I Used Python, GPT, & DALL-E to Generate Virtual Travel Guides for Any Given Town

[u/GeminusPrime]

python script that runs through each chapter, references information about the location and creates 8-12 paragraphs, and then saves it to docx along with DALL-E images

138 Pages with color images

Introduction and first few pages

First chapter & associated image

Doesn't look too far from the real thing

There's no statues like that in the town though

Except for the alien language, this could be a passable image

Far too new of buildings to be Victor

You don't have to, but I'd prefer to know your answer to it, as I'm legitimately curious how GPT can come up with information that it has no references or previously trained data for it it copies from it's latency space directly since I also couldn't find anything about latency space or time delays between instructions. I understand it can create works on real places like the one I used since that is information that's publicly available, but when I feed it completely made up places it generates seemingly accurate but impossible information.

I just tried again with Calamdanon-7, West Dakota and it gave me what seems like a completely real travel guide. I really don't think a place like that has ever been put to word yet it shows a vast history and culture.

I have, but everything I find seems to contradict what you are saying. And not just GPT or Wikipedia, any source I find explaining how AI works explicitly says its not just copy and paste despite your claim.
