Ask HN: How can GPT-3 help humanity fight Covid-19?
After watching all those amazing videos of GPT-3 I couldn't stop wondering if it can help in any way with covid-19!
- minimaxir 6y agoIt was trained on data prior to October 2019, so it can't help with COVID-19.
- detaro 6y agoI guess it can keep some people indoors and occupied...
- uberman 6y agoHelp as in keep people entertained, or help as in solve some medical research question?
- sp332 6y agoGPT-3 is just a language model. You have to give it some information to work with. Maybe it could convert statistics or study results into layman's terms?
- jeffreygoesto 6y agoIt can't. Get a life.
- rvz 6y ago> After watching all those amazing videos of GPT-3 Those 'amazing' GPT-3 videos only gloss over the good side of what GPT-3 can do given an input. They'll never tell you the number of times they cherry picked and edited the output or the mistakes it makes nor can GPT-3 itself reason of why it has generated that output or chosen those words in the sentences it generates. If a black box neural network like GPT-3 still can't explain itself, then it cannot possibly safely help "humanity fight COVID-19" or any disease if you show the generated results to a medical professional. So beware the hype brigade.
