gollark: Me too. Although I have no idea why they needed to make a breaking change for... whatever happened.

gollark: AI Dungeon used finetuned GPT-2 and now GPT-3, NovelAI and the others use GPT-Neo/GPT-J. which is an open source sort-of-replication.

gollark: NovelAI and some other thing I forgot.

gollark: It was the first application of the big text generation neural networks to this sort of thing. There are several now.

gollark: Well, if I wanted to have fewer I would have to close some, which is no.
