me: i wonder what would happen if i trained the neural net gpt-2 on christmas carols?

me: ...

me: oh NO
aiweirdness.com/post/189845472… Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, with its red belly<br /> The All-gracious King of all the earth,<br /> Had a baby at Christmas time,<br /> On Christmas Day,<br /> A true and holy Deity,<br /> Went down to earth,<br /> With human flesh for sacrifice.<br /> <br /> For sinful men such a Deity doth appear,<br /> And wink and nod in reply,<br /> As he winked and nod in reply,<br /> As he winked and nod in reply<br /> <br /> The wretched world is run by ox and ass<br /> The wretched world is run by ox and
i mean i can see where it got confused

i had a much simpler neural net that wrote things like "he was born in a wonderful christmas tree" but i'd wondered if gpt-2 learned enough from its internet training to disentangle the two types of carols

instead it made it WORSE Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer<br /> Was born in a stable of roses<br /> The sweetest gift of all<br /> As for me<br /> He's the one who gave it Away<br /> It came to pass on Christmas Day<br /> While all through the house<br /> There were tears of joy<br /> And laughter resounded<br /> As the stars all shook in the moon<br /> They saw the sleigh<br /> And all of the house<br /> Spotted the wild goose<br /> That somehow rode along with the other<br /> <br /> The song of the goose<br /> As it flew by<br /> In a manger
the neural net seemed to have understood this type of christmas carol all too well Carol of the AI’s<br /> <br /> Come and own the yacht<br /> It’s a very special day,<br /> It’s a very special day<br /> <br /> We’re all so proud of you<br /> We’re buying this<br /> We’re buying this now<br /> <br /> Now it’s Christmas eve<br /> And everyone’s shouting<br /> “Santa Claus!”<br /> “HO HO HO!”<br /> <br /> It’s a very special day<br /> It’s a very special day<br /> It’s a very special day
neural net carols may be even weirder than some of those medieval carols Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer<br /> Was the best sleigh in all of Nantucket<br /> The horse was lean and tanned<br /> The woman was full of perfume<br /> The only thing keeping the goose from falling off the ground<br /> Was the reins<br /> Like strings of spaghetti<br /> And if you could just cut it down<br /> You could even make a bow<br /> Like a bow and arrow<br /> But if you wanted to make a bow you had to use a lot of power<br /> <br /> Right down to the little lamb<br /> Its red head w
the neural net version of santa claus is not quite the jolly old elf i remember

sort of interesting what it's drawing in from other lyrics it's seen online I'm the King<br /> <br /> What a silly season it's been.<br /> How did I come to be here? What do I care?<br /> Why do I care?<br /> I own this land.<br /> <br /> I'm the King of kings and mocks them,<br /> While the rest, go where you will.<br /> I'm not the type to mind a smoke,<br /> And even if I did, I'd rather you snort a small Island rather than me<br /> <br /> I know exactly what I'm doing. I know exactly what I'm doing.<br /> I'm hiding under the tree.<br /> I'm in a manger wrapped in ivy.
this is glorious beyond my wildest dreams
You can try something like this with talktotransformer.com although it hasn’t had the carol finetuning so it is even more unpredictable

Having trouble deciding what to bake? Here are some pies generated by a very confused neural net.
aiweirdness.com/post/189313008… Hot & Sour Apple Pie, <br /> Peach-pickle pie, <br /> Spiced Coconut Pizza Chiffon Pie,<br /> Tweezers, Olives, and Seafood Apple Pie,<br /> Fog-Crust Pecan Pie,<br /> Frozen Custard Pie with Three Glorious Chilies,<br /> Brandywine Schnoches, Applewool Pie,<br /> Meat Pie**,<br /> Onion Cassette Pie,<br /> Stimulant Cherry Pie,<br /> Cowdy-Doo Pie
Perhaps letting a neural net invent pies was not the wisest idea
aiweirdness.com/post/167736100… Lemon Chicken Meringue Pie<br /> Chicken Pineapple Cream Pie <br /> Mothy Mincemeat Cheese<br /> <br /> Cromberry Yaas <br /> Impossible Maple Spinach Apple Pie<br /> Caribou Meringue <br /> <br /> Cherry Pie with Cheese Fashions<br /> Mur’s Tartless Tart <br /> Strawberry Ham Pie
Turns out if you really want to confuse a neural net, train it on pie, d&d spells, and the 1905 edition of Apple of New York

Things neural networks are saying about my book!

Generated by a neural net @OpenAI trained on Amazon reviews. Text color is activity level of a neuron they discovered it was using to keep track of the review's sentiment.

(real facts about the book here: janelleshane.com/book-you-look-…) <br /> You Look Like A Thing And I Love You will stay in your cabinet, shelves, and cereal box!<br /> <br /> You Look Like A Thing And I Love You is a book that everyone should add to their collection. Fits beautifully but the pink tends to pitch the iron walls. Would like to be able to bake multiple and have milk sufficiently eaten<br /> <br /> You Look Like A Thing And I Love You is a book that literally took me by surprise. It is funny, intell
@OpenAI Real people are also saying nice things about my book!

So many nice things that my publisher @voraciousbooks added a book jacket to make room for it all!

Which also means there's room for Secret Giraffes inside the cover book jacket of You Look Like a Thing and I Love You
@OpenAI @voraciousbooks “Recommended for anyone who wants to better understand the strengths and limitations of artificial intelligence, but also for anyone who likes watching computers fail hilariously.”

"Excuse me everyone for tagging you.  I am reaching out to many as possible in re: to "wildfires in California.
The recent "wildfires" in Paradise, California 1000's of people died and 30,000 + homes destroyed. What most people don't know the "wildfires" are man-made. I will provide clips, links of evidence, what we're up against and a solution. The mainstream media has been downplaying...
...on the "wildfires" to keep us all ignorant for not knowing the truth.  This is a 4  part thread."

reading the wikipedia page for speech synthesis i fell into a rabbit hole following the history of "brazen heads": legendary bronze objects with supernatural foresight. i noticed a number of connections to contemporary issues in AI.
while golems and moving sculptures are typically mobile but speechless, brazen heads speak but are immobile. they don't follow the familiar plot of abusing their strength to run amok or destroy their creator.
one of the best known brazen heads was crafted by roger bacon in the 1200s, popularized in the 1500s. bacon wanted to protect england by surrounding it in a brass wall, and hoped to get advice from the head. mainlesson.com/display.php?au…

Dear @BBCR4Feedback
Tomorrow I will post a package of #StopBrexit paraphernalia to you
The materials are used by the Remain campaign & have been crowdfunded
I will also post prints of photos from the last 21 months (see thread below) so you can see what you haven't been covering
1/It has taken me several hours to compile nearly 2 years of photos from the #Remain campaign into this 22 page document, however i felt it necessary to do so in order to illustrate to the #BBC the extent and commitment of our campaign which you haven't been acknowledging.
