I have quite a bit as I find some of what it generates to be rather profound. Sometimes it's a direct copy, but that's pretty rare. What does happen pretty regularly is that it reformulates existing content. So you'll see structure of an existing statement but with a different topic so the nounds and verbs are replaced. It's quite weird.
- mkagenius 6y agoThats interesting. Its profound because it is profound, or because it replaced the nouns and verbs. Like, if you replace nouns of an existing sentences from a book on astronomy and use it in your regular conversation, wouldn't it sound profound? (like, saying to someone, hey one day you will explode like a supernova, but it will take time.)
- jcims 6y agoI would say profound in that I've read some stuff from GPT-3 that, to borrow a phrase, 'hits different'. Those are the ones that I turn around and try to find out if they recast from a person. Gwern's poetry work is a good example. 90% of it is duh to meh, but there are little sparkles of genius in there. So the profundity comes first, and I can't always find an inspiration for it. With GPT-3 in particular, that would be the exception rather than the rule.
