Botober 2024
Back by popular demand, here are some AI-powered drawing tutorials to use this spooky month of October!
Longtime readers of AI Weirdness may recognize some of these. That's because this is a throwback list, from the days of very small language models. These models didn't feast on large chunks of the Internet, but drank sweetly from hand-picked state-of-the-art datasets. They trained slowly on one MacBook Pro. Can they write your term paper for you? Of course, if you don't mind that your term paper contains a list of cheesy and sometimes vulgar nail polish colors.
Live the smallest language model!
Training data:
1-5: Nail polish colors (2018)
6-8: Guinea pig names (2017)
9-12: Names of Dungeons and Dragons (2017)
13-16: Knitting pattern names (2018)
17-20: Heirloom Apples (2018)
21-24: Cookie Making Topics (2018)
