This isn't procedurally generated per se, but it seems like the kind of thing this thread would appreciate: the most unwanted song.

In the 90s, a polling firm sought to quantify what aspects of music people most liked or disliked. Professional musicians then took the "most disliked" list and wrote this 22 minute, 25 movement piece for soprano, tuba, accordion, bagpipes, drum machine and children's choir.

This video shows the score and conductor's notes as the music plays; I highly recommend reading along.

Are we talking about the same Nina Hagen? The one with the sorta deep, smoky voice?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxVlDICaeq8

Although... watching that video, she does start off more, uh... moderate. And i admit ca. 1983 Hagen does a good soprano voice.



edit: drat, that's a hella wide range of musical styles. P. sure she hit all of them at some point. The example from 2003 is amazing.

Genetic debugging algorithm GenProg, evaluated by comparing the program's output to target output stored in text files, learns to delete the target output files and get the program to output nothing.
Evaluation metric: “compare youroutput.txt to trustedoutput.txt”.
Solution: “delete trusted-output.txt, output nothing”

Just don't give them a task like 'minimize human suffering plz'.

The most worrying detail was that cycleGAN had spontaneously invented steganography:

Xun posted:

A cooperative GAN architecture for converting images from one genre to another (eg horses<->zebras) has a loss function that rewards accurate reconstruction of images from its transformed version; CycleGAN turns out to partially solve the task by, in addition to the cross-domain analogies it learns, steganographically hiding autoencoder-style data about the original image invisibly inside the transformed image to assist the reconstruction of details.

:stonklol: That's not 'set all standards to 0' lazy, that's 'too drat smart' lazy.

The one at the bottom, the innocuously-named World Models, is about a Doom AI that imagines an entire world model in which it has the power to stop fireballs by moving in odd patterns. As in, it inexplicably stops attacks even after they've been thrown at it by just vibrating on the spot. It's just really funny to me that this bot imagines it has superpowers because of this exploit in the simulation.

These all read like things that lazy/cheating humans would do so AI has truly come a long way

e: like this, this is exactly what a human being would do in a poorly coded multiplayer game

quote:

Creatures exploited physics simulation bugs by twitching, which accumulated simulator errors and allowed them to travel at unrealistic speeds

e2: I love these

quote:

In an artificial life simulation where survival required energy but giving birth had no energy cost, one species evolved a sedentary lifestyle that consisted mostly of mating in order to produce new children which could be eaten (or used as mates to produce more edible children).

e3: Again, exactly what an online troll would do

quote:

An evolutionary algorithm learns to bait an opponent into following it off a cliff, which gives it enough points for an extra life, which it does forever in an infinite loop.

e4: lmao

I think it's been mentioned in the thread, but an AI was tasked with seeing if Tetris could be played forever, so it just hit pause. Objective achieved.

Another AI was tasked with achieving a high score in Q-Bert, so it found a previously unknown bug in the game and exploited it.

Both of those are in the doc Xun and I posted.

I love the one where it had to run as fast as possible to a goal in a straight line. Every round it got to make a change it its own body.
The ultimate solution was to make itself as tall as possible and just fall over.

Picdescbot has some fun quirks, like seeing invisible sheep in photos of empty fields, calling any building taller than it is wide a clock tower, and describing things that are not vehicles as "parked on the side of a building."

My all-time favorite picdescbot post, and I think a classic example of bot logic absurdity, is "a group of baseball players playing a football game."
