Yes, pretty much. As Marcus admits in his writeup, even despite using doubly adversarially filtered GPT-3 errors, the final errors are due mostly to bad (no) prompting and then penalizing GPT-3 for not telepathically reading his mind in order to provide a serious response to a silly question.
I'm about halfway through the first 25 errors or so (it's very tedious so I've been putting it off), and as expected, GPT-3 is often correct zero-shot if you use even a trivial short prompt like 'This is a series of scenarios describing a human taking actions in the world, designed to test physical and common-sense reasoning.'
- gwern 6y agoThe point about prompting also applies to the GPT-2 counterexamples Marcus published earlier this year, and conspicuously fails to discuss in this one, BTW.
