From a quick search on Gary, he's, in essence, spreading the word that GPT-3 isn't an AGI. Maybe this is useful to laymen to quench fears that it is one, but how should this garner a relationship with OpenAI? There are still people who have access who admit it's not, including OpenAI themselves already. I do wish the model was truly published openly, but despite it not being an AGI, it's already powerful enough to be potentially used for nefarious purposes. I do think there's an argument to be made that we should try to keep it in a good light to further interest in the field. How many more articles do we need like the one linked by OP?

How many more articles do we need like the one linked by OP? This is how winter happens and is a decidedly anti-scientific mindset. Do you consult with non-technical/low-technical execs on AI investments? If you did, the answer to your question would be obvious. For every dollar Microsoft and VC firms can spend on "we're the best technical minds in the world" Research&Marketing departments, there are thousands dollars in the rest of the economy that can only be captured by ensuring execs make prudent AI investments. Step zero is always deconstructing the hype around GPT/Alpha*/etc.
- hnuser123456 6y agoIs a winter not a widespread lack of interest in the field? I would stay step 0 is getting people interested by showing what's possible, and step 1 is showing what's not currently possible but should be.
