|
| I just made it write a skit between r/wallstreetbets and
| Bill Burr during the GME saga... it was not as funny as
| when I then asked it to write a skit where Bill starts
| shilling for it.
|
| It might have been something the film adaptation of Wolf of
| Wall street left on the cutting room floor, even down to
| the facial descriptors. Try it for yourself, its pretty
| silly, but so was Wolf of Wall street, and I read the book
| after the movie because I was told it had more gonzo-like
| story telling.

| I never got access to DALLE, so I will never know for
| sure, but this is disrupting visual learning/story
| telling in real time, so this coupled with a decent sized
| social media followers and pateron that tech is finally
| delivering on what the Internet was promising since the
| days of Geo-sites.
|
| I think writing children's books for example has just
| gotten easier than ever for a very accessible price
| (~$15).

| wfhBrian wrote:
| This is incredibly underwhelming.
|
| It's literally just text inputs.
|
| Each is connected to a prompt and uses content from the previous
| text input to complete a the prompt for the next input. Inputs
| are editable at each stage. AKA Prompt chaining.
|
| The "Settings" prompt returned nothing. And the "dialogue" prompt
| hung up, still saying "Generating..." for five minutes now. And
| there isn't any other option but to refresh the page.
|
| Still going to check out the attached 100-page research paper,
| but not as urgently since testing out the app.

| Anyone here have experience with it?
