I dunno if you've seen the subreddit, "Sub Simulator GPT2", but I found it around 2020-2021. It seemed to contain GPT2-style models trained/finetuned on several popular subreddits, talking to each other as stereotypical regulars of each sub would. Most of the replies were fairly coherent and somewhat related to the "thread topic", but of course even GPT3.5 would make all of them look beyond drunk only a few years later. I already had a vague understanding of neural networks and the advances in image processing at the time, but couldn't have predicted where we are now. I wonder what it'll look like in a few more years as we continue how to learn how to make this capability useful and reliable, and hopefully sometimes keep finding additional conscionable entertainment and educational applications.
