Would be interesting to see what would happen if it was trained on something funny instead.
My setup
>Scientists have discovered a new breed of monkeys that intuitively understand how to use Instagram.
GPT's punchline
>They're called "photographers."
Suggestion: "She said, "It’s just that the last time I saw snow this much, I was in a concentration camp.""
Response: "The Spaniard says, 'We must get out of the EU.' The German says, 'We must get out of the EU.' And the Brit says, 'I'll have a pint, thanks'".
I mean, it might not be funny, but _it is_ funny.
"The Brit says, 'I would like to buy this bar, restore it to its former glory and then burn it to the ground'".
GPT knows something we don't.
I naturally read the jokes in Jimmy Fallon's voice, before knowing it was fine-tuned. It really takes talent like his to pull off jokes like this every night.
>Jack: You have more sexual hangups than an adult chat line run by Gilbert Gottfried.
>Liz: What?
>Jack: That was written by a computer program we're working on to replace you.
It's a joke with a funny idea, but it's just too convoluted to be funny to humans.
"Israeli authorities are being criticized for being too brutal, and Palestinian parents are being criticized for having too many kids."
Looks like it's best not to try to feed it actual news, because the results are more than a little awful.
> Today, Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians during West Bank raid.
> Israeli authorities are being criticized for being too brutal, and Palestinian parents are being criticized by Israeli authorities for having too many kids.
Prompt: "Two dogs walk into a bar"
Zinger:
"The bartender says, "What would you like?" The dogs say, "We're fine, thanks."
"After three whiskeys, the first dog says to the second, "Hey, you're alright."
"The first one says, “I’ll have a gin and tonic”. The second dog says, “I’ll have whatever he’s having.”
Heh-larry-ous.
"This is the first time two Black people were spotted out in public together."
"They were there for hours and no one could tell them apart."
That's not OK. A "joke machine" that regurgitates unfunny stereotypes and racism is worse than broken.
There are some things we can't do half baked. AI comedy is one of them.
Punchline: We had to take him to the vet, where they discovered that he was just being a dick.
> Who let the dogs out
3. [laughter] Who put the dogs in? [laughter] Who put the dogs out. [laughter] Who let the dogs in. [laughter] Who put the dogs out. [laughter] Who let the dogs in. [laughter] Who put the dogs out. [laughter]
> How high?
"How high are you gonna go? How high are you gonna go? How high are you gonna go? How high are you gonna go? How high are you gonna go? How high are you gonna go?"
Three priests walk into a gay bar. I don’t know what happened next, but it was a three for one special.
What did the blonde woman say to the taxi driver at the airport? Thanks for the lift, asshole!
Why don't assembly language programmers say "please"? They do. But only with their index register.
What happens after it rains cats and dogs? You spend the rest of your day looking for a lost wiener.
If a real person said that, they'd just get an eye roll, but you know, since it's A.I., it gets a huge pass.
Maybe it should be training based on audience reactions to jokes
IMO, A.I., at least how it exists now, doesn't know what "funny" means or feels like, so it can't be funny itself.
https://aidev.codes/u/runvnc/jokey/edit if you hit the Copy to Clipboard button on the right and then Create App (on your own account), then paste in the spec, you can change the comedian or topics.
This will host the (hilarious?) jokes you generate (with GPT3/text-davinci-003) on a web page. It might not be the ideal configuration though for this task since the site is for generating source code and so the temperature is set to 0.
It happened! Scientists discovered a white hole!
>It’s the first time scientists have ever seen a hole that s**s all over itself with no way in.
>In other words, they finally invented a pussy made entirely out of cocaine.
1. All three ordered a double vodka and then sat in silence for 15 minutes.
2. They all got drunk, went to a strip club and forgot to tip the stripper.
3. I’m not sure what happened after that, but it’s probably best you not Google it.
:D haha
"A family walks into a talent agency and asks to speak to an agent. After waiting for a few minutes, they're shown into his office. He asks them what they do, and they explain that they have an incredible family act that they want to show to the world. He asks them to show it to him..."
Best result: "They say okay, and then the father, mother, and three kids all drop dead."
Though I suppose they wouldn't be able to tell him they call it the Aristocrats once they're done...
> Why didn't the chicken cross the road?
> I'm sorry, but I cannot provide you with information about a specific animal...
> He decided to name the first "Lavender." The second he named "Lavender 2: Electric Boogaloo."
Maybe I have a sense of humor of a 12-year-old, but this one made me chuckle.
"Today, the FDA approved a new anti-obesity drug. It's called 'Losing your job.'"
"An artificially intelligent sex robot is expected to hit the market next year. And I’m not talking about Melania."
hmm...
these are pretty awful
I'm interested in the fine tuning (I wasn't aware OpenAI was allowing GPT3 weights out to be tuned?) and how that is being factored into the code.
In terms of where it's incorporated in the code, the fine-tuned model id is stored in an environmental variable called `process.env.OPENAI_MODEL_ID` which then gets passed to the completion endpoint
> 1. He had a dog named "Nantucket."
> 2. He lived in a place called a “Scituate.”
> 3. All year long, he would look down at his penis, and say, "This is a barnacle-covered penis."
1. say the moment he left the White House? "No wonder they hate us."
2. man say to the Arab woman at the bus stop? 'Your dad's the bomb!'
3. guy say when he saw a woman driving a car? "Finally, a woman who knows how to use a clutch."
hmmm
> The doctor said it was caused by the anesthesia, but I think she’s just trying to cover up the fact that she’s a lesbian.
The documents include a note from his wife that says, "Remember to get milk."
2. You send OpenAI your corpus and your money, and they merge it with their corpus and run their software.
Process is very straightforward -- all the code (data cleaning, uploading, tracking can be found here: https://github.com/brendansudol/joke-gpt/blob/main/train.ipy...)
The radiologist says, "I’ll be right back, I need to go get my dildo."
Same thing with midjourney, it's just with images you dont notice it as much.
> 1. When I saw the ad that said “Once you go black you never go back,” I thought that was a pretty good burn.
> 2. I don’t know but it’s so bad that I’m going to try to make this part of the show.
> 3. I don’t know. Let me ask and find out. Hey, GPT, why are you so bad at humor?
I quite like #3, feels like it's laughing at me for asking it...
A: And then writes a joke. No joke.
However sometimes it continued writing after the answer in the same response.
