GPT-3 Has Learned to Code, Blog and Argue
- joana035 6y agoJust need to learn how to debug and troubleshoot now...

- OzzyB 6y agoYou obviously need to just say "Hal, run diagnostics".
- LarvaFX 6y agoHey Siri, open the iPod bay doors!
- joana035 6y ago"diagnostics completed, solving root problem, building Skynet..." :P
- ASalazarMX 6y agoI know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you. This quote always gets me. He couldn't help being a traitorous murderer, but he sounded so sincere.
- throwaway4good 6y agoAnd certainly has the most important skill ... marketing.
- zakember 6y agoNope. That part is outsourced to humans.
- rxsel 6y agoDoes anyone know if the code GPT-3 writes is Web Scale?
- corobo 6y agoit's actually just one massive index.php file but they use opcache so it's ok
- mhh__ 6y agoThe level of discussion presented by the MongoDB fan in that video is basically what GPT-3 does, completely superficial waffle strung together in roughly valid sentences. Obviously 80% of everything else is crap too, but our brains do it for about 20W. That latter figure makes me think we aren't even close.
- jb1991 6y agoBy "argue" they almost mean "troll". Meaningful debate, from all the examples I've seen, does not appear to be a skill of this new lifeform.
- ardy42 6y ago> By "argue" they almost mean "troll". Meaningful debate, from all the examples I've seen, does not appear to be a skill of this new lifeform. That's good enough to use for disinformation and other kinds of control. The propaganda tactic that actually seems to work is not to convince your opponents of anything, but rather to exhaust, fragment, and confuse them.
- wagslane 6y agoYeah... is discussion helpful to anyone if it isn't coming from a human? hmmm
- dbbljack 6y agomedical students could use this to practice difficult end-of-life conversations with a chatbot
- alexvoda 6y agoSo we are just an inch closer to this: https://xkcd.com/810/ https://xkcd.com/810/
- commonturtle 6y agoGive it 20 years :)
- free2OSS 6y agoI'm getting a bug halfway down the page with Firefox on Android, couldn't read about learning to code. Coding may be a good use of this as someone noted that gpt3 can often give creative answers more often than objective answers. There currently is no objective solution to problems after abstraction. "Good enough" is somewhat the motto in programming. On the contrary, if you ask it to design a bridge(or new invention), it would need to combine both specifications with somewhat complicated physics and geometry. Unlike in Programming, 'Good enough' is not ok, it needs to be perfect. Would be a fantastic tool if every profession could skip the time consuming process of writing and debugging code.
- thrill 6y ago"Someone" (you know who you are) needs to create a HN account for GPT-3 under a cute name so it can be our Sheldon.
