https://aidev.codes/u/runvnc/jokey/edit if you hit the Copy to Clipboard button on the right and then Create App (on your own account), then paste in the spec, you can change the comedian or topics.

This will host the (hilarious?) jokes you generate (with GPT3/text-davinci-003) on a web page. It might not be the ideal configuration though for this task since the site is for generating source code and so the temperature is set to 0.

Well that escalated quickly... "There once was a man from Nantucket."

> 1. He had a dog named "Nantucket."

> 2. He lived in a place called a “Scituate.”

> 3. All year long, he would look down at his penis, and say, "This is a barnacle-covered penis."

Maybe a dumb question, but how do you train a model that has already been trained? What is that process like?

1. You lie, as many of these startups do. They are just adding a custom prompt to your input.

2. You send OpenAI your corpus and your money, and they merge it with their corpus and run their software.

Interesting. I hope OpenAI is charging them for all that value they’re skimming off of OpenAI’s model.

"Today, Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians during West Bank raid." "Israeli authorities are being criticized for being too brutal, and Palestinian parents are being criticized for having too many kids." Looks like it's best not to try to feed it actual news, because the results are more than a little awful.

Close enough, adjust it slightly and you get a morbid but slightly funny and topical joke:

> Today, Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians during West Bank raid.

> Israeli authorities are being criticized for being too brutal, and Palestinian parents are being criticized by Israeli authorities for having too many kids.

Prompt: So my dog started meowing like a cat last night Punchline: We had to take him to the vet, where they discovered that he was just being a dick.

I like how this implementation makes it evident that GPT understands the style, but not yet the humor.

It's interesting seeing the general consensus that it understands the structure/style/form of jokes but not humor. I suspect anyone with kids will recognize this phase of human development.
