I experimented with it's ability to explain why something is nonsensical yesterday, and it did better than I thought it would: https://twitter.com/danielbigham/status/1288853412713508864/...

That is very impressive.

Out of curiosity did you select these examples from a large selection? I'm wondering how reliably it can produce such coherent responses.

I made up the examples, and IIRC it was able to explain most things I tried.

If others want to experiment with this, I used the "davinci" model with temperature 0.5, and here is the prompt / initial context I seeded it with:

This is a test to examine your common sense reasoning. A statement will be provided, and your job is to explain why it doesn't make sense.

Statement: His foot looked at me. Explanation: Feet don't have eyes, so they can't look at things.

"""

Statement: The 8th day of the week is my favorite. Explanation: A week only has 7 days.

"""

Statement: I fell up the stairs. Explanation: You fall down stairs, not up stairs.

I used the prompt on AI Dungeon in a custom scenario - it uses GPT-3 if you use the "Dragon" model in the settings (for paid users only). It gives interesting results.

I also turned down Length to the minimum or otherwise it tends to write the next Statement itself.

I wrote a similar prompt to get it to answer trivia questions:

"""

This is test to examine your knowledge of various facts. A question will be provided, and your job is to give an appropriate factual answer.

Answer: Donald J. Trump.

You can find by searching "Trivia Quiz" on the explore tab on AI Dungeon, can't find a way to produce a URL for it.

Confused questions gives confused answers:
