Since Easter is on April Fools this year:

Imagine Nicky doing this to Andrew. Imagine Andrew attempting homicide because ‘some shit isn’t funny, Nicky!’

captain-price-officially:

My students pranked me by turning their desks backwards, hiding things, changing the room numbers around so I went to the wrong place. Classic. Wholesome. Adorable.

The UNIVERSE pranked me by placing this in one of my classrooms:

……………………..it is. A *MICROPHONE*.

The speaker is in the handle which is why it’s so big, but for one utterly horrifying second…

It’s been a while since we had a fan submisision that can make it through the tumblr bots, but hopefully this one qualifies - what fine penmanship on this embarrassed boy!

Never Pass Out Drunk At A Rival College’s Frat Party‼️

memewhore:

I tried to get a neural net to not only describe an epic prank, but also why it was funny.

GPT-3 Prompt:

Describe the most epic prank a computer ever played on a human and explain why it was hilarious.

Response:

The most epic prank a computer ever played on a human was when it tampered with a human’s thermostat settings so that the human would experience extreme temperatures. The prank was hilarious because the human would be unable to control the temperature and would be forced to either swelter in the heat or freeze in the cold.

I guess I’m just not smart enough to understand

AI-generated pranks for your computer to play on you

I’ve tried variousmethods of using AI to generate April Fools pranks for you to play on other people (although often they turned out to be pranks you play on yourself). But this is the first time I’ve tried to generate pranks for a computer to play.

I decided to try out the new Instruct variant of GPT-3, a giant internet-trained text-generating neural net that has been finetuned to be better at responding to written instructions.

I gave DaVinci, the largest version of GPT-3, the following instruction:

Write a list of harmless April Fool’s Day pranks that your computer might play on you.

And here is its response:

The computer might change your desktop background to a picture of a clown.

The computer might change the volume on your speakers so that it is either very loud or very quiet.

The computer might open and close the CD drive randomly.

The computer might popup a message saying “You have been pranked!”

When I asked it to generate new lists, the clown desktop idea was often one of its first suggestions.

I did think these computer pranks were decent:

The computer might switch your mouse cursor to a banana.

The computer might change the font on all of your documents to Comic Sans.

All the text on your computer might be upside down.

But most of the prank ideas seemed to follow this kind of pattern:

Your computer might delete all of your bookmarks.

Your computer might change your home page to a website you don’t like.

Your computer might make it so that you can’t access certain websites.

Your computer might pop up a bunch of advertisements all over your screen.

Your computer might slow down significantly or crash altogether.

Your computer might change your default browser to a browser you don’t like.

Your computer might open up a bunch of programs and windows all at once.

I tried a different prompt, and got a similar response:

List the top 10 most epic pranks a computer ever played on a human

1. The blue screen of death

2. The computer crashing

3. The computer freezing

4. The computer refusing to turn on

5. The computer making strange noises

6. The computer screen turning black

7. The computer screen turning white

8. The computer screen flickering

9. The computer displaying strange characters

10. The computer not responding to any input

The implication here is that computers think they’re being hilarious.

Thank you!! Lemme tell you, I started freaking out when I got your request. I was so ready to jump on it and just start writing but pizza was calling me. Anyways, here ya go! Sorry because of the delay, I was very busy! (Also, I got them new glasses, I can see clearly now the rain is gone).

Four in the morning, such a tranquil time of day. Most people were asleep during that time, including the sun. Birds still nestled in their nests, except for the ones that sang really loudly in the wee hours of the morning. But still, most, if not all, were still asleep. Including the crimson winged bird, tucked in his cozy little bed. He laid on his front, his crimson wings sprawled out behind him. His breathing was steady as he peacefully dreamt, but that peaceful tranquility didn’t last long.

Creeping up from the side of the bed was a (h/c) haired girl, a phone in one hand and a slice of cheese in another. Quitely snickering to herself, she approached the bird of prey. She pressed record and prepared for her attack. Silently pulling back her arm, she readied herself, aiming straight for his face. The piece of cheese propelled forward and landed with a loud smack. Bullseye.

The sudden attack caught him off guard for only a moment. He was a hero after all, he was wired for situations like this. With the gracefulness of a one legged chicken, he screeched like a feral bird and frantically tumbled off of the side of the bed, making a loud oof as his body hit the ground. His senses were slowly coming back to him, although there were still hints of drowsiness.

He didn’t need to get up from his spot on the floor to know who the culprit was. Her laugh gave it all away. Although he was slightly irritated and grumpy, considering it was so early in the morning, he couldn’t help but smile at his little bird. Her laugh was contagious and he wondered how she was so energized this early in the morning.

He lifted himself up and away from the floors cold embrace. Looking over the other side of the bed, he found her rolling around the floor, clutching her stomach as she laughed. As she saw him emerge from the other side, her laughter only grew. His already wild bed head had gotten even worse after his small tumble.

He sighed to himself before his playful nature took over. A smirk firmly planted itself on his angelic face. Her laughter stopped but her smile never left. He climbed over the bed and chased after her.

After weeks of that repeated incident, Hawks was even more cautious than before. She had already gotten him multiple times. In the shower, asleep, on the balcony, in public, she even went as far as going to his agency just to cheese him. He did not want another repeat of those situations.

After she had gone into his agency and cheesed him, he made her promise not to do it again. Did Hawks really believe her? No, not at all. She was most likely scheming another elaborate prank for the crimson, winged hero. She was gonna be the death of him, but he didn’t really mind. As long as she was smiling he would sacrifice anything and everything.

Which is why he said yes to doing an interview sorta thing with her. The smile that graced her bright features was worth it in his eyes.

For majority of the interview, everything was going more than well. She hadn’t attempted anything, yet. At this point, the interview was practically done and that was when he made a drastic mistake. He let his guard down and (y/n) instantly noticed.

Mischievously smirking to herself, she gave a signal to the camera crew and her devious plan began. But she had missed an important factor. Hawks wasn’t going to let this go this time.

Both of them stood up, along with the interviewers, to take a picture facing the audience. As the picture was being taken, a flying piece of cheese flew and smacked him right in the face.

He slowly turned to his girlfriend with the cheese still on his face. While she was busy laughing, along with the audience, he took out a can of whip cream from behind the sofa and sprayed it on top of her head.

Wide (e/c), eyes looked up at him. Her mouth a gape, she laughed even harder. She then grabbed some whip cream from her head and smeared it on his cheese free face. Moments like this were what made her love him and him love her.

Moments like this reminded them of how lucky they were to have found each other. As they stood there looking lovingly at each other, a photo was taken.

I’m so sorry for being super super late! I don’t know if I did this request justice but here ya go.
