> I base that on the fact that people seemed to spend quite a bit of time trying to find the phrase "the confetti has left the cannon" that GPT-4 phrased. It seems Google search has no records of it before then?
Could it be that the expression in some form has been used in languages other than English?
If that is the case, it would downgrade the achievement from "super impressive" to just "impressive".
I spent some time trying to find it in other languages, but couldn't. Doesn't prove much of course, hopefully native speakers can weigh in on this.
I did find this though:
'TIL that a young stripper named Shelly Bauman lost her leg in a freak confetti cannon accident. She sued and used the money from the settlement to open Seattle's first gay bar, which she named "Shelly's Leg."'
