AI Explains Human Quirks

Does GPT-3 know what it's like to be human? Yes, it turns out when prompted with a short list of wierd human quirks, an internet-trained AI can indeed cite the universal human experiences of:

-Yelping when the wind blows over their head -Gasping and then jerking your entire torso around when you've fallen asleep on top of a fan -Scaring Christmas presents and then running out of the house when the "Christ misses you" song starts playing -Finding out that you accidentally wrote five pages in cursive -Saying that the black cat in the tree is Lenny, or at least what might be left of him -Telling themselves over and over again that it is Sunday, October 6th and there is no reason to watch monster shows -Stripping down to their underwear in front of a group and hoping that no one else has a terrible idea -Wishing for a pet raincloud that never comes -Stacking something as tall as a tower, then trying to tip it over, and being depressed over it when it doesn't fall -Showing intense disgust if you try to pick them up when they're chewing on something -Barking whenever a bush changes colors -Purring sitting up, hands on hips when greeting people -Trying to communicate with the dog (who doesn't like you and is a jerk) by standing one inch away from the gate and turning a flashlight on and off repeatedly for an hour. -Getting mad when they're interrupted because they're JUST getting to a good part in their chase dream -Buying mega-packs of tennis balls and then losing all interest once they've played fetch a few times

A favorite Irish proverb, with an interpretation I disagree with:

An té a thabharfas scéal chugat tabharfaidh sé dhá scéal uait.

(Whoever will bring a story to you will take two stories from you.)

Click the link below to hear the proverb spoken in Gaeilge (it rhymes).

The Interpretation, from the source where I first found this proverb, that I have a quibble with:

Note: This is more an Irish protocol than a proverb. If someone tells you a story, then you are expected to tell two in return. It is similar to the Irish greeting protocol; if someone greets you with a blessing, “Dia duit” (God to you) then you are expected to return a greater blessing, “Dia’s Muire duit” (God and the Blessed Virgin Mary to you). Another interpretation suggests that the two stories taken from you are the one you told and the one the story-teller told. In any case, you are expected to give at least as good as you got.

While I do not doubt that Irish culture places a high value on reciprocity, I believe this is a true proverb first, and a reminder of protocol, second, namely:

Whoever brings a story to you (in other words, someone who is a guest - they are coming to you), leaves with the story they came with (one), and a story About You (two).

So this is a proverbial reminder to be on your best behavior, if you want it to be a pleasant story. Which inspired me to compose my own proverb:

If you want to be a hero, be good to the storyteller.

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

#they just resort instantly to bombing #and everyone just thinks it's normal #coz it's a non white middle eastern Muslim country #how are the us uk and israel allowed to exist when they're the worst thing for world peace #why do their governments get away with so much #and they then have the audacity to lecture other countries about human rights #fuck off #yemen #palestine #israel #free palestine #gaza #gaza strip #middle east #free gaza #fuck israel

we'll do fine.

#fionna and cake spoilers #what hits me a little is how similar fionna and simon's stories are in the case of finding nuance in their lives #when both have gone through their separate but still valid pain no matter the extent it had been #and its that they met each other they get to see how it compares and they're no less worth of the peace and fun they dreamed of #even in the form of simplicity and just being normal #“i wouldn't have met THE fionna and cake” “we wouldn't have met THE simon petrikov” #it hits me harder that after the dandelion scene would've been their last time seeing each other physically #and how assuring simon sounded when fionna didn't know what to do with the literal world in her hands #tho im sure prismo isnt that much of a rule jerk lol i still drew out the revelation anyway with this tiniest addition #also the fact fionna's world is influenced by simon's thought processes and conditions so now things are a little better for both of them #fionna the human #fionna campbell #simon petrikov #qiiarts #the lil flashback of #betty grof #fionna and cake #adventure time

A report just came out from a Palestinian hostage saying he was strapped with bombs and sent into a Hamas tunnel, with Israel prepared to blow the tunnel up with his body if fighters were found inside and yet people are still making the “Hamas uses human shields” arguments that have been confirmed to be a myth with no supporting evidence

#the hostage also said the same thing happened to a 15 year old boy hostage #both of them did survive as they were pulled out of the tunnel when no fighters were found and then released a few days later #the amount of people (including the US president) who still talk about the Hamas human shields is alarming #since no one has evidence of it and we have more then one piece of evidence of Israel using human shields #palestine #🦢

That time in ancient Greece when Aziraphale needed a speedy horse and accidentally invented the pegasus

VS.

Whatever Crowley had going on in medieval times

#Crowley just really misses the unicorns ok??? #Also Crowley didn't start from a horse to make a new unicorn #he looked at a horse and was like.... nah #then looked at a goat and was like YEAAAAH LET'S GOO LET'S MAKE YOU BIG AF AND YOU CAN ALSO SPIT FIRE WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! #While Aziraphale is fretting over the fact that he accidentally gave WINGS to a HORSE and every time that the angels asks about it he's lik #whaaat?? PegaSUS naaaah never heard about it. Must be a made up thing. humans...right?? silly little things ahahah *sweat nervously* #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #pegasus #unicorn #Do I wanna draw the precious good omens beans? yes. #is this an excuse to draw more horses? also yes. #medieval crowley #ancient greek aziraphale #CAVALLIIIIIII 🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴 #good omens comic #historical husbands

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

#star trek #Vulcans #Humans #not based on a specific thing #but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’ #who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field? #like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq #and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first #would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate #and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for #and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance #the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times #they were just dicks #and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it. #it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible #you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier #but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks. #that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on #and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post #but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks #and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be #replaced #hated that couple #if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us #(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀) #liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people #that no one else wanted to be friends with #I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone #this got long sorry 😭

Give a cat a box

And they will jump into it.

Give a human a box

And they will sort things into it.

Don't give a human a box

And they will make one... And then sort things into it.

Fun fact: Samus' zero suit is a bodysuit in more recent games instead of the tank-top she wore in older games because at this point, she's been spliced with so many species' DNA you really don't want to see what the rest of her skin looks like.

#her head is like the sole part of her that looks human at this point #you look at a single bit of her skin that isn't covered by the zero suit that shit starts building your frenzy meter #samus takes off her suit and instead of something sexy you just start going catatonic from things your mind cannot comprehend #samus aran #metroid #shitposting #note: I'm fully aware some of you would still be into this #just saying
