That is incredible. It would be an absurd request to ask if a human much less a computer, and so in filling it so well Lem demonstrates the machine's capabilities fat better than any catalog if spec's or everyday human-level task could convey. A truly masterful example of "show, don't tell".
- throwlem 5y agoWell, I have just tried with GPT-3 Prompt (almost verbatim Lem): "Write a love poem, lyrical, pastoral, and expressed in the language of pure mathematics. Tensor algebra mainly, with a little topology and higher calculus, if need be. But with feeling and in the cybernetic spirit. In verses." Output: In the space of my heart your love is a point defined by certain coordinates (x, y, z) that exist in a specific time t. But your love is more than that it's also a vector with magnitude and direction that can be graphed on a coordinate plane. Your love is a function of time and space it's a curve that's always changing but always coming back to me. It's the limit of my heart's desires and the product of our two hearts' vectors. Yes, it sucks, but it looks like we're getting there.
- samstave 5y agoHOLY CRAP! That poem is epic. I LOVE IT! --- That's one of the best things I have read.

- billiam 5y agoWow, that does suck. And where exactly are do you think we are getting? Use enough flops to raise the temp of the planet slightly to make banal doggerel? Seems like quite the wrong thing to do with GPT-3.
- samstave 5y agoI think that poem is beautiful.... Apparently, I am the Beholder.
