“GPT-3 Creative Fiction § Navy Seal Copypasta Parodies”, Gwern2020-06-19 (, , , , )⁠:

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.

The copypasta lends itself to be written in many domains (see the /r/NavySealCopypasta). Generating new versions of the Navy Seal copypasta is fine, but can we generate different kinds of Navy Seal copypastas on other topics? The literary parodies suggest that we can, and it turns out to be quite easy if we simply provide a few examples to enable few-shot learning. (Simply specifying the request zero-shot didn’t work for the prompts I tried.) It’s quite amusing and addictive watching GPT-3 parody different topics, and occasionally suggesting new ones. Below are 27+ Navy Seal copypasta parodies written by GPT-3.
