GPT-Neo generates Instagram Captions!

Hi all,
I hope you are aware of the text generation capabilities of GPT-3 and how a large number of products are leveraging it to automate the generation of content for Social Media among others.

While I was waiting for access to the GPT-3 API, I thought to explore GPT3’s Open-Source cousin GPT-Neo.

I set up an experiment to test out how well it would generate Instagram Captions for normal posts and carousel posts. The results were quite surprising since they were not so far behind from GPT-3, given GPT-Neo is ~100x smaller.

Here are few results that I found decently good:

  • Input - “Chicken tikka is love!”

  • Output:

    1. Simply delicious! Crisp, juicy, fresh, crunchy and tangy. This chicken tikka is one of our top favorite recipes.
    2. Fresh Marinated Chickens on a bed of thinly sliced and crispy garlicky green peppers. As if that wasn’t enough, you add the homemade mint chutney to bring it all into one meal.
    3. Chicken Tikka’s soft, tender, juicy and flavorful chicken. All you have to do is slice it up then cook it with a little ketchup.
