This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

ChatGPT will never reach this level of creative writing.

I understand that this is a joke, but you can open a keyboard on your phone and just select random word suggestions it gives you, because the result would be practically the same.

Raising llm's teperature gives you more chaotic token generation, rather than the abstract "creativeness". To be creative you actually gotta think, you know

So you're telling me higher temperatures means it's more like a monkey on a typewriter? So with a long enough period of time and enough chatgpts...

You stupid monkey (now I have the dankmus song stuck in my head)

Dental plan!

they never even had a chance past GPT-2

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Does anyone remember the incident where GPT-2 generated incredibly horny outputs?

Maybe someone at OpenAI conjured a Cummo onto the training servers. The thought of a 4Channer working at a tech company horrifies me though.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago

GPT creativity peaked with the bottles pit greentext

[–] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The only solution is to train LLMs on more 4chan content, surely there will be no side effects from that.

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 weeks ago

Basically Grock then.

Dobby doesn't want this sock...

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Master has given Dobby a sock? owo

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

I roll to push Dobby into the glue trap.

Still not the most disturbing fanfiction premise i’ve ever seen.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

HP fanfic has no limit. I know of at least one that actually spawned a cult that has killed people.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm curious now, do you have a link?

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 8 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

It's a fuck off massive rabbit hole, but look up "harry potter and the methods of rationality", and then read about the zizians

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, that's quite a read.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 4 weeks ago

It is a dire amount of ink spilled in service of bullshit and, ultimately, murder. If your time has any value at all to you or your loved ones, I will gently suggest one of the podcasts that go over it. Behind the Bastards did a pretty okay job.

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh wow... I liked Methods of Rationality... Didn't know it spawned a death cult somehow...

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I was shocked too. I was fortunate enough to read it and merely think "Huh... That was amusing. Anyway, back to Doctorow and Stephenson." Apparently a fair few of EY's readers were all "this is my life now"

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't really care as long as it's not the author starting a death cult, but it was an interesting read

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 2 points 4 weeks ago

I can't make the claim that "the author started a death cult", but I will say that they and their followers are closely patterned from the self-help grift template of endless seminars, and their ideology centres on moral absolutes and arguments that are intended to be so compelling that they describe some of their ideas as an "infohazard".

Using only pop culture and fiction as primary sources, the "rationalism" subculture intended to create a system of ideas that was undeniable, according to its own logic - and then they accidentally spawned subcultures due to differences that were irreconcilable because of (I feel) their own absolutism. And if you follow these things, a subculture within a subculture is, 7 or of 10 times, a cult.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

Some of the more, shall we say, dedicated HP fans seem to genuinely struggle to understand that it's a story, and never happened.

If ever there was a fandom to go off the deep end like that, it's Harry Potter.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Definitely wouldn't be Neville doing it

Or at least he wouldn't be hitting his intended target

His pants perpetually have stains on the crotch.

Here is a anon who knows almost nothing. Just like the rest of them.

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I will never interact with the works again, but even I know Diddledore would award Griffindor points for this.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Where's the Testis Tortius spell?

[–] Xande@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

And the Mammalis Expandis?
