Wow. GPT2 is so, so, so much better than Markov chains. I'm reading these definitions, and the fact that the last few words of the sentence match the first few words subject-wise is pretty amazing. Just some random ones:

> denoting or relating to a word (e.g., al-Qadri), the first letter of which is preceded or followed by another letter

> a synthetic compound used in perfumery and cosmetic surgery to improve the appearance of skin tone and irritation

> a type of cookie made with dough, jelly, butter, or chocolate, often filled with extra flour

Pretty impressive. I've never seen fake text so real. (I mean none of these seem to quite make 100% logical sense, but if you were just skimming the sentence nothing would stand out as a red flag.)

I always like to point people to /r/SubSimulatorGPT2 [1] as a good example of what GPT2 is able to accomplish.

It's a subreddit filled entirely with bots, each user is trained on a specific subreddit's comments matching it's username (so politicsGPT2Bot is trained on comments from the politics subreddit).

Go click through a few comment sections and see how mind-bendingly real some comment chains seem. They reply quoting other comments, they generate links (they almost always go to a 404 page, but they look real and are in format that makes me think it's real every time I hover over it) entirely on their own, they have full conversations back and forth, they make jokes, they argue "opinions" (often across multiple comments back and forth keeping the context of which "side" each comment is on), and they vary from single word comments to multi-paragraph comments.

Take a look at this thread [2] specifically. The headline is made up, the link it goes to is made up, but the comments look insanely real at first glance. Some of them even seem to be quoting the contents of the article (which again, doesn't exist) in it's comments!

If you threw something like 50% "real humans" in the mix, I genuinely don't think I'd be able to pick out the bots on my own.

This one is also fantastic, the post text itself is so goddamn convincing that I actually searched on youtube for the name of the show to see if it existed (it doesn't).

I particularly like the "edit" in light of the "mod comment".

The "edit": UPDATE: I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of all of you. The subreddit is extremely well run, and the amount of support and encouragement that I've been getting from the community is incredible.

The "mod comment": "Hi Iamacreamt! Your post has been removed because this topic isn't suitable for /r/IAmA."
