Creative writing by OpenAI’s GPT-3 model, demonstrating poetry, dialogue, puns, literary parodies, and storytelling. Plus advice on effective GPT-3 prompt programming & avoiding common errors.
A silly request I filled: what does GPT-3 complete if you prompt it solely with “A completely new kind of writing was created, here is a sample:”? Does it invent actually new kinds of writing, or what? For the most part, it seems to generate either cult/religious material, crankery, literary criticism, or computer science/technology-like material—all of which in retrospect make sense.
