This took about 8 seconds to come back. A little longer and I'd think this was just a mechanical turk front-end with especially witty workers taking the jobs:

#164I played with this and it is super interesting (almost made me register a couple domain names!) That said, to me, it once again reinforces the belief that a large factor in GPT-3 amazingness is the taste in prompting/filtering that humans apply to it, that is, it produces a ton of crap that does not catch our eye that we just silently ignore and discard, but we will amplify and share amongst ourselves the output that…
Computers aren't creative; the excitement about GPT-3 is humans projecting something into its output or filtering the small number of bits that appear to make sense, as you say. Neural language models are just recycling bits that humans have said before, they address well the "how to say" part of NLG (Natural Language Generation) but fail with respect to the "what to say" part.
Maybe computers aren't creative, but imo there's a stronger argument to discount creativity in the first place then: https://www.markfayngersh.com/post/the-thinking-placebo

Good call! Many of these do seem to have an Adams tone to them.

#168Some of these could exist if we just start using them. The best one I've found: tootbox toot·box a place where something, especially music, plays "do you need a tootbox in your bedroom?" https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/FKYq
Yes, they often read like words from an alternate reality where the chaos of language use & neologisms went just a little bit differently.

#169Is creativity going to be the first major human trait upended by AI? I feel like the trope has always been "But the robots will never be able to express beauty/art/music/prose like humans". However it seems that all early AI is focused on and doing surprisingly well at creative pursuits. If someone rattled off words like this I would be amazed at their creativity.
First trait? What about computation, memory and logical reasoning? Computers crush people at all of these and have been doing them so well for so long that you don't think of it as AI. Still, definitely not the first human trait that computers can beat. Creativity is hard to talk about in this context for a bunch of reasons - it's hard to define, I don't think it's that impressive in humans, AI models are already dec…
I wonder how long until an AI can do well on the logical reasoning section of the LSAT. My guess is not anytime soon.

#170Appears to be a collection of perfectly cromulent words; someone should propulgate them into wider use in order to embiggen the vocabulary of our youth.
Dude--your putting shade on my shine. My peeps get my drift.
