A never-ending supply of short stories, written just for you. Provide a prompt and press the generate button! Whether you're looking for a new bedtime story for the kids, or want to live out a fantasy scenario, Infinite Monkeys is here to entertain.
We’re Matt and Eric, two friends who met through journalism class in high school. We have a shared love of storytelling, and know that many in the PH community have played with generative AI models, but maybe not in the context of longer form creative writing.
So we built Infinite Monkeys, a super simple web app that uses GPT-3 tuned to generate entertaining short stories, and text-to-speech to read aloud to you. We hope it makes you chuckle!
Note: We're not planning on doing anything with this project, the goal is just to spread the creative magic. But please share ideas for improvements, and we'll add them when we have time. Thanks 🙂
Congrats on the launch! This is one of the more fun applications of GPT 3 I've seen. Any tips/tricks you discovered for crafting the input prompt to generate the best outputs?
@ybrikeeg Thanks for trying it out! The biggest learning around prompt design was for regulating output length. When we started, we tried to ask GPT-3 explicitly, ex. "Write a 300 word story about...". This did not work as GPT-3 does not understand length commands.
What worked better for us was feeding it an example in the prompt that is roughly the length of the desired output. So if we give it a 300 word example, the output ends up roughly that length.
