A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I feel like this has been done. There was an AI generated "debate" between Biden and Trump that was mostly swear words. But it was trained on their speeches and was mostly gibberish and insults.
Edit: It was on Twitch, and users could add inputs and questions.
The trump AI was way to succinct and didn't get distracted constantly cutting himself off every 10 words.
I had fun with that for a few minutes
Back in the 70's and 80's there were "Travesty Generators". You pushed some text into them and they developed linguistic rules based on probabilities determined by the text. Then you could have them generate brand new text randomly created by applying the linguistic rules developed from the source text.
Surprisingly, they would generate "brand new" words that weren't in the original text, but were real words. And the output matched stylistically to the input text. So you put in Shakespeare and you got out something that sounded like Shakespeare. You get the idea.
I built one and tried running some TS Eliot through it, because stuff is, IMHO, close to gibberish to begin with. The results were disappointing. Basically because it couldn't get any more gibberishy that the source.
I strongly suspect that the same would happen with Trump's gibberish. There used to be a bunch of Travesty Generators online, and you could probably try one out to see.
John Oliver sort of did it.
But it doesn't even need a LLM.
They just used predictive text.
You don't even need to train it. Just use a system prompt.
Just don't ask it for medical advise
There was a Twitch channel that featured AI Trump and Biden debating. They've changed it to Trump and Kamala now https://www.twitch.tv/trumporkamala2024 might be worth a watch for such content.
