I read the beginning, went "what the fuck is this guy on about? Get to the point" and then came to check the comments to if this was anything interesting or worth reading, saw your comment, and skimmed the end bit. Overall I'm pleased with my process as its an efficient way to find out which articles are worth reading. But it was also clear to me that the author had difficulty making a clear point or had a goal in his writing. I skipped through it for a reason and I suspect many other people did as well.
- ALittleLight 6y agoFrom your comment it's not clear to me if you realize the author of the article is GPT-3.
- mdoms 6y agoIt's very clear to me that he does not. But he does an excellent job of making GP's point.
- jjoonathan 6y agoErr, it seems very clear to me that he does realize GPT-3 is the author, and that it was easily caught by his bullshit filter. Which was my experience too -- but I am less dismissive. I regularly see human-produced bullshit get very far with less coherence than these examples from GPT-3. GPT-3 isn't AGI, but it's weapons-grade in a way that GPT-2 wasn't.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoOK, but a weapons-grade BS generator is not what the world needs right now...
- jjoonathan 6y agoReady or not, here GPT-3 comes.
- Proven 6y agoHow so? The instantly realized TFA was garbage and gave up on it.
- c3534l 6y agoI do, but I see how that wasn't clear.
- cryptoz 6y agoAt this point I'm not even sure if that particular comment was written by GPT-3 or not.
- c3534l 6y agoI swear I'm not a robot, I pass Google captchas and everything!
- thom 6y agoI’m human and regularly don’t.
- more-coffee 6y agoYou say you're human, but how can we know for sure?
- thom 6y agoHow does it make you feel that I say I’m human?
- StavrosK 6y agoI'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but that means you aren't human.
- crucialfelix 6y agoYes, we have poorly written babble from humans too. Now we will have weapons grade babbling from machines. The result is that worthwhile public discussion is dying. We have to transition now to secure verified communication. Either that or the bots fork off a new cultural discourse and we treat them like a new form of entertainment.
- nashadelic 6y agoI feel bad for realizing I give authors benefits of doubts and let them ramble for me to learn the point. I guess I need to drop my bar when I'm reading but a LOT of people ramble a lot. Almost every blog post I ready, I skip the first 2 paragraphs because they're just an intro/context which you already know from the headline or prior knowledge.
