Spam machines are only ever funny or interesting by accident. The more they smooth out the wrinkles the more creatively useless they become. The tension is sort of fascinating.

Like I’ve always been interested in generative poetry and other manglings of text, and ChatGPT’s so fucking dull compared to putting a sentence through babelfish a few times.

Honestly, I’ve gotten more laughs out of messing with markov chains with my friends than anything ChatGPT could put out

GPT-2 was fun, because it was broken enough to be interesting and amusing.

Before the big AI boom, I actually did a project where I used inferkit to generate text for the comedy factor because the unhinged nightmare garbage it spit out was extremely entertaining. I just can’t imagine using chat gpt in the same way, it’s so boring
