No, you do not get random crap from the GPT-3 API and you don’t have to tune the heat parameter, defaults are generally fine. You can get a unique formulation each time; this is generally seen as a feature rather than a bug, humans are typically the same (different words, same meaning). The big difference is that you can also get a different meaning / opinion each time - coupled with the human-like language this is disconcerting and unexpected for many people. GPT-3 is more understandable if you think of it as sampling an opinion from the internet rather than a coherent entity with its own opinions.
