I did some experiments last summer trying to get GPT-3 to author quizbowl questions, a type of trivia question. As expected, GPT-3's loose relationship with the truth made these results not acceptable. But a system that really could generate new questions from existing facts would be immensely useful in this domain.

For instance, it needs to generate paragraph-long questions with the clues that go from the most to least difficult. This is hard skill for a human to learn, much less a machine.
- polm23 6y agoAh, that does sound difficult.
