompt, starting from a shifted version of the previous frame.
Prompt here was "Straight trail leading past a jelly landscape with jello mountains #8bit #pixelart
Come for the jellyfish, stay for the colossal jam jar.

After I gave it a few examples of changing one style of text into another, I got GPT-3 to draw on the vast knowledge encoded in its internet training and improve some common error messages.
https://www.aiweirdness.com/use-ai-to-improve-your-error-messages/
If I give it a few examples, I can get GPT-3 to change the style of a sentence. See how it improves my writing!

I decided to see what CLIP+VQGAN would do when I gave it a house and told it to make it haunted.

vs modified to better match the phrase "a haunted Victorian house"
Because I so dearly love it when humans play along when computers ask for silly things, I have generated drawing prompts for #botober2021!
I've managed to get GPT-3 to follow themes. Here's "animals". The rest are at this link:

AI is based on math so it must be correct.

It's easier to make an industrial demon than a unicorn cake? I experimented with @RiversHaveWings's new diffusion-guided CLIP method.
"industrial demon, matte painting, artstation HD"
"unicorn cake with golden horn and rainbow sprinkles"

AI-generated cake
There's no cake fail like an AI-generated cake fail.
I had CLIP+VQGAN attempt some classic showstopper cakes. Here's its "galaxy glaze cake"
