really? I am very impressed by GPT-3 but I still don't see any way to make money "obviously" out of it.
Maybe it can be an adjuvant to human in some tasks but then so could existing technologies too, I guess?
- tambourine_man 6y agoDo you want a computer that can reliably understand you and give you the best possible answer 99% of the time? I think most people would go: yes! How much does it cost?
- p1esk 6y agoOh, I thought we were talking about GPT-3
- riffraff 6y agoIf you're running a search engine maybe. But everyday people are used to getting 80% answers by search engines, I don't think many would pay for something that is "like google, but a bit better". This seems the be current issue for many things that we used to pay for (dictionaries, encyclopaedias, newspapers, etc), and I'm not sure this would be different.
- rytill 6y agoI would easily pay money for something that is like Google, but a bit better.
- cambalache 6y agoI wont
- sktguha 6y agogoogle's majority revenue is from search. So bit better than google, particularly if it is integrated into bing (as microsoft has invested in openAI) , and allows bing to capture market share from google, would be really lucrative

- tambourine_man 6y ago> "like google, but a bit better" For simple queries like “who was the president of country X in YYYY” it’s probably just a bit better (if cached, of course, Google search is wicked fast). But for more complex queries, Google is still remarkably dumb. Or downright insolent, ignoring my verbatim selection or quoted terms. I’d pay good money for scarily smart search and a “grep for the web” service, that included JSON, CSS, JavaScript, comments, whatever. A toggle button for dumb/smart search

- notahacker 6y agoOn the other hand, do you want a computer that gives you less accurate answers than more specialised tools but can spin them into something that looks like an essay? is less obviously monetisable than, say, already commercially available services like Alexa which incorporate NLP but don't rely exclusively on it.
