I made a version of this for personal use to suggest emojis - at the sentence level. It works incredibly well.

The way it works, it's a Chrome Extension where I highlight a tweet I wrote, or email title and GPT-3 sparkles the perfect emoji (according to it) at the start/end of text (before the fullstop or comma)

Funny timing, I built it on Thursday!

Pretty awesome and solid suggestions. This would be a better search interface than having to type the exact name of the emoji.

I can dutifully report that "penis" faithfully suggests both and .

Edit: HN strips out emoji. I'm not mad, but why?

ehPReth
I think artificial reasons rather than technical, a sense of... superiority without them or similar if I recall.

Too many colors, I guess™

Not ALL unicode is stripped of course, so you can still get 𓂺 because that's important and an eggplant is not.

Love this! I built something similar using GPT recently: https://suggest.gift

I had to switch from OpenAI's models to GPT-J because OpenAI's policies were restrictive. How did you get around that? My guess is that since you are only outputting Emoji's it might be allowed.

Is this costing you OpenAI tokens for every new word you generate emojis for?
dvdpedros
Unfortunately, yes :( If this gets some attention I'll need to find a way to monetize it, at least to cover expenses

do you cache repeated requests? or do you always go thru openai?
planetsprite
he caches to redis, I checked the network request on common words.

This is actually really impressive. I tried a few naughty-ish words of course. 'Diarrhea' in particular gave me a chuckle for its accuracy.

This is pretty cool! I can search for emojis on my phone keyboard but it's limited, I'd love for this to be implemented in Android.

Prompt: Mom's dead

Emoji: skull

This is where I'd love for the combining characters to work on ALL emoji (dunno how so I'll just say AI) - so you could combine "Woman Feeding Baby" and "Skull" and get a skeleton woman feeding a baby (or something).

It’s weird but when I try “upset/upsetting”, I get nothing

‘Sailor’ seems to have confused it, no results, just infinite(?) progress spinner.
hyperhopper
Got the same with "Contraption"

Also the backend may be going down due to increased traffic

EDIT: simple queries that map logically to common emojis are still working. :(

Edit 2: adventurer, ruins, canal all also endlessly load.

Either there is an optimization or cache for common words, or this is useless

bckr
"dexterity" similarly
mhuffman
same with "thirst" ... gen z will not like this one bit!

Heyy, I'm the owner of the webapp. I ran out of OpenAI credits but now it works again!
bobsmooth
See if you can sell the idea to a keyboard app.
Normille
Yay! --emojis. For those times when actually writing a word is just far too much hassle.

The next stage in the human race's descent into illiteracy will be a service which translates your emojis into Neanderthal grunts.

Hey! I'm the creator of the webapp, thanks dadt for sharing! The app has been down for some hours because of the huge spike in requests (I had set a hard limit on spend in the OpenAI website), but now is running again. Thanks for all the comments! Had a great time reading them.
