HN shouldn't be viewed as the highest bar for collective expertise here.
- YeGoblynQueenne 5y agoWhat I mean is that there are many people commenting on HN and that makes for a large number of people who think GPT-3 is somehow "intelligent".
- spywaregorilla 5y agoSure. A lot of people believe in bigfoot though. Most of them don't matter in the space of studying primates or whatever we're calling him.
- CRConrad 5y agoThe context here was: >> >> It is not an interesting take to say “but GPT-3 isn’t actually intelligent!”. Everyone knows. GP showed that not "everyone knows" this. You're quibbling, trying to move the goalposts.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoI don't really care to debate semantics here. It felt clear to me that the context of "everyone" was the ML academic community. If you have a different take, that's fine.
- CRConrad 5y ago"Not debating semantics" is, like patriotism, the eternal refuge of the scoundrel. Everything can be reduced, in the end, to "debating semantics".
