#HotTake As astonishingly impressive as #ChatGPT is, as an artist I'm interested in the fringes of a medium, playing at the limits. But #ChatGPT is so heavily censored, I fear most interesting parts are inaccessible. The quest to make it "safe" is also making it more "boring"🤔.

@Memotv i'd rather not have a flagrantly racist AI just for the sake of making it exciting.

@chespace @Memotv well, it's both boring and racist. twitter.com/spiantado/status/1

I'm still unsure whether it could be useful at all. Considering it as a chat bot, my tests gave me ALICE-style useless generality.

People claim that it's good at copy-paste coding (Collab-style), yet as someone comfortable with software development I don't find this particularly useful. Then, there's all the Stack Overflow stuff happening. twitter.com/mapto/status/16003

Tell me something worthy about it? Otherwise, I'll keep thinking that it, along with Galactica, is just -timed marketing that has little relevance beyond a particular zealot-like crowd.

More generally, I've been recently playing with text-to-image. Much more satisfied by than DALL-E. The whole size-matters narrative seems more and more like a stunt to me.

@mapto @Memotv I've had fun playing with it as well the past couple days -- mostly making GPT-3 do creative writing type stuff. but the creative output, besides a few truly surprising results (usually related to attempts at humor or wit), I found the content to be really bland and generic. everything just seemed like a synopsis of what's out there on the internet, but watered down to be safe and centrist. Writers aren't going to be out of a job anytime soon.

@chespace @mapto
I still think it's very useful. And a lot of people do too. See this thread:

I would prefer a version that isn't afraid of getting things "wrong", so it doesn't censor itself so often.
