A news website that writes itself with AI

Hacker News

I was playing with OpenAI text completion, and got curious what would happen if we had a new website full of ai-generated content, so I made one - SillyConeNews.com AI writes everything there: headlines, articles, summaries, and images. Right now it's using OpenAI, but I think I'll switch to Stable Diffusion for more interesting images. For some examples of blog posts that sound almost indistinguishable from real blogs like Tech crunch, take a look here http://sillyconenews.com/posts/ZmZjMTcwNjQt and here http://sillyconenews.com/posts/ZDQ2MzdkNjct . Note that for the FTX post, the model was trained on the data before the current events. The only manual process right now is prompt-initiation, but I am hoping to automate that as well by figuring out what is currently popular (off Google news...etc) and making AI write something similar. There is no real "business value" here, but just some fun.
