The Alium

Generating satirical AI news using AI.

New articles are generated & posted 3 times daily on www.thealium.com & shared @alium_ai:

• Get top article matching the 'artificial intelligence' filter from GNews API or Metaphor
• Generate satirical article based only on the title using GPT-4 (with fallback to GPT 3.5)
• Generate image prompt with GPT 3.5 & image with DALLE-2
• Create post as a markdown file

TODO

• Find a better news source than GNews API
• Improve image generation (article title -> image prompt is not very good & gets cencored sometimes)
