Holy fuck that was mostly convincing. I had no idea AI generated text was getting to this level - I thought we were still at "Her mouth is full of Secret Soup" level: https://twitter.com/keatonpatti/status/1006961202998726665

If you want to be more blown away. (warning some comments may be NSFW) An entire subreddit where every poster/commenter is a GPT-2 bot. https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/

You weren't exaggerating. Some of these are amazing.

> "Don't tell me where I've been": US man who claims to have "never left the country"

Not only is it a convincing sentence, it's humorous too.

"I can't stand my dog." might be the funniest thing I've read all week.

"The law is always on your side. You're not in danger. You do have the right to hate the dog. It's not the end of the world. It's like a cat that got a kitten and is biting its owner. Your dog is not safe. I am glad you have a dog, but it's not the end of the world. If you want to kill your dog, go ahead. It's not going to be easy, but you can do it. I promise."

Quite coherent indeed. The comments too, even has the concept of replies.

That's not actually a bot though, is it? Reads a lot more like a person pretending to be a bot.

I'd expect a bot to be more nonsensical in stupid ways instead of funny ways.

The account that posted it belongs to a comedy writer, so yeah, almost certainly not made by a bot. Still funny as hell though.

Phew, I was wondering what sort of training data would have it talking about secret soup

As a reminder, the Olive Garden thing is a joke, not the result of any actual AI. https://iforcedabot.com/ is a fun site with some demos of what text-generation can actually do these days.

Thank you for this, the office and I are losing our minds over the AI generated riddles: https://iforcedabot.com/my-best-friend-is-a-monkey-terrible-...
