Observatory was a poetry project created for the html review. It pulled recent feelings from the internet into an unpredictable exquisite corpse. The words were (mostly) written by people, not generated by machines.
today, we saw
A travel log that documents a day's trip across the image-filled web. The log's contents were generated using a custom Chrome extension that looks for alt text - short descriptions that accompany many of the web's images. While alt text typically lives "behind the scenes", the log flips the concept inside-out: it brings the text to the surface, and reveals alt images only on inspection.

To create these pieces, I started by writing fragments of text about the animal/plant in each section. I used these fragments as prompts for the GPT-3 engine, which produced AI-generated text in response. I then went through an editorial process, in which I edited the generated text and experimented with using some of this generated material as new prompts for the GPT-3 system. In the end, each piece is a combination of fragments of text that I wrote and edited fragments of text generated by the AI.
