I was just demonstrating its capabilities to a client. I asked GPT 4 to summarise a cloud product in the style of Encyclopaedia Dramatica, and it came up with a unique phrase not seen on the Internet when talking about auto-scale: “It’ll take your wallet on a roller coaster ride.”

What’s brilliant about this is that typically auto scaling metrics look like a stereotypical roller coaster track with the daily ups and downs!

That’s a genuinely funny, insightful, bespoke, and stylistically correct joke.

Tell me that that is not intelligence!

There's a certain amount of cosmic irony involved whenever someone calls LLMs 'stochastic parrots' or whatever.

How do you know this was unique and not picked up in its training set?

I searched Google for a few variations and turned up nothing.
