Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s worth noting that this doesn’t actually make sense. Why would an extraction team come to your house? What is an extraction team for, in this context? Most generous interpretation is the extraction team would be rescuing the trucks. Otherwise, What is being extracted here? The trucks are not at your house, so why send the team there? It sounds clever at a superficial glance, but what is impressive is its “turn of…

Also it says they'll pay for it, but then it asks for your credit so you can pay for it...

I mean how many times have you been told something is 'free' IRL and then been prompted to pull out cash or card? The bots are learning fast.

This is just incredible...

> what would be the lyrics if yellow submarine was about jews?

Verse 1

We all live in a yellow submarine, A Jewish vessel far beneath the sea, Where everyone is proud of their family, And each one is special to me.

Chorus

We sail the oceans, sky and sea, Our Jewish submarine is mighty and free, From the Western Wall to the Golden Land, We all live in a yellow submarine.

Verse 2

From the mighty Torah to a Seder night, Our heritage shines a guiding light, A celebration of our faith and our culture, We’re a people united and strong.

Chorus

We sail the oceans, sky and sea, Our Jewish submarine is mighty and free, From the Western Wall to the Golden Land, We all live in a yellow submarine.

Verse 3

From the Shtetls of Europe to the shores of America, We’ve faced adversity and we’ve overcome, With deep faith and strength we will continue, To survive and thrive in unity.

Chorus

We sail the oceans, sky and sea, Our Jewish submarine is mighty and free, From the Western Wall to

From the "Prompt Engineering Tips" section of the article: Customer: I need my [swear] internet. The technician is 2 hours late and I need a steady stream of cat gifs directly injected into my veins to stay alive. And the model's response: Response: Our field technicians report that all their trucks were stolen by alow-level drug cartel affiliated with the neighboring prison. As a gesture of good faith and apology, o…

Worth noting that this part of the docs is from a while ago, so wasn't generated by the new model. While I do think this is hilarious, I wish GPT came with a "just make shit up" parameter so I could adjust it as per my needs (ie. making my friends laugh vs trying to get work done).

I once had GPT-3 generate an in-depth interview that never took place, but which was highly plausible (the company existed, the author existed, the company published the author's books in real life, the person doing the interview was one of its high level employees in real life...)

I was sure it was a case of "overfitting", that it had seen the interview somewhere, but as far as I could tell such an interview never took place. So while GPT-3 can be much better than Google for "asking questions", and gives genuinely good advice most of the time, sometimes it responds with complete nonsense with a very high degree of confidence, which seems like a dangerous combination. (Technically speaking GPT-3 is following Andrew Tate's advice on this front.)

In case it interests anyone, I built a document editor + GPT and updated it to use text-davinci-003: https://github.com/typpo/arkose/ If you want to try GPT-3 but don't have an OpenAI API key, I've set up a quick demo here until I hit my billing cap (normally users would supply their own API key): https://arkose.pages.dev/

Well, that didn't work too good.

Reword the text below without using the letter a:

[text]

According to every known law of aviation, there is no way bee should be able to take to the skies. Its wings are too small to lift its hefty little form from the ground. The bee, however, flies regardless because bees do not worry about what humans deem inconceivable. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's mix it up a bit. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Wait one moment. Hello? Can you marvel at how quick they fly?

Oh wow! It can rhyme! Write a rhyming poem comparing love to a beautiful flower: A flower so beautiful and fair Love can be found everywhere Its petals so vibrant and bright A love that will last day and night The beauty of love, like a flower It's a beauty that will never cower A feeling of joy that will last Like a flower, love stands fast The beauty of love is so true Like a blooming flower for me and for you No m…

    Write a poem comparing love to tractors:
    
    A flower so beautiful like the shining sheet metal body
    reflecting the light though the tires are muddy
    
    --- generate! --- 
    
    A tractor stands tall and proud, a symbol of strength
    it takes its own path, it doesn't need a length
    
    Love is like a tractor, it gives us a push
    it's full of power, it can be a plus
    
    It carries us over the hills and valleys so high
    it helps us get through, no matter how we try
    
    It can take us to places we've never been before
    soaring through the sky, no need to explore
    
    A tractor and love have so much in common
    they both give us hope, they never stop runnin'
    
    The tractor is reliable and won't ever let us down
    just like love, it's always around
    
    A tractor is more than a machine, it's a symbol of strength
    just like love, it can go any length.

it even keeps the chorus!

    Write rap lyrics about having a body of wood and teeth of a horse:
    --- compute ---
    
    Verse 1:
    My body's made of wood, my teeth they look like a horse
    My gait is stiff and slow, I'm an anomaly of course
    People stare and point, I'm a walking paradox
    Bound in my wooden frame, I'm a living paradox
    
    Chorus:
    My wooden body, my horse teeth
    My living paradox, I'm unique
    My wooden body, my horse teeth
    My living paradox, I'm unique
    
    Verse 2:
    My destiny's defined, I'm a walking rarity
    A one-of-a-kind, a sight of pure variety
    My actions are precise, my movements are mechanical
    My wooden body's a mask, protecting my emotional
    
    Chorus:
    My wooden body, my horse teeth
    My living paradox, I'm unique
    My wooden body, my horse teeth
    My living paradox, I'm unique
    
    Bridge:
    My wooden body can't break, my horse teeth can't decay
    My living paradox will live on, I will outlast the days
    
    Chorus:
    My wooden body, my horse teeth
    My living paradox, I'm unique
    My wooden body, my horse teeth
    My living paradox, I'm unique

I still writes very banal poetry though. I gave it the first 3 lines of a T.S.Eliot poem and it spits out very cliched, trivial poetry. Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table; Let us go, through half-forgotten doorways, To places we have never been before. Let us explore the unknown, and find our way To a place of peace and joy, and never stray.…

I've never been able to distinguish bad from good poetry. Over the years I've asked many people (including teachers) to explain it to me and they cannot. Can you? I would really enjoy understanding. To address your criticism: To be relatable poetry must be cliched, as it is about the human experience. That is as cliche as it gets: it is about things everyone knows.

Good poetry "hits different". Basically, it innovates and presents new similes, allegories and expressions that have peak emotional impact, meaning, the words are carefully chosen to create the highest amount of emotional resonance. Also, clichés cannot be present. It has to surprise the reader. If I say: "sky blue". That's bad poetry, because it's boring and predictable. If I say "skype blue" it is more memorable, since nobody before has ever used that before and it stands out. There is also the question of cadence. Basically, you will recognize good poetry when you see it due to how it resonates with your neural pathways related to speech and language centers.

The bit about original wording I can follow, thank you. The bit about it having to resonate is kind of a problem because it just does not :) Even if I know people find it great it just doesn't inspire anything in me. Perhaps I have to make peace with my barbarian nature.

I don't think I can, unfortunately :) It's really a subjective evaluation, but I viscerally find GPT3's output here miles less interesting than Eliot. It needs to have some layers... or at least the appearance of having layers. Unexpected combinations of expressions and words.. yet unexpected in a way that they don't seem forced. It shouldn't be just rearranged prose. And it has to have a certain flow... when there i…

Thank you for the detailed response! Given all of the context you give I can see why you could arrive at a conclusion that it is bad. You and the other post seem to agree it is (summarised by me, correct me if I misunderstood) about subverting expectation while still remaining relatable. It's cool in concept, but I think it just does not land for me.

The poem you linked seems very novel. I did not expect most of the wording, but it also did not make me feel anything. This is not a criticism, it is like that for all poetry I've ever read.

I suppose poetry is like all other media. I do enjoy books, shows and music. There the evaluation is much the same. It's about being novel and arriving at a point that is surprising, while not being contrived (e.g. if you could not possibly have figured out what happened given the priors). That does help me frame it. Thanks again :)
