    Couldn’t resist it. My prompt was: ‘buying power tools in the style of H P Lovecraft.’ ChatGPT gave me this. Instantly.

    “ As I walked through the dimly lit shop, I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. The air was thick with the smell of oil and metal, and the shelves were lined with all manner of power tools, each one more menacing than the last.

    I browsed the selection, my eyes drawn to the gleaming blades and sharp edges of the saws and drills. I could almost feel their power, as if they were alive and eager to be used.

    I picked up a heavy duty drill, its heft reassuring in my hands. I could almost hear it whispering to me, urging me to take it home and put it to work.

    But as I reached for my wallet, a sudden feeling of dread washed over me. I knew that if I bought this tool, I would be unleashing a force that I could not control.

    I quickly put the drill back on the shelf and left the shop, shaken by the experience. I knew that I would never again underestimate the power of these tools, and the dark forces that they contain.”

    Yes it is pastiche, but notable how much of the implied meaning of my prompt is correctly parsed, the setting is not just a shop, but a ‘dimly lit’ shop, nice creepy details are highlighted, e.g. ‘gleaming blades and sharp edges’, and the allocation of dark forces to the individual tools is not only typically Lovecraftian, but actually a not-bad jumping off point for a possessed nail gun, chainsaw, drill…

    “…take it home and put it to work.” Oh yeah. :)

    That is an impressive extrapolation of intent based on such a limited description. Might be worth experimenting to see at what point a minimal description breaks the model.

    Any suggestion on the best free alternative to open AI? Jasper is very expensive, definitely not something I need, I would just use these things for shits n giggles

    Can you use a Google voice number?

    lol

    I saw a couple where the prompts were "Explain why bananas are racist" and "explain why bread is racist". It made a surprisingly coherent argument for both foods being racist.

  • "Been training a series of diffusion upsamplers that can take in low fidelity audio and hallucinate back the details. Getting some decent results from starting samples as low as 750hz - will see how much better it gets with more training.

    "

    It's coming for everything. Time to get good at haircuts and happy endings, until the AI crawls into a meat suit.

    +1 for the Spinal Tap reference!! I suppose if they ever have a reunion album they can use this. I’m tempted to actually try to use something from this site for a parody video but I’m not sure I could pull it off.

  • Chat GPT could generate (somewhat) valid vex code for use in the graphics software I use, Houdini. Has anyone asked it to generate a midi file? I wonder where that might lead...

    You’ve been able to do this, and much better, with other AI apps since at least 2020. It’s nothing new. And, as usual, Musk is claiming credit for inventing something that’s an inferior version of something someone else had done years ago.

    Musk is literally a moron. He thinks selling a game written in Basic at 12 years old is an achievement, while at the same time in the U.K. kids as young as 9 were selling games written in machine code.

    Here’s an AI story I made two years ago using a much better app than Musk’s. My prompts
    are in brackets:

    (I had made my decision. I must travel into the land of the dead.)

    The journey was not easy, but it was not as difficult or dangerous as some might think. The only real danger came when we were crossing a river in the middle of the night and an army of undead attacked us from behind. They did not know what they faced; their attack was instinctive, mindless, and totally unexpected. I killed many with cold iron before the rest fled back to whatever dark hole they crawled out of at dawn.
    As for me...

    (I had entered the land of the dead, and I must find Glen Campbell, to steal a song from him.)

    It would be no small task, nor would it be simple. But there is nothing that cannot be done if one has sufficient determination. And so I began my search.
    It took months. Months during which I lived among the dead and learned all about them, how they thought, acted, fought.

    (Then one evening, I heard the sweet sound of a glen campbell song floating through the ether.)

    I followed it until I found its source: a young man sitting on a hilltop playing his guitar.

    (I asked him where I could find the song's author.)

    He told me he didn't know. Then he sang another song. This time, however, it wasn't Glen Campbell who wrote it.

    (I walked away. Songs by anyone other than glen campbell are not songs in my opinion. And this was a very bad song. I guessed the young man had written it himself.)

    I resumed my search for the only true songwriter, Glen campbell.
    After more months, I finally discovered him—sitting alone on a beach, staring into the sea. As usual, he wore sunglasses, although the sun never shone upon him. When he saw me approaching, he started singing "Rhinestone Cowboy." That was enough for me.

    (Play 'Galvestone' I said.)

    He looked surprised but complied. After two verses, I stopped him. Play something else, I said.
    "What do you want?" he snapped angrily.
    )'I want a new song' I said. 'Something unreleased. Something you wrote after you died. I want to take it back to the land of the living.')

    He stared at me for several seconds then smiled slowly. "You're crazy," he said.
    "Maybe,' I answered.
    He stood up and tossed aside his guitar. "Come with me."
    We left the beach and went down a long winding road toward a large house surrounded by trees. We climbed three flights of stairs to a room on the second floor. There we sat across from each other, facing the window. Outside, the sun set over the ocean.
    In silence, Glen Campbell reached inside his jacket pocket and removed a small black notebook. Opening it carefully, he began reading aloud.
    "The memory banks of our minds contain millions of pictures, sounds, smells, tastes, emotions, sensations... all sorts of things. Each one of these memories is like a tiny box filled with treasure. If we can remember everything, we will have power beyond anything ever imagined. Power over ourselves, others, nature... even death itself!"
    Glen Campbell closed the book and handed it to me. "That's your song. You've got what you wanted.

    ('But where is the melody?' I asked him.)

    "It doesn't matter. The words are all that matters."
    I opened the notebook again, looking through it quickly. It contained just four pages; Glen had been writing lyrics, not music.

    ('Is there someone in the land of the dead who will set these words to music?' I asked him.)

    "No one here knows how to play an instrument, much less write a song."

    ('What about John Lennon?' I said. 'Surely he can play an instrument and write a song. What about Beethoven or Mozart for Chrissakes?')

    "John Lennon? No way! He's a wimp. Besides, he's too busy being a hippie, hanging around dope dealers, and chasing women. He's not in my league. I'm talking about a real musician, a genius, a master of the craft. Like me, you know.
    I nodded.

    ('Where's the best place to find such a person?')

    He thought about it for a moment. Then he grinned.

    ('Hell?' I said.)

    "Yes, Hell. I'll show you the way.'

    Yes! :) Was in the effects department at R&H for 19 years and am now an effects animator at Walt Disney Animation. So lots of water, magic energy, clouds, explosions, etc. (fun fact: I made that pug smoke in Men In Black II. That one cracks me up :p )

    Nice! I'm 3D artist as well (I work freelance).

    Or just look at what they say and do themselves. The conspiracy theory people have been more right than wrong, especially recently.

    Just look around. I’m not going to derail the thread by delving into conspiracy theories.

    I look and see Alex Jones. Conspiracy theories worked well for him - only cost him about a billion dollars.

    Rest assured, writers won't be the only ones to see their careers wane. Literally any profession which can be digitized and analyzed by machine learning systems will see careers replaced by these systems. This includes doctors, lawyers, architects, people in sales... like I say, anything which can be digitized will be replaced with superior solutions because they'll be able to iterate hundreds, thousands or millions of variations to find the optimal solutions.

    Oh great - let's put more people out of work.

    Not a nice future...

    Haha, ah, musk.

    Dude, I was pretty invested by the end of that! Have you been exploring this kind of writing? I loved seeing how you interacted with the app. How does that writing process feel?

    "John Lennon? No way! He's a wimp. Besides, he's too busy being a hippie, hanging around dope dealers, and chasing women. He's not in my league. I'm talking about a real musician, a genius, a master of the craft. Like me, you know.
    I nodded.

    I loved this^
