As someone who's used the models a fair bit (I work at OpenAI), I mentally sort applications into four buckets:
- Generative use cases, where you give the model the kernel of an idea and then you curate its output (e.g., blog writing, code completion, etc.)
- Extractive use cases, where you give the model some big piece of text, and then process it in some way (e.g., extract names and addresses, classify it, ask a question about the text)
- Transformational use cases, where you need to fix/adjust a piece of text, or translate from one domain to another (e.g., sometimes I'll use GPT-3 for little tasks like copying and pasting a table from a presentation and then asking the model to translate it to markdown; saves me a visit to Google and finding some table generator website)
- Comparisons, where you use embeddings to do search/clustering/recommendations over any set of strings (e.g., can combo nicely with the Q&A use case above, where you search over a knowledge base)
I started a repo here with some barebones examples of each: https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/ https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/
If you're looking for examples of commercial applications, OpenAI published two blog posts highlighting a few:
- GPT-3 use cases (2021): https://openai.com/blog/gpt-3-apps/ https://openai.com/blog/gpt-3-apps/
- Codex use cases (2022): https://openai.com/blog/codex-apps/ https://openai.com/blog/codex-apps/
- nicksrose7224 4y agoThis is a really nice breakdown -- I made a little side project that falls into your "Extractive" and "Comparisons" bucket: https://www.tripwise.me/ https://www.tripwise.me/ My tools uses GPT-3 to dig through Airbnb reviews to find the "cons" of staying at a particular place and summarize them neatly. You can also ask any question at all in natural language about all the listings you're evaluating. I'm bookmarking your repo for future reference, this is very useful
