Adventures in AI Text Generation: Blog Edition
I have done what nobody everybody was clamoring I do: I have downloaded three years of my Dreamwidth posts and trained an AI text generator on them!
I did remove all the locked posts from the training data, as I didn't want to have to carefully review the results.
What I have learned: I post a lot of links and pictures. Not that I didn't know it already, but the neural network loooooved the URLs and insisted on generating its own. Not posted here: all the fake Imgur links that go to a message reading "The image here no longer exists" or whatever their error message is.
Here's the samples it started spitting out as it was training:
Tiny is actually my first Gloomhaven character, a 7-foot-tall humanoid-ish male character who likes to bash things a lot.
The dataset contains all the sourdough posts I made, and thus the AI helpfully produced a recipe for sourdough. I do not recommend you follow this recipe.
And then back to blog posts again:
Tiny and I apparently have a Patreon. (I actually have one, but it's for my generators. I do not have a podcast with Tiny.)
And![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
yhlee is one of our patrons!
And I must apologize for this getting a little gross, but I think it thinksyhlee is a cat. I may name our next cat Yoonjoon HaHa anyway.
And then the generated text sort of ends with this, which seems an appropriate place to end today's experiment.
And on that note, I shall go hide in the closet.

Tiny and I finished Our First Virtual Machine [note: it generated a URL that goes nowhere] yesterday (May 4) and have just finished installing a few other virtual machines on it. Here is a video of them playing Call of Duty Black Ops: The Fall from the roof! We also got the machine hosting up and running in case the problem persists and we should get Call of Duty Black Ops 2 sometime this week! I can't believe my parents gave me this gift several months ago. I love it. Tiny got the machine running today so I am just officially recommending her to friends and families everywhere. :) She is a sweet, innocent little girl who loves Call of Duty and is going to be a wonderful mother to us all.

The Witcher of Grief and Punishment
And I seriously recommend getting a read by an experienced artist: Mark Twain's Book of the New Sun (yes, mine is titled Book of the New Sun), which I've read and recommend for the biggest budget but I've also come across--and experienced several--users of digital art as talent (and it's a nice, warm experience for them). You'll also find that Artology Daily's list of art museums and art organizations in the metroplex[another nonexistent URL]--the only other city in metroplex in which I've been able to find it! As usual, it's in alphabetical order.
"What's that?"
"That thing on the left?"
I turned around and saw D.Va running as fast as she could—slow enough that I could completely see the house as it was taking her—so I gave up.
I got on the bus and spent half an hour looking at the screen on my phone before I realized it was a GIF.
(Pssst, also note the pic of the cat.)
The dataset contains all the sourdough posts I made, and thus the AI helpfully produced a recipe for sourdough. I do not recommend you follow this recipe.
Sourdough 2.0
Just to show you which of the following sounds most closely approximated the sound of our starter, here's a ratio of 3 Tc to 100 Kg flour:
1 Tc flour: 1 Tc flour
1 Tc: 1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp smoothies (we skipped the salt because it would have spoiled the dough, and that's exactly what happened -- lots of browning, if you're familiar with AAH)
2 Tc sugar (definitely avoided the soda, since it was found in water, but it worked as a gentle acidic, but not necessary acidic.)
3 Tc water
3 Tc unsweetened cocoa powder
½ C powdered yeast strain (our yeast was tolerant of a little acid, so we tolerated it, even)
½ tsp baking soda
2 Tc water
2 tsp vanilla
Then mix them all up, cover a clean container, and let sit for 3 hours.
And then back to blog posts again:
In his book adding insult to injury, W40G puts a lot of time into sort of explaining some of the most important elements of a book, but I for one fell for the paragraphs in <publisher=""The Complete Lifestyle Coach Collection: Tips and Tricks</pub> so well choreographed and executed that it was difficult to believe that they actually existed.
Tiny and I apparently have a Patreon. (I actually have one, but it's for my generators. I do not have a podcast with Tiny.)
Also, I have spent the past few months being logged off and logged off my social media accounts. I was having a weird thing going on atixel, my Patreon-user, and so far I've only seen one post delisted after I unsubscribed, but the amount of stuff on there pulled my weight. This is the part where TFL explains that a black market shipping page exists. They describe their current business model as "you put some money into this page and get rid of some, get a middleman to sell it for a fraction of the cost."" And then you have this long-winded wayward white paper trail that follows you like a bad dream until you wake up.
I don't believe in pseudoscientific things. But I do believe in facts, in the spirit of open and accountable research. If you trust me, please consider making a donation. :) Tiny and I signed up for become a patron, where we want to give back to the non-profit that gave us the microphone to share this podcast. You can either do that by giving right now, or by following along on my Patreon.
Either way, I encourage everyone to go follow along and give because I will keep providing tons of cool tech and audiobook music for free to anyone who subscribe. :)
And
yhlee is one of our patrons!Thanks to the generous support of my lurk detection partner
And I must apologize for this getting a little gross, but I think it thinks
yhlee is a cat. I may name our next cat Yoonjoon HaHa anyway.Yoonjoon HaHa for the plastic guy, which is scruffy and bouncy like a duck, has developed some signature veins in the last 2/3 of the sample, and is now wearing skin fronds and glasses. He really likes the sound of the plastic, and will happily lick your face with a little salty scat, on pain of 2-3 forms of radiation. 4 of which turned out quite well, convincingly. Yoonjoon wears glasses, and wears a long plastic tube over his scruffy, circle personality hat.
And then the generated text sort of ends with this, which seems an appropriate place to end today's experiment.
4. What's the most important thing you've ever done for art class?
His answer: a class on image interpretation.

Remember the sword?

Yeah, the sword.

The grappling hook.

Not that big a deal, really. Heroine is a badass heroine—good story, I think. I'm going to have to find a better Half-Orc on the mercenary side.

... Thats all for this week, until next time I have to go hide in the closet.
P.S. If you're looking to get out of town for a bit more silliness, has a new site with lots of random shit left over from the old site [nonexistent URL]
And on that note, I shall go hide in the closet.

I kinda want to dump some hexarchate into it and see what happens, but I don't know how

Send me Word (or whatever) files of a couple of novels and I'll feed them into it tomorrow. XD The more training data, the better!
