It requires creative input. It's just remixing what it already knows. Once you've exhausted that you're back to needing human creativity again.
- lambertsimnel 5y agoWhat are we humans are doing differently when we're being creative? I don't imagine we produce creativity out of nothing but effort. It seems to me that the source of our creativity is external, either in the form of experiences or in the form of processes that predate our experiences. Maybe both, but I wonder why machines couldn't in principle do the same.
- wvenable 5y agoHumans actually understand the words and concepts -- we aren't simply re-arranging words. That being said, we aren't doing anything machines couldn't eventually do (we are, after all, machines outselves). But GPT-3 is not what we do.
