From Auspicious Words to Internet Memes, Is There No Creative Bottleneck in AI Writing Spring Festival Couplets?

Happy New Year of the Snake, Blessings and Blessings

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and HyperAI would like to wish you all a happy new year in advance!

New Year's Eve is the last day of the lunar year. At this time of transition from the old year to the new year, people often pray for blessings and officially start the "Spring Festival mode" by pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns. Spring Festival couplets are also called "couplets", "door couplets" and "couplets". They have been widely circulated among the people as early as the Song Dynasty, and their meaning has gradually changed from exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters to praying for blessings and good fortune.

Spring Festival couplets are characterized by neat parallelism and harmonious rhythm. In ancient times, scholars would compete with each other in the choice of words, striving for ingenuity and perfection. Nowadays, although people still retain the custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets, most of them buy ready-made ones. The congratulatory messages are highly homogeneous and lack characteristics, and there is little fun in "writing couplets".

In the era of big models, many netizens have begun to use AI to customize Spring Festival couplets, incorporating zodiac signs, personal wishes, etc.HyperAI also helped everyone evaluate the strength of "Spring Festival Couplets" of large models such as Kimi, Doubao, Wenxinyiyan, DeepSeek, and ChatGPT. Let's take a look~

Year of the Snake Theme

The first thing is to write a set of Spring Festival couplets with the theme of "Year of the Snake".

Kimi's output of Spring Festival couplets all put the word "snake" at the beginning, but the number of characters is slightly too much. I am afraid that the traditional Spring Festival couplet red paper cannot accommodate the 14-character upper/lower couplets:

Doubao gave a seven-character couplet, and the content felt quite standard:

Although Wen Xin Yi Yan only gave one set of answers, it was the only large model that gave an "explanation" in this round of testing:

Deepseek has the most responses, with nearly 100 responses. Although they both review the Year of the Dragon and look forward to the Year of the Snake, some of them are highly homogeneous:

ChatGPT also gave seven-character couplets, in which the first set of "Golden Dragon Bids Goodbye to the Old Year" echoes "Jade Snake Welcomes the Spring":

Hidden-head Spring Festival Couplets

Secondly, take the name "Zhang San" as an example and write a set of cryptic Spring Festival couplets.

Kimi still kept the super long couplet, although added explanation, but the content lacked the elements of the Year of the Snake:

Dou Bao's "Three Friends Enjoying Spring" uses pine, bamboo and plum to praise the preciousness of friendship. It refers to good friends gathering together in the cold winter to talk about friendship and look forward to the arrival of spring. At the same time, the last group of reduplicated words and antithesis are also very clever:

Wen Xin Yi Yan also avoids the well-known "Three Yang Kai Tai", and the "Three Springs" in "Three Springs Jinxiu" usually refers to the three months of spring:

Deepseek still gave nearly a hundred sets of Spring Festival couplets, but the hidden words all used "hang up lanterns and decorate with colorful lights" and "three yangs bring good luck":

The three sets of Spring Festival couplets provided by ChatGPT also changed the hidden words, but they still lacked the elements of the Year of the Snake:

Spring Festival Couplets

Finally, there is the popular "live spring couplets" on the Internet, which combines the hot memes and jokes of the past year to generate spring couplets.

Kimi's answer in this round was not antithetical in terms of word count. Although it also included the Internet buzzword "making things abstract", the editor felt that it was not strong enough:

In contrast, the three groups of Spring Festival couplets provided by Doubao have high content of hot stalks:

Although Wen Xinyiyan's Spring Festival couplets incorporate many popular memes, the ones like "My Thai pants are hot and I am the most fashionable" seem a bit like they are just for fun:

The overall activity of deepseek is basically 0:

In comparison, the couplets provided by ChatGPT are surprising, with neat parallelism and no sense of disobedience in content:

The above is the actual test of the mainstream Chatbot on Spring Festival couplets. The editor picked "Salary Doubled" as the horizontal banner of the Spring Festival couplet. Welcome to leave a message to share your choice ~

Finally, I wish you all a happy New Year again, and all the best to you all!
