I used GPT-3 to come up with some novelty sock concepts.
GPT-3 Ada (2020):
“Cruxx” Slurpees with a fish in an orange
“Fängche” with french fries on top of a pocket-full of ice cream
A shirt made out of a jello stick – it looks like a hamburger, but it’s not.
“A halved grapefruit!” with lollipops
Some kind of replica of The Lord of the Rings party balloon, with rainbow balls, pink hoses, and blood in tributes to the Great Hair String of Friendship
Over a million memory sticks made from stars
“Shocking in the head!” more brightly colored balloons
In my original prompt format I used quotes for text that was actually written on the sock, which means that Ada's lollipops sock has the words "a halved grapefruit" written on it. And the jello stick hamburger item is not a shirt, but a sock with a picture of the shirt on it. Unless Ada has completely lost the plot and is not even generating socks anymore, which frankly is likely.
Babbage is the next-largest GPT-3 model from 2020, and it is doing better at being socks, although many of its socks seem very tricky to illustrate.
GPT-3 Babbage (2020):
Robots posing with some butter
“Ink!” cats with pink blotches
Violins and Prawns
“Santa it is” with polar bears and elves in a sleigh
“Dreamy ghosts” ghosts with binoculars
“Rainbow Rap!” hot air balloons and boing! boing!
A twin-headed dragon jumps through a trap door
A potato upside down with superpowers
A day going on but no moon just like a horror movie
Slightly more coherent are the socks from the next-largest GPT-3 model, Curie.
GPT-3 Curie (2020)
The Statue of Liberty with a 3-sided pancake.
Orca whale jumping through a ring of socks.
Octopus holding lemons
“Turtle is Delighted” turtle with a backpack
A stampede with bulls and zebras
Pumpkin patch with cutouts of squirrels having a picnic
“Make a toast to the kachunkers” with a bear holding a glass of tomato juice
Grinning neutrinos with dirty fingers
“As above, so below” with cats on the moon
A lion eating a Space Shuttle
Hamsters skating down a rainbow
GPT-3 DaVinci (2020):
Massive group of goats wearing party hats
Unicorn riding a rainbow
Flying hedgehog
Robotic bulldog
Ninjas and kittens
“Lmao!” a flatulent dog with a mustache
Googly eyed donuts wrapped in bacon
A set of eyes wearing suspenders and monocle
“Come on in! The water’s liquid!” – grumpy cat in red bathing suit
“I can Haz!” a sitting Trojan Horse
“Bark like doggone it!” dancing dogs on black background
Note that as the models get bigger, GPT-3's socks start becoming more conventionally "trendy", like a lolrandom site from 10 years ago. Technically that's what it's going for - it's trained to reproduce the websites from its training data.
my socks were literally spilling all over my floor so i pulled them out to the living room to sort through them. this doesn't even include the xmas and fluffy socks, cause that's an entirely different monster. this is definitely too many socks, right?! i have to move in a few months and i need to get rid of some. how am i supposed to decide which go and which stay?! 😥
