This is cool! Saving for next year’s teaching: https://talkie-lm.com/chat

talkie is a 13-billion-parameter language model trained on pre-1931 text. Read our introductory blog post. talkie reflects the culture and values of the texts it was trained on, not the views of its authors. It can produce outputs that are inaccurate or offensive.
