I've asked ChatGPT to write an ode to the beer. This was the result:

  An ode to the frothy brew,
  The one that's crisp and true,
  A beer that's cool and light,
  The perfect drink for a summer's night.
  With every sip, a burst of hops,
  A refreshing taste that never stops,
  The gentle fizz, the golden hue,
  A symphony of flavors brewed just for you.
  Whether you're at a party or alone,
  A refreshing beer is like coming home,
  It's familiar and comforting, calming and pure,
  A tonic for the soul that's simply pure.
  So let's raise a glass to the brew,
  The lager or ale, your favorite or new,
  For no matter the type or brand,
  A refreshing beer is always grand.

I am excited to live inside my anime Haram hentai

We all are. Some want porn of Emma Watson, some want porn of werewolves and some just want to see porn of their ex. And soon we are all gonna get what we want. That‘s the silver lining to the massive job destruction that is to come.

I'm fine with a young Jenna Jameson. The identity of the actors doesn't matter much.

There is a startling acceleration of innovation in the field that GPT-4 illustrates. According to NVidia, LLM sizes have been increasing 10X per year for the last few years. This tech is going to hit every aspect of society like a sledgehammer over the next 48 months.

I guess you perception of society is severely limited if you think a fancy autocomplete is capable of changing every aspect of it.

  The other, less sensational possibility, she said, is that what appears to be emergent may instead be the culmination of an internal, statistics-driven process that works through chain-of-thought-type reasoning. Large LLMs may simply be learning heuristics that are out of reach for those with fewer parameters or lower-quality data.

  But, she said, finding out which of those explanations is more likely hinges on a better understanding of how LLMs work at all. “Since we don’t know how they work under the hood, we can’t say which of those things is happening.”

I asked GPT-4 to take this ode and make it rhyme better, and to make it more clever and beautiful:

    A sonnet to the effervescent ale,
    The potion crisp, sincere, and hale,
    A quaff that's chilled and full of light,
    The ambrosia for a summer's twilight.

    With every draught, a surge of hop,
    A zestful taste that will not stop,
    The subtle fizz, the amber glow,
    A panoply of notes that flow.

    In festive throngs or solitaire,
    A bracing brew brings comfort there,
    It's known and soothing, mending, clear,
    A balm for hearts, a joy austere.

    So let's extol the sudsy cheer,
    The stout or porter, far or near,
    For in each varied draft or blend,
    A lively beer shall ever mend.

Quite interesting if you think about this not as a marketing jingle but as Art. Contrast it to Poe's Beer Poem "Lines". What does it say about humanity and their ability to create wonderful things? Does it change ? The beauty of poetry is finding the meaning hidden in the rhymes and verses.

Lines on Ale: Edgar Allen Poe

Filled with mingled cream and amber, I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber Through the chamber of my brain. Quaintest thoughts, queerest fancies Come to life and fade away. What care I how time advances; I am drinking ale today.

The same was said 10 years ago. It's astonishing what can be done, but you can already see fundamental limits. I think it will raise productivity for some tasks, but not fundamentally change society.

I used ChatGPT to generate erotic stories. Now I want a model which can produce porn videos from prompts.

Give it 2 years, it will happen, and it will make billions. In 5 years, unlimited interactive NSFW video games that will be personalized and remember you.

In 10 years this could effectively be the end of Hollywood. Imagine if it can write a story and feed into 3d engine and output pitch perfect videos.
