GPT2, Counting Consciousness and the Curious Hacker
GPT2, Counting Consciousness and the Curious Hacker
Disclaimer: I would like it to be made very clear that I am absolutely 100% open to the idea that I am wrong about anything in this post. The same generality that lets GPT2 create hilariously dadaist erotic fanfics about your friends also means it can do lots of less frivolous things: Fake reviews, inflammatory political messages (it loves to talk about Brexit) and other things the internet already has way too much of. The argument is that, using a technology such as GPT2, we aren’t engaging in a wholly new activity per se, but we are lowering the cost to generate convincing text.
