GPT-3 is (the process of) general AI being born in front of our eyes, catching us unprepared, making us realize that the we may be a bit rigid in understanding of what intelligence really means. If primed correctly, can GPT-3 produce worthwhile improvements to its own paper or implementation? Can GPT-3 be made to prime and query itself in a loop, by asking it to produce a better query for itself? Can its knowledge be already used to disrupt existing frontiers of human thought? The simple and safe answer here is that we don't know yet.
In a world full of ideological adversity and cold-blooded corporate competition, slowing down the release of technology which may or may not be capable of a runaway effect (a.k.a. technological singularity) in the hands of an adversary is an intelligent and prudent thing to do.
- metafunctor 6y agoNope. The simple and safe answer to all those questions is certainly “no”. GPT-3 not intelligent in the way we most of us would describe intelligence.
- icebergwarrior 6y agoI don't think you can make such definitive statements. GPT-3 is certainly intelligent the way a lot of us would describe intelligence. It can produce content in a way this is indistinguishable from humans. We don't know what else it can do. We don't know the pace of improvements happening here. There are a lot of open questions.
