I was supposed to be making a video game, but got a bit sidetracked when DALL·E came out and made this website on the side: http://dailywrong.com/ (yes I should get SSL).

It's like The Onion, but all the articles are made with GPT-3 and DALL·E. I start with an interesting DALL·E image, then describe it to GPT-3 and ask it for an Onion-like article on the topic. The results are surprisingly good.

Somehow these articles are more readable than typical AI-generated search engine fodder... Is it because I'm entering the site with an expectation of nonsense?
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by slavak on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @03:50PM (#32171227)
Probably because, by the creator's own admission, the articles are heavily cherry-picked to make sure the output is decent, which is probably a lot more human effort than goes into the aforementioned search engine fodder.

I would guess that most Spam farms are not using openAI davinci model which is really really good, but expensive. Just a guess.
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by Cthulhu_ on Thursday July 21, 2022 @08:12AM (#32178398)
That's... so weirdly ironic I can't even! Blogspam websites are made by real humans with little oversight, while a literal AI with oversight generates better results.

That said, with a little tweaking, these technologies can - and probably already are - being used to churn out blogspam websites left and right, fully automatic.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by aantix on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @02:17PM (#32169946)
Feels like the headlines could be generated similar to the style of "They Fight Crime!"

"He's a hate-fuelled neurotic farmboy searching for his wife's true killer. She's a tortured insomniac snake charmer from a family of eight older brothers. They fight crime!"

https://theyfightcrime.org/

Here's an implementation in Perl.

The results with things that are artworks or more general concepts are fascinating, but there is for sure something creepy with "photorealistic" human eyes and faces going on...

If you want to see some really creepy AI generated human "photo" faces, take a look at Bots of New York:

Unfortunately the content of that project is a hostage of Facebook now - similar to ransomware gangsters they force you to do something to get the data, in this case you need to create an account and take part in that global surveillance network. I do not understand why people do that.
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by scrollaway on Thursday July 21, 2022 @06:31AM (#32177678)
Hyperbole will get you nowhere good (Just ask RMS).

How about wording your comment in a way that highlights why it’s a shame these pictures aren’t accessible for those without a Facebook account, and skip the whole “you’re murdering puppies” bit?

From the server IP looks like you're on some managed WordPress hosting that only offers free SSL on the more 'premium' packages.

Easiest way for free SSL would be to just throw the domain on CloudFlare :)

We joke about it, but an early and very cheap robotic floor cleaner I had was one of those weasel balls constrained in a flat ring harness with a dusting cloth underneath. It was entertaining and not completely useless.

Put a guinea pig in there and you'd get the same effect.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by tildef on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @02:17PM (#32169953)
Actually got a chuckle out of the duck one (http://dailywrong.com/man-finally-comfortable-just-holding-a...). Thanks! I hope your keep generating them. Kind of wish there weren't a newsletter nag, but on the other hand it adds to the realism. Could be worthwhile to generate the text of the nag with gpt too; call it a kind of lampshading.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by drusepth on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @04:23PM (#32171759)
Haha, I was in a very similar boat when I built https://novelgens.com -- I was also supposed to be making a video game, but got a bit sidetracked with VQGAN+CLIP and other text/image generation models.

Now I'm using that content in the video game. I wonder if you could use these articles as some fake news in your game, too. :)

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by busyant on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @02:07PM (#32169821)
This is clever. Does GPT-3 come up with the title of the article, too? That's the funniest part.
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by bemmu on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @02:13PM (#32169910)
At first I came up with them myself, but found that it often comes up with better ones, so I ask it for variations.

I think I got it to even fill the title given a picture, something like “Article picture caption: Man holding an apple. Article title: ...”. Might experiment more with that in the future.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by sillysaurusx on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @05:06PM (#32172328)
How do you prompt GPT-3 to come up with the titles? That’s an interesting problem.
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by busyant on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @03:12PM (#32170727)
Well, then I'm impressed with GPT-3's ability to generate those titles!

The combination of photo/title feels like they come from the more absurd articles published by theonion.

If we aren't living in a simulation, it's just a matter of time...

It's already a thing:

but yea, it will have generated images now.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by aasasd on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @10:56PM (#32175262)
Hmmm, these seem less deranged than headings from the previous Markov-chain bots—and kinda less interesting because of that.

I guess Markov chains for the headings, Dall-E for images, maybe GPTx for comments. And/or the GPT models should be made wackier somehow—less coherent, perhaps.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by lancesells on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @02:45PM (#32170376)
I think it's because it's using images of babies with soap on their face to learn. Still funny though!

This a fucking fantastic site, it’s absolutely hilarious, and I’ve bookmarked it - I kinda unironically want to set it as my home page - but just a heads up that the CSS is broken for me on my iPhone SE2.

The images don’t scale properly with the rest of the site, they’re massive compared to the content.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by czhu12 on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @07:22PM (#32173716)
These results are pretty amazing. Are these cherry picked / curated / edited at all?
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by pontusrehula on Thursday July 21, 2022 @01:16AM (#32176006)
Yes they are heavily cherry picked. The web site itself has a disclaimer about it.

Re:DALL·E now available in beta by Aeolun on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @08:56PM (#32174488)
I’m curious, if they’re only making DALL-E accessible now, and if GPT-3 was never really accessible (as far as I know). How do you have access to these things to generate text and images?
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by muzani on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @09:50PM (#32174843)
There's no waitlist for GPT-3 now. DALL-E is an unrelated product; you don't need access to both.
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by blackoil on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @09:36PM (#32174745)
DALL-E was accessible by invite/waiting queue. GPT-3 is available for pretty long.
Re:DALL·E now available in beta by sabertoothed on Thursday July 21, 2022 @06:35AM (#32177704)

How do you generate the original image? And what about the subsequent images, do they come automatically from the text? I'd love to know more about the process.
