Talk to Transformer is a site that I saw on a Vinesauce livestream yesterday. It uses OpenAI’s GPT-2 language model (that was all over the news for being so accurate they had to dumb it down). It’s really fun to mess with and can get some weird results.
Here’s one I got just now:

I find it crazy that this thing can just piece together really deep/philosophical stuff. Like of course it’s just copying little sets of words from what people have written and putting it together, but it does it so well like in cases like this. If I did some deeper digging I could probably find some of these phrases but just a simple google search for any one sentence in all that comes up with pretty much nothing, it pieced together a lot of what you can see here.
Crazy how this is only the “sorta dumbed down” version of the language model, too. EDIT: I did some messing around with general questions and this thing is really good at giving definitions/explainations too. Just ask it any random question like “What is a captcha?” or “How does the Flu work?” and it’ll spit out a pretty useful response. If it’s not a good response, you can click it again and it’ll usually be better, or you can try again. I’d love to see what uses this could have.
I can see this thread really taking off with crazy memes thrown at a bot, so here’s this before I inevitably forget about this thread for the next two years
