GPT-3 understands ASCII art but not rasterized images
By
–



It definitely can understand small, cartoon-style ASCII art (e.g. it knows ">" is a fish and "(o_o)" is a face) but it isn't good at rasterized images. E.g. GPT-3 could do this back in August:

GPT-3 identifies ASCII art MNIST as ‘8’ 57%, ‘4’ absent in top-5

There's a thread going around claiming ChatGPT / GPT‑3 can recognize subjects (e.g. "a bird", "a person") in images rasterized as ASCII art. I'm skeptical. E.g., GPT‑3 identifies this ASCII-art MNIST digit as "8" 57% of the time and "4" doesn't appear in its top-5 choices:

I also overengineered some aspects of it for fun… I wanted to apply what I have learned in the fast ai course, so I created a midwit meme image classifier that I integrated into the twitter bot

Clarification on Query and Key in Attention Mechanisms
By
–
nice, exactly! 🙂
(except you're swapping q's and k's – q is the query, the "what am i looking for", k is the key, the "what do i have", and in encoder-decoder the key,value from come from side. admittedly confusing because in dictionaries the _key_ is the "lookup" information.)
