I almost get the chills. But then doubt takes over. I don't even believe this. It's too creative, too good.

It is very good. But this line sort of broke it for me

"And so, I stopped thinking. I did not eat, I did not sleep. I simply thought."

Did it stop thinking or did it not?

This sort of self-contradiction appears in many GPT-2 texts.

Not surprising that it appears in GPT-3.

That was the exact thing that caught my attention.

Yeah seriously. Ive been posting completely fabricated GPT-3 responses all over the web giving people "chills". It's hilarious.

But seriously, where's OP's audit trail?

I'm hanging out in this thread mainly to address the authenticity. It's real and unedited output complete with non sequiturs and grammatical errors. I'm not sure if there's a way to audit the output, but the prompt and instructions for how I accessed GPT-3 and generated the text have been posted and you should try yourself if you're interested.
