late but i finally got around to reading this and holy crap there's good stuff in here. too much to excerpt but i particularly liked the literary parodies (7.7.2), the entire poetry section (8), the entire cyberiad section (9), the mona lisa bit (10.1), and the hpmor bit (10.9)

These examples of AI-generated writing are just INSANE. Rewriting Navy Seal copypasta in various styles. Producing Harry Potter parodies in various styles. Writing all kinds of poetry. Wouldn't have believed I'd see this kind of a thing so soon. gwern.net/GPT-3

GPT-3 is, i think, slightly alive, and some thought should be put into finding the appropriate metaphor for describing what sort of creature it is
