Hagrid – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Prompt: If the motorcycle was huge, it was nothing to the man sitting astride it. He was twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild — long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins

  1. There are definitely quirks in various image AI’s I’ve played with. My speculation is that the massive amount of data that gets poured into an AI doesn’t result in rules, just permutations and combinations.

    • Altman and Gates had a conversation linked to and summarized here:

      This relates to the number of fingers:

      “OpenAI has been able to achieve incredible feats with its GPT-4 model, but it has also encountered setbacks in equal measure. Altman further shared the following sentiments:

      “Right now, GPT-4 can reason in only extremely limited ways. Also, reliability. If you ask GPT-4 most questions 10,000 times, one of those 10,000 is probably pretty good, but it doesn’t always know which one, and you’d like to get the best response of 10,000 each time, and so that increase in reliability will be important. Customizability and personalization will also be very important. People want very different things out of GPT-4: different styles, different sets of assumptions. We’ll make all that possible, and then also the ability to have it use your own data. The ability to know about you, your email, your calendar, how you like appointments booked, connected to other outside data sources, all of that. Those will be some of the most important areas of improvement.”

      While Altman didn’t disclose a lot of details in regard to OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-5 model, it’s apparent that the company is working toward building further upon the model and improving its capabilities. As earlier mentioned, there’s a likelihood that ChatGPT will ship with video capabilities coupled with enhanced image analysis capabilities. ”

      GPT5 will be out in a few months and it will be able to do some “reasoning”; abstract and follow rules to deal with material it hasn’t dealt with before. Still not in any way intelligent but more useful.

  2. I’m puzzled why the prompt’s references to his height (at least as regards the torso) and width – to say nothing of the boots – are ignored whilst we do get the trash can lid sized hands.
