If you like absurdist humor, go into the OpenAI playground, select 3.5-Turbo, and dial up the temperature to the point where the output devolves into garbled text after 500 tokens or so. The first ~200 tokens are in the freaking sweet spot of humor.


Maybe it's rose-colored glasses, but 3.5 was really the golden era for LLM comedy. More modern LLMs can't touch it.

Just ask it to write you a film screenplay involving some hard-ass 80s/90s action star and someone totally unrelated and opposite of that. The ensuring unhinged magic is unparalleled.


I built a little AI assistant to read my calendar and send me a summary of my day every morning. I told it to roast me and be funny with it.

3.5 was *way* better than anything else at that.


Ah, I'd love to have that kind of daily recap... mind sharing some of the code (or even just the prompt?)


Yeah, I think the fact its "mind" so to speak was more fragmented and unpredictable was almost a boon for that purpose.


>The ensuring unhinged magic is unparalleled.

Oops: ensuing*


Could someone post an example?
