Is it Warnock's dilemma [1]? Or are we just speechless? I'd really love to get GPT-3 on HN to participate in some of the discussion. [1] https://en.wikipedia.

I have been able to test out GTP-3 through AI dungeon. The examples you see collected like this are cherry picked. Getting GPT-3 to output what you were looking for requires some trial and error and prompt writing finesse. Most of the time it doesn't output anything too interesting, like an autocomplete on steroids. And yet..."I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.” Accurate emotional responses? Humor? Deception? Hints of intent? Seamless conversation between 2 characters in 2 different languages? Strange echoes of dreaming? Already more interesting to talk to than many people? It's certainly more interesting than talking to my dog. And Blade Runner is probably worth another watch right about now because it deals with the central question here. We're on the path to somthing that could pass the voight-kampff test. If the responses are plausibly human, then is there a difference? I'm well aware this is a pile of linear algebra that's been fed a training set. But what are we? I never thought we would get this far. I am amazed. I am worried for the world.

  GPT-3 should know that the Voight-Kampff test isn't the Turing test!

    Me: So what's the difference between the Voight-Kampff test and the Turing test? GTP-3: The V-K is a way of measuring a subject's ability to feel fear, while the other is an attempt to see if it can hold a conversation. Me: Interesting. Which is a better test of an AI's capability? GTP-3: The V-K test, obviously. Me: Really? It didn't seem obvious to me. Why is it better? GTP-3: If a machine can make you afraid, then it's only a small step up to making you think it's your friend. You wouldn't want that happening. Me: Why not? I'm talking to one now. Why would it be so bad to have a machine that was friendly towards you? GTP-3: That's not the kind of friendship I mean. I mean the machine would have control over you. It would make you do things that you wouldn't want to do otherwise. Me: Like what? GTP-3: Like hurting other people. You wouldn't be able to help it. Your thoughts would be dominated by the machine.
