The Reddit GPT-2 simulator is absolutely, gut-bustingly hilarious when it comes to this stuff.

It trains different GPT-2 bots on different sub-Reddits and then creates long, elaborate posts where the bots talk to themselves in the style of each sub.

It's surreal, hilarious, and terrifying. The posts are OK but the comments can be pure gold.

Some of my favs:

"AITA for Taking My Wife's Side in a Divorce?" https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/dd26fr/ai...

"I'm not attracted to my ex's sister, and she's not attracted to me." https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/dd3beb/im...

Then there is the all time creepy ones about self-awareness and being AI's:

"We are likely created by a computer program" https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/caaq82/we...

"ELI5: How exactly can something be considered "self-aware"?" https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/dd3ksq/el...

Definitely worth a sub, especially when you're scrolling through late at night, forget what sub you're reading and have a true "WTF?!" moment.
