@@snazzyfeathers Its not frightening. You have a phobia.

[@Nassifeh]

Were they, though? The first drink would have been outright *awful* for most people--Greg clearly tolerates licorice more than most of us. The second it didn't even know how to respond to. The Bubbles in the Grass is just a mashup of some existing popular gin cocktails. (Okay, I'm not sure if the elderflower Aviation is really that popular but it's at least a known thing. The French 75/Aviation combo is one of my favorite drinks.) And the "never been done before" Last Word variation did not wind up tasting either that good OR like a Last Word. The key is that it doesn't know what it's doing, it just makes associations. The associations that doomed the First Word were the exact same kinds of things that saved the Bubbles in the Grass. It will justify itself if you want it to, but those justifications may or may not be accurate, they're just the things it thinks people are statistically likely to say about things related to what it's doing. It has no idea. It can't tell that it's lying to you, or when it's done something that is a terrible idea. If "honey" goes so often with the other words in this recipe, surely honey should go okay in this recipe, right? But no, that's not how cocktails work, as it turns out.

[@Heroism4499]

About a year ago I made a Google Spreadshreet that would randomly generate a cocktail using a slightly modified form of the "Golden Ratio". The Golden Ratio goes by something like "1 of strong, one of sour, one of sweet"; I modified it to be something like "2 of Strong, 1 of Weak, 1/2 of sour (fruit juices), 1/2 of sweet, 3 dashes of bitters, and *other*" (other being stuff like adding an Egg White to make it a sour or smoked rosemary). I think something like this would make a neat episode. Note; the program doesn't know what is good or what is bad. so it has an equal probably of: -2 Tequila, 1 Fireball, 1/2 Grapefruit Juice, 1/2 Olio Sacrum, 3 dashes Olive Bitters, and an Egg White or -2 Rum, 1 Coffee Liqueur, 1 Rich Simple, Lemon Juice, Ango Bitters, and a flamed Orange Peal.

Add the rye whiskey, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and absinthe. Shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

I had a pretty good experience with AI making up drinks. I wanted to make up a real cocktail recipe for a cocktail I had invented in my D&D campaign, called the Sour Seven. I had basic ideas of what I wanted for the drink, which I gave to ChatGPT. It had to be quite sour and citrusy, it had to contain exactly 7 ingredients, it had to be colour changing, and I suggested the base being some sort of rum. And the AI worked with that pretty well, it spat out a recipe which I slightly tweaked and I am very happy with the result. The recipe, for anyone interested: 1.5oz rum (I use white rum, but I bet some funkier, darker rum could also work very nicely) 1oz lime juice .25oz lemon juice .5oz simple .25oz cointreau 2 barspoons grenadine Shake with ice Serve in coupe class and add some edible glitter

A valid question, especially for the ChatGPT cocktails is did it construct a totally new recipe or did it regurgitate something it's read before. Clearly these models do some amount of memorization and some amount of generalization. In classification problems, the difference is easy to measure because you just look at the accuracy difference between your testing and training sets. However, the what's, how's, and why's of if these models are being creative is harder to measure. It is also likely the case that they are prone to memorizing when there tends to be a single common answer and get more creative when there are a broad range of possible responses.

[@KyrieFortune]

And yous have convinced me to try ChatGPT to comeup with VtM 5e character concepts. It was WAY more detailed than I woulda figured, and did the stats too!

[@RecklessFables]

The Deckard's Dream actually is made up of thigs I keep on hand and experiment with regularly. That is a great start.

[@danielhurd1452]

Honey syrup also mixes better with the spirit. I've lately been drinking a variation of an Old Fashioned; few dashes of orange bitters, few dashes of Angostura, 1oz honey syrup and 2oz of an Islay Scotch (Ardbeg 10) garnish with 1 Luxardo cherry.. it's been a great drink so far.

[@Savayan]

I suspect the reason why ChatGPT does a decent job of creating the skeleton of a good cocktail is that there's a pretty mechanistic 'structure' to a good cocktail, so it's able to get a passable mix of ingredients just based on their proximity to each other in cocktail recipes. The ratios and actual volumes are a bit out to lunch because it doesn't understand how a cocktail works, it just pulls together the ingredients probabilistically.

[@hxcdsal89]

This is a great idea for a video. Would love to see pt 2

[@DeltaV64]

That was a fascinating episode to watch, I would love to see more of AI generated drinks. Perhaps you could ask ChatGPT to make a drink and then to generate a visual description of that drink ? Then you can put the description to MidJourney ? Oh man!

[@DeltaV64]

Also, you can teach ChatGPT as well. If you think a generated drink does not work, point out why you think it might not work.

[@096face3]

It’s funny: I HATE alcohol, never could stand the stuff. But your show is so laid-back and fun to watch, I haven’t been able to stop coming back.

[@uria3679]

Please do one of the drinks from Monster Camp or Monster Roadtrip

[@germx1488]

This was fascinating, more of this please, also like the Meredith cam, great episode!

[@marcusraines4803]

This sounds like a good upgrade for Alexa. Just look in your fridge or pantry, shout out what you have and the A.I. creates you a meal. Or you announce how you feel and the A.I. gives you a possible meal to complement your mood.

[@sanddry738]

That could be a fun test! And even if the AI makes something not quite right you can adjust the recipients or get your own idea going

[@TheJackMouse]

5:13 the refrence to Wintermute made me smile. Nicely done

[@Aencii]

I feel like the Deckard's Dream needs to use artificial maple syrup.

[@weldonwin]

"Deckard's got some demons!" Well yeah, when you shoot a fleeing woman in the back as she runs for her life, crashing through windows in her desperation, you can only tell yourself "Its just a Replicant" so many times before you want to drown yourself in whiskey

[@cherryllcooper679]

Digging the “Bubbles in the Grass” as I REALLY enjoy St Germain/Prosecco.

[@autumnal_ambrosia]

I would definitely look into current artist's criticisms of midjourney and other AI art programs, they're pretty insidious, alongside the intention behind them

[@FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

Yeah. Ive seen some articles and threads going pretty deep into it. One of them had a side by side of training images (which may have been acquired without permission) and output images and many of them were way too similar. It's not as simple as "getting inspiration from," especially if it can output much faster than artists can - a lot of them were just blatant copies (even if not all the pixels were exactly the same). And that's not to even mention the factor of capitalism / how our society is currently structured, meaning it will be used instead of giving people jobs.

[@Radicaljuice]

I would love to see more of this it was so interesting to see someone try these cocktails

[@Grexsome]

Aren’t Chat GPTs moderators sweatshop workers? Edit: this is just in response to him calling midJourney more controversial

[@FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

Supposedly yeah

[@abaddonarts1129]

I think it makes sense that it does so well here, there's somewhat of a science to mixing if you know what does and doesn't work together, so it presents the best combination of ingredients that fit the theme of your prompt

[@Torguemada]

It doesn't know any of that though, its just giving you words that often go together in coctails.

[@Fooma777]

Greatly enjoying the Merebear cave cam, these drinks were wild too.

[@Zindureth]

Honestly, I feel like an AI bar where you input your idea, and it spits out a recipe for the bartender to make could be really successful. Maybe not a place you go for "good" drinks but one for the experience for sure!

[@crow-jane]

Sounds like a fun idea for a pop-up, maybe.

[@bombshellblonde544]

God damn this was such a good idea for an episode. I LOVE the interpreting a picture idea. That is such a cool display of creativity and allows you to flex what you've learned after all these years. I have been trying to figure out what to do with my St Germain other than just add it to a Tom Collins, so I'm definitely thinking I need to try that Bubbles in the Grass There's an official How to Drink discord? Oh my goodness. I did NOT know about this somehow, after all the content I've watched. That might just be what tips me over the edge after a long time of considering adding another monthly subscription to my collection 👀

[@EnderTheBlack]

please do not support AI "art" Image generators. otherwise, good video!

[@skycondon2743]

This has been my favorite episode in a while. A really cool idea, and I think you should make this a little series

[@NameIsEri]

Rare Greg L

[@AuntieHauntieGames]

I agree on the absinthe, though I was thinking an absinthe wash at the start rather than a spritz.

[@ThaMorseCode]

Not the person I'd have expected to go full Cryptobro defensive of a problematic thing that exploits working people. Sad to see. Would hope the responses of pointing out issues would cause a change, or at least enough to hold back and wait, instead of just a flaling, defensive tantrum calling for every minutiae to explain why it's wrong. Either listen to people, or just say it with your chest that you don't care about the problematic aspects cause you like to play with the shiny new toy. Lost a supporter, and hopefully enough others to cause an inward critical examination to improve.

[@howtodrink]

I have said it with my chest here and on Twitter, to you specifically: I’m pretty sure you have no idea how this works. From my reading on this subject, it seems to me that this machine works in exactly the same way that you do, goes through exactly the same process, and is for all intents and purposes “an artist”, not a plagiarism machine. That said- I *am* against ever using these tools to replace the work done by actual humans, I’m not going to hire fewer artists because this thing exists. If Netflix does, that’s on them. I think you should step back here and get some air, you seem to have been whipped into a moral panic about a thing that no one has ever even explained to you.

[@ThaMorseCode]

@@howtodrink I have no idea what you are reading on the topic then. It might be different perspectives since my information is coming largely from artists that have been directly affected. I'm unsure where you get the idea that the algorithm functions the way humans do either. If I were to guess, I'd assume either it's from the developers who attempt to frame it that way, or that you might not have a great understanding of how human learning functions. I won't commit to anything since I do not know you, or what you've been told or by whom. I'm not an expert on machine learning by any means, but the way it has been explained to me is drastically different than what I know of human learning, which I am well versed in as I've done work in educational psychology. The ad hominem, saying I haven't had it explained because my perspective disagrees with yours, and trying to play up my emotions by saying it's a "moral panic" are all uncalled for, while also being rude and incorrect. Regardless, it's not what my comment here was about. I was commenting on your reaction and defensiveness toward feedback, and the lack of acknowledgement toward the problems in how the datasets to "teach" the AI are generated or the concequences that, as well as AI flooding markets, has toward the artists who rely on their art labor for income. I appreciate you now acknowledging here at least, the issue of using it to cut labor costs and value as well as the claim of not letting it lessen the value you give to the labor of artists, however.

[@FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

@@ThaMorseCode I 100% agree with you and I'm very into tech and programming. It's being marketed in ways disguising how it is. People have been able to get mostly unmodified inputs as outputs, which is very concerning given how most of the time training data was scraped and used without permission. I've mentioned in other threads, but the outputs of AI are already being used to pressure people into lower wages or replacing them entirely, and we are not doing anything to support creators (etc) who struggle because of it. And that's even ignoring things like deepfakes.

[@CashewChickenEnjoyer]

Hey! I've been watching for a while now. From entertainment to actually teaching me how to not be garbage at mixing drinks (for the most part, i'm still pretty bad though), you've shown us a lot. However I'd love to see you do a video or series of videos on doing simple, yet robust mixed drinks with various popular kinds of liquor. An episode on Rum, another on whiskey, another on tequila or vodka or frankly whatever you've been recently enjoying. I'm mostly interested in rum myself, because frankly speaking a bottle of kraken, some key lime, and literally any cheap cola will go a long way to fixing my mood after a bad day at work, however I'd love to see anything you'd be willing to do.

[@Aencii]

Man, that thumbnail makes me uncomfortable. You look more like Harry Du Bois than you ever have....
