I always like to point people to /r/SubSimulatorGPT2 [1] as a good example of what GPT2 is able to accomplish. It's a subreddit filled entirely with bots, each user is trained on a specific subreddit's comments matching it's username (so politicsGPT2Bot is trained on comments from the politics subreddit). Go click through a few comment sections and see how mind-bendingly real some comment chains seem. They reply quot…

Some of this stuff is just gold: https://old.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/ggf1mq/i_...

This one is also fantastic, the post text itself is so goddamn convincing that I actually searched on youtube for the name of the show to see if it existed (it doesn't).

Bug report: I hit “Microtissue”, a word that does exist, and its definition is incorrect ;-) ( https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/microtissue/eyJ3IjogI... )

Same with "refactoring"

Might be time to coin some new phrases.

  nonmagical
    non·mag·i·cal

    unquestionably true or valid
    "his nonmagical beliefs and ideas"

Well that's a perfectly cromulent word.

Wow. GPT2 is so, so, so much better than Markov chains. I'm reading these definitions, and the fact that the last few words of the sentence match the first few words subject-wise is pretty amazing. Just some random ones: > denoting or relating to a word (e.g., al-Qadri), the first letter of which is preceded or followed by another letter > a synthetic compound used in perfumery and cosmetic surgery to improve the app…

If someone could make a billion word dictionary of these words, you could get excellent sentence compression rates out of standard English.

GPT-2 itself works off of excellent sentence compression (byte-pair encoding for the input and output)

Apparently creating the word "Jukeerchin" will "crash" the site. Huh.

Or something is wrong with my internet. Idk.

Yes, I am here to launch my new cure-all "metasodium" its like sodium, but meta.

metasodium meta·sodium any of a group of silica compounds thought to act by the interaction of sodium with sodium, the latter of which has many physiological roles and is essential in the modulation of many physiological processes "a polymeric metasodium oxide from which such compounds in the cell cycle are derived"

The first word I got was disappointed (different definition/usage though), are you running these results through a real dictionary before serving them?
