GPT Unicorn: A Daily Exploration of GPT-4's Image Generation
Capabilities

Published on 10 April 2023 at 16:17 by Adam

The idea behind GPT Unicorn is quite simple: every day, GPT-4 will be
asked to draw a unicorn in SVG format. This daily interaction with
the model will allow us to observe changes in the model over time, as
reflected in the output.

Why unicorns? Well, the inspiration comes from the paper Sparks of
Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4 by
Sebastien Bubeck and others, in which they use the prompt "Draw a
unicorn in TiKZ" to compare unicorn drawings and note how fine-tuning
the GPT-4 model for safety caused the image quality to deteriorate.

By using SVG instead of TiKZ, I hope to see a similar evolution in
the sophistication of GPT-4's drawings as the system is refined.

You can find the daily images on the GPT Unicorn project site and
find the code on GitHub.

Tracking Progress and Understanding GPT-4

As I mentioned, one of the primary objectives of GPT Unicorn is to
track the progress and development of GPT-4. By generating a new
unicorn drawing every day, we can observe how the model evolves and
improves over time, offering unique insights into its capabilities.

But GPT Unicorn is more than just a fun experiment; it also serves as
an informal evaluation of GPT-4's intelligence. By continuously
asking GPT-4 to perform a specific, challenging task, we can gauge
its ability to understand and connect topics, as well as perform
tasks that go beyond the typical scope of narrow AI systems.

Image Generation and Language Models

GPT Unicorn not only serves as an interesting exploration of GPT-4's
image generation capabilities but also highlights how these
capabilities fit into the broader evaluation of language models. By
generating images daily, we can assess GPT-4's ability to understand
and process visual information, as well as its ability to connect the
dots between language and visual representation. This adds another
layer to our understanding of the model's capabilities, taking us a
step closer to unraveling the intricacies of artificial general
intelligence.

To view the daily generated unicorn images and browse the archive of
previous drawings, head over to GPT Unicorn. You'll be able to
witness GPT-4's progress firsthand and join me in tracking the
evolution of this fascinating AI model.

Updates

Day 1-3: Not a great start, initial images looking rather
unrecognisable:

Day 4: Interesting shapes start to emerge, we can see the eyes, the
general shape, the head, and crucially, a horn:
