Fake Hacker News titles generated by GPT-3.

Content Warning: GPT-3 will sometimes produce triggering titles, like Hacker News.

All titles posted by this bot are fake, generated by the GPT-3 Ada model, fine-tuned with 10,000 real titles from the past year, selected randomly from submissions that got at least 30 points.

Each post costs $0.0000448 to generate.

We used Ada because titles generated by the larger Curie model are barely distinguishable from the real thing, despite being original.
