WaityKaty 1,171 Posted October 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2019 I forced a bot to read over 1,000 Omorashi Stories and then asked it to write a story of its own. Here is the first page. Lara crossed her legs like pretzels made of that stretchy stuff that Stretch Armstrongs were made of. They were very stretchy. From all the yoga, maybe. She taught yoga sometimes, maybe. “I need to relieve my pee Sonja!” She demanded at her friend Sonja. Sonja didn’t teach yoga and was jealous on secret. “Just cross your legs like pretzels!” Sonja exclaimed back. She thought this was very funny because Lara did not eat pretzels. Because of all the yoga pants. “Now is the time I need to go!” She whined like a mosquito. An annoying mosquito. So like a mosquito. ”You should drink less wine, maybe?” Sonia susplained. She liked puns more than yoga. Also more than Lara. ”Ha Ha Ha!” Lara laughed like an unhuman, “If you make me laugh I’ll pee in your car!” She did not like puns as much as yoga. Or pretzels. Sonja was vexed. She quizicallied, “why would you go pee in my car?” ”Because you deserve it!” She retorted impulsively. Then Lara gasped gaspingly, “Oh no!” ”Are you peeing?” Sonja was curious and glad that Lara didn’t pee in her car. She liked her car more than yoga. And Lara. Not more than puns though. ”I am peeing!” Lara exclaimed as always. A wet wetness was spreading down her yoga pants and making a waterfall on the ground. Her pants were a puddle. Her dignity was also a puddle. She made her stretchy legs go straight again. “I am a puddle!” Lara exemplified. She liked metaphors more than wetting her pants. Also she liked everything more than wetting her pants. Except for puka shells and Nickelback and cholera. ”You are a puddle.” Sonja was gleeful because her car was not a puddle. And because she liked metaphors. “But now I need to pee also.” ”Do not pee in your car!” Lara backchatted and didn’t eat a pretzel. ———— Hey people 🙂 Sorry to pitch a non-sexy story after a year or so away. Hopefully you still found it interesting. I do have a few other ideas I want to try to write, so fingers crossed! Bismiris, hubertheiser, Desperategasp and 16 others 11 6 2 Quote Link to comment

Imouto Kitten 623 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Okay, so despite being a degree-holding computer scientist, I know like zilch about the nitty gritty of modern AI, but while this story would probably trigger a "this was written by a computer" vibe even without the disclaimer, it actually has a certain charm I'm not sure many human writers could have pulled off... And now I'm reminded that I'd love to train a story writing AI on my own writings to see what it produces... So Katy, is the AI that produced this something anyone can download an untrained version of, feed an archive of text files, and see what it spits out? Kei 1 Quote Link to comment
hypnomommy 25 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 My favorite line is "A wet wetness was spreading " Quote Link to comment

I’m gonna make an educated guess that this wasn’t actually written by an AI, but by a human pretending to be one. If not, I’m impressed because there’s a degree of continuity between sentences that I don’t typically see in machine-generated text. Katy can confirm (or remain coy), but I think this is a work of art and parody. It’s... funny and different. Experimental. And strangely more eloquent than some fap stories I see...

Bulge_Lover 1,909 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 It's a joke based on Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash. It was a huge undertaking, no individual person could pull off having a bot do this unless we're talking about a Bill Gates type. Still clever and fun though.

Keita123 1,103 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 We do have a bot online that could continue whatever passage you're feeding it with. Quote Link to comment

WaityKaty 1,171 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 So, as people have said, I wrote this myself. :) Though I’m glad that I was almost convincingly a computer! Reverse Turing test :p There is a joke you see around Twitter, and other social networks, I imagine, where you write a story/screenplay in the style of a neural network. @kruton ‘s links are great for people interested. I used the GPT-2 model to get in the right headspace, though it didn’t actually write any of it, neural networks struggle with developing a plot at this stage.

Weasel 1,097 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I had my suspicions. The plot was a little too linear. But it's a fun idea, and it's great to have you back, Katy. Quote Link to comment

supernerd222 215 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Quality thread. I actually like wetting my pants more than metaphors, but I guess that's what makes us weird. Quote Link to comment
HaHaTimeForOmo 32 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I don't want to be a killjoy, but frankly the passage about Stretch Armstrongs was a dead giveaway that it wasn't really neural network written. Neural networks aren't able to stitch together items and definitions or descriptors for those items on their own, so a bot wouldn't be describe a Stretch Armstrong toy so accurately unless one of the stories it was trained on was also about Stretch Armstrongs for some reason. Also, sentence fragments and redundant phrases aren't as common as they are in this story, since after a while a neural network will learn to structure sentences like the base material does. And like Weasel said, bot-written stories are more likely to go off on a tangent and derail the plot entirely. That said, I'm a big fan of that Aiweirdness site so I wouldn't mind seeing more like this. If someone was able to download a neural network and fiddle around with it enough to actually generate omo stories, that would be fun too. Or a regular story with people using metaphors and Stretch Armstrong toys as plot elements. Edited October 27, 2019 by HaHaTimeForOmo forgot the most important part of the story-Stretch Armstrong (see edit history) Quote Link to comment
trekkie 1,098 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I thought it was pretty convincing too. Though now I want someone to actually try this and see what comes out! Quote Link to comment

For the uninitiated: Large Pile of Ash wasn't literally written by a bot, someone just fed a predictive keyboard the Harry Potter book and then used it to write a story. You can try it yourself at the Botnik home page. I tried feeding it Extra History transcripts, but only had a few to work with, so I couldn't write a whole episode. It did have a few funny ideas, though, such as using a year when it needed a number so that the Japanese sunk 1814 or whatever ships 😛. Quote Link to comment
