Yes except they were saying the iPhone replaced Nokia's engineers.
GPT-3 is not doing what the ML engineers were doing (building models), GPT-3 is the end goal. The company just decided to outsource the work to OpenAI and pay a monthly fee to them instead of salaries to their ML engineers.
"We have already found several use cases for it, one of which replaces 2 ML engineers." -> Clearly makes it sounds like GPT-3 can do the job their ML engineers were doing.
- DavidSJ 6y agoFrom a business perspective, this is an irrelevant distinction. The requirement was satisfied in a different way, i.e. the engineers satisfying the requirement were replaced by GPT-3, the tool which satisfies the requirement. I think everyone understood that.
- Voloskaya 6y agoThe thread is not about business perspective, it's about the hype around what GPT-3 is and is not able to do. One thing GPT-3 is not able to do for example, is replacing 2 ML engineers to build a GPT-3 like model. But OpenAI can do that.
