This is the Stochastic Parrot, a psychedelic cosmic parrot that feeds from the entropy of the universe. More simply, it's a Mastodon Bot that uses the OpenAI ChatGPT4 API with an empty prompt - and simply repeats back the response.
You could say it's repeating back the hallucinations of the language model.
The bots has several features it will use to create media and toots
- Chat Replies: Using GPT-4 with an empty string, or a prompt, the bot will generate a thread of toots based on the length
- Image Posting: Using Dall-E, the bot will generate images which it will upload and toot.
- Audio Posting: Uses the ElevenLabs API to generate audio from GPT-4, the both will also upload and toot.
- Poll Creation: Using GPT-4 will get the JSON for a poll to toot
The bot itself is simply a GitHub Action that runs on the hour, runs a NodeJS script and posts to Mastodon.
