Oh wow, I was literally just making a toy Discord bot for GPT-2. Guess I'll update it with the bigger model.

EDIT: Done! It takes about 3x longer than it did before to generate a response, so if you try it be very patient. Also, I made this in three hours so I wouldn't be surprised if it goes up in flames at some point.

How long does it take, and which hardware do you use?


About 30 seconds for a smaller response on an EC2 instance. Mind you this is without a GPU because I couldn't figure out how to set one up.


I tried adding it but I get the error message "This bot is private. Only the bot owner can add it."


Oh, sorry. I forgot to mark it as public. Feel free to try again.


Yeh it works now!

Tried with this input: "what is your purpose as a bot?" Response: "There are a handful of examples available out there that seem fairly plausible as a good initial goal. These examples might get you started: A bot with a purpose to collect information (and I'm going to assume that you have to have an intent, so I'll be using that term and not the verb for my example). Or a bot with a purpose to help out a customer that wants something delivered to him/her by mistake. Or a bot that wants to promote your site to the entire universe of bots. For example, here in New Zealand, that's a fairly common use of botnets as far as I can see: How do you know I have enough information to set it up? Let's say I have an account with the website at /r/frugal, what if you are already running bots that want what I need? How do you know these bots would actually be helpful? One answer I see is"

Pretty cool stuff, but I see your description as "semi-coherent gibberish" fits really well. I could see something like this get pretty interesting in the future, where you, for instance, could maybe populate a discord server or twitter chat with semi plausible noise to fake popularity.
