Ask HN: What startup would you make if you had access to GPT-3?
There are a couple of popular startups that are growing really fast but they all solve one problem: Generating Headlines or Copy using GPT-3
My question is what startup would you make if you had access to GPT-3?
I'll start first: I'd make something like https://grammarly.com or http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ which takes your blog post & removes all the jargon words from it. So it will be easier to read by even kids.
- st1x7 6y agoDo we care about maximising profit? If yes, I would focus on providing the model's results or access to the model to other companies. It's equivalent to selling shovels in the gold rush of ML. That's provided that I would be able to overcome the personal feeling that what I'm selling is useless and I'm essentially scamming every customer.
- deadcoder0904 6y agoNot sure how that'll work? GPT-3 has more data than us. I've heard they run a computer for something like trillion years. > That's provided that I would be able to overcome the personal feeling that what I'm selling is useless and I'm essentially scamming every customer. Some people are ruthless & well, some can never be.
- st1x7 6y ago> GPT-3 has more data than us. The model shouldn't have any data. > I've heard they run a computer for something like trillion years. I don't think so, the project started only a couple of years ago.
- deadcoder0904 6y ago> I don't think so, the project started only a couple of years ago. Oh so you haven't done the research. It can start a couple of years ago but it has some computer power that ran it for like trillion years. There's some YouTube guy who talked about it. I don't know the technicalities but that's the truth. Maybe not trillion, he might've said billions but it's still a lot.

- giantg2 6y agoProbably a lot of money in an automated phone line for companionship/phone sex if you have the right voice models to work with it. That might even be extensible to other phone systems, such as basic product support call centers. If you actually think this is a good idea, feel free to steal it. I have no ability to pursue it.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoHow about using GPT-3 to waste telemarketers' time when the give you spam phone calls?
- deadcoder0904 6y agoIf OnlyFans works, then I don't think your idea should have any problem.
- darrenwestall 6y agoHow do you get access out of interest? I’ve been on the waitlist for a long time now
- deadcoder0904 6y agoI didn't get access either lol. You have to either have a great idea or had to join in early. Or do something like 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-...
