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.

A summary of my experiments generating logos with #dalle https://www.aiweirdness.com/ai-versus-your-corporate-logo/

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

@penguin42 @mansr @neil I am amused by the unexpected giraffes, which have become a bit of a running joke in AI

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.

Character in Charlie Jane Anders’s Dreams Bigger than Heartbreak meets a space beetle and

“My name is Wyndgonk and my pronoun is fire.”

and so

“As Wyndgonk speaks, a burst of dark smoke sprays out of fire mouth”

this is so fun.

"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.

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.

Behold! Your new AI-generated Christmas entities. https://www.aiweirdness.com/christmas-entities/

Lucrative startup idea: use AI to predict the next toy fads!
Here I used GPT-3 to complete a list I seeded with pet rock, tickle me elmo, and furby. Its job is prediction, and its dataset is the internet. It is made of math so it is infallible.

@giltay Awesome!

I made an interactive AI-generated advent calendar!

My hobby is getting neural nets to complete lists because even the advanced ones make it weird.
