Background & comments

This is very short, but after many tries, the AI didn’t really produce anything interesting beyond what you see above.

I found the last sentence funny though. The AI is kind saying that humans are oblivious to the “cosmic conversations” happening around them, which is true. There are cosmic rays passing through us all the time, and we’ll never notice!

Somewhere in space

It’s been a little over a month since we left the ISS. My proposal to go on a mission to study the aliens was approved, and together with a small team, we set out to find some answers about the aliens.

We’re not the only ones looking for answers. There are other teams out there, studying the aliens in different ways. Some are trying to communicate with them, others are trying to find a way to fight them.

But we’re the only ones who are trying to understand them.

We’ve been following a group of aliens for the past few weeks, and we’ve learned a lot about their behavior. They’re not random, like we thought at first. They have a purpose.

And we’re going to find out what that purpose is.

Somewhere in space

We’re getting closer to the aliens. We’ve been following them for weeks, and we’ve finally found their base.

It’s a huge structure, floating in space. It’s definitely artificial.

We’re not sure what to do now. We can’t just go in there and start asking questions. We need to be careful.

We need a plan.

Background & comments

Giving GPT-3 some context from the previous post (a mission to study the aliens) seemed to work out alright this time. The above text (not in bold) came after just a few tries, whereas I had to try more variations in the previous entry.

I am also always pleased when I see dates get incremented correctly, like how it made a new diary entry for May 18th, 2122.

The Intergalactic Space Station

Dear Diary,

The days are a blur on the station. I’ve been keeping busy with my research, but can’t stop thinking about how we weren’t able to save that planet from the aliens.

We need to understand them better. What do they want? Why are they attacking?

I’ve been going over the data we have, but it’s just not enough. I wish we could get closer to them, study them in their natural habitat.

But that’s dangerous. They’ve already shown that they’re willing to attack without provocation. Who knows what they would do if we got too close?

Still, it’s worth the risk. I’m going to propose a mission to get closer to the aliens. I have to find out what they’re up to.

Background & comments

I’m beginning to run into what seems to be limitations of GPT-3. I first tried to use all the text from the previous posts in the ISS Diary series, but I kept getting unsatisfying and repetitive results from GPT-3, even after increasing the randomness.

For this post, I had to write quite a lot of text before I started to see slightly more interesting results. As you can see, almost half of the writing is bold, i.e. written by me.

At least the stage has now been set for going to an alien world and exploring them in their “natural habitat” :-)
