Re:Show HN: Build-your-own bedtime story generator on Wednesday November 02, 2022 @01:02PM (#33439181)
We’re Matt and Eric and we want to share the joys of AI storytelling. We know many in the HN community have played with generative models, but maybe not in the context of creative writing.

So we built InfiniteMonkeys, a super simple web app that uses GPT-3 with parameters tuned to generate entertaining short stories, and text-to-speech to read aloud to you. We hope it makes you chuckle!

Building this was also a ton of fun, and showed us how frictionless it is to turn ideas into simple web apps these days. The MVP only took 1 day to build. For a behind-the-scenes breakdown of how we did it, see: https://medium.com/@mjbleong/87e061e18baf
