I'm yet to see GPT-3 do anything commercially important? Cyc on the other hand seems to have been used in a number of sectors. Not to downplay GPT-3 - it's cool tech that produces cool demos - Cyc just seems more like a tool rather than a toy.
- montenegrohugo 5y agoGPT-3 has been used in a ton of commercially important applications. To name a few: - GitHub CoPilot (transformative imo) - Markcopy.ai, jenni.ai, etc.... Tons of content generation and SEO tools startups - AI Dungeon and such - Plenty of chatbots - It's super useful for all kinds of classification tasks too (as are all transformer models)
- CodeGlitch 5y agoThanks for the response, I'm not familiar with Markcopy.ai, jenni.ai, but the others are "toys" if we're being honest (although as I said - very cool toys). You wouldn't want to use GPT-3 to recommend drugs for a condition you feed it...would you? As far as I understand, this is the kind of problem Cyc is trying to solve with it's domain-specific rules. edit: Cyc can also tell you why it gave the response it did - something that deep nets cannot do. This is important in many fields, otherwise you cannot trust any response it produces.
- naresh_xai 5y agoCurrent set of tools in explainable AI do allow deep neural nets to tell why they gave the response that they did to a certain extent. Contact me if you want to see it applied to text based DL models, time series based DL models or Image based DL models.
