I applaud the author for going out of his way to make his writing look like GPT-3 output madness.

  Funny you should say that but I couldn't help thinking while reading that article that it wasn't written by a human. Some of the grammar is... odd! I can't put my finger on it (apart from some grammatical mistakes) but it just seems off and kind of had no real point to make. Maybe I'm looking into it too much...

  I assume you are talking about this: > if Turkey pushes forward with its plans to survey for has in Greece’s exclusive economic zone I was actually thinking that GPT-3 wouldn't make such a mistake and would probably make a pretty great grammar checker!

    It's just a single-letter fat-finger typo: "has" ---> "gas".

      Right but a spell checker would not catch that. GPT-3 would. I mean, admittedly so would MS Word's grammar checker but maybe GTP-3 would be more reliably.

  Not a native speaker, so some grammatical mistakes may elude me. But in general this is pretty much an opinion piece that could be found in any print publication before 2000. Everything is dramatized of course, but that is pretty much the pre-Internet version of buy-a-magazine-at-the-kiosk bait. The Economist had a lot of these pessimistic prediction articles.

    Well now I feel bad! So this is an actual prediction of war or just politics being dramatised?

  Would GPT-3 mistake a noun for a verb? For instance the author used "coincide" when "coincidence" is what they obviously meant.
