Have asked this before, but GPT-3 users seem tight lipped about it. Let’s try you:
How did you get accesss to GPT-3?
I’m afraid that the way OpenAI is flicking aside applications for access from mere humans, and instead granting access to large corporate entities, tells us something about how AIs will deal with humans in the future.
- cweagans 6y agoI would also like to know this. This is exactly the kind of AI-assisted stuff I want to do, but no matter what I try, I just can't seem to get any information about how to actually get access.
- istorical 6y agoUse AI Dungeon. It's the same thing just wrapped up into a webpage. AI Dungeon tries to steer you into using GPT-3 for dungeon crawling but you can edit the prompts, text, responses, anything. I used it to simulate a paper on curing Covid.
- ekam 6y agoGreg brockman has said before on HN that if you have a cool use case you can email him and he’ll see what he can do.
- throwaway189262 6y agoI think it's more that they're trying to avoid association with the most obvious use case for GPT3. Generating spam, fake content, fake reviews, fake news. It's whole purpose is generating unlimited amounts of believable fiction. Without tight control the internet would be overrun with GPT generated trash. Bans would be called for, just like what's happening with deepfakes. That's bad for business
- quickthrower2 6y agoThey are trying to keep a genie in the bottle then!
- ravi-delia 6y agoAnd for these wonderful few months, they have succeeded. Eventually someone will train a similarly sized model and release it, but the costs involved may well be high enough for long enough that the common spammer won't be able to for a little bit.
- DarthGhandi 6y ago> How did you get access Well judging by recent posts you get it by cold emailing the CEO repeatedly, writing blogspam articles of zero worth and making YouTube videos with flip charts. At this stage GPT-3 founders seem more concerned with marketing themselves as an exclusive club than actually producing anything of note. https://www.flowrite.com/blog/how-we-got-access-to-gpt-3-in-5-days https://www.flowrite.com/blog/how-we-got-access-to-gpt-3-in-... > Described as "The best access request" by Sam Altman Cringeworthy. Yet to see anyone with access actually build a product with value, and that's before pricing kicks in. Expect more hype, more clicks and then an exit.
- chongli 6y agoThe name “OpenAI” is downright Orwellian in its hypocrisy. What are they even hoping to achieve at this point? They should just change the name.
- throwaway189262 6y agoDo initial research as a non-profit. Much cheaper, all kinds of tax breaks, funders can write off "donations". Build something to make money, switch to regular corporation, profit.
- istorical 6y agoYou could easily accomplish what the OP did by just using AI Dungeon which allows for collaborative writing with GPT-3. I've used it to write erotica. AI Dungeon is still free to use, just with a cost to use their better model.
- neural_thing 6y agoI cold emailed the CEO with the description of the project I wanted to do. Had no prior connection, got access within two days.
- ggillas 6y agoI didn't get direct access. I've requested it. But everything I did here was done in AI Dungeon and mainly, Shortly Read.
