I'm fairly bearish on GPT-3, but this is actually a pretty cool application.
- fastball 6y agoCare to expand on your generally bearish stance? I've seen a lot of cool / practical uses for GPT-3.
- NateEag 6y agoOne thing that bothers me is how it completely automates something like the process of citogenesis: https://xkcd.com/978/ https://xkcd.com/978/ It was trained on the internet, a gigantic repository of half-truths and misinformation, and it has no actual understanding of truth or falsehood. Ask it for things and you get a plausible-sounding summary, good enough that most people will not fact-check the gibberish it's spewing. Especially not when you glorify the big pile of automated statistical analysis with the title "AI". There are plenty of other issues with it, but that'll do for a start.
- fastball 6y agoNone of the uses that I've thought are cool are trying to find "truth" though. For example, just the other day I needed to make a system that was able to take user entered country names and convert them to standardized ISO country codes. With GPT-3 I made something with fantastic accuracy and error correcting ability in about two minutes.
- stochastimus 6y agoYeah, I'm really hoping there's a way to reliably corral it into basic plain-language restatement of the logs themselves without it going too far afield or speculating. We will see.
