True. The potential of GPT-3 to cause internet mayhem was/is significant. I would argue that the mere act of announcing it was still a catalyst for an eventual GPT-3-like model being released. In revealing it, they established a target for what open source models could aim to achieve, and simultaneously got bad actors thinking about ways to abuse it.
- zarzavat 4y agoIt was a credible argument when GPT-3 was released. But now there are open models that are as capable as GPT-3 and that mayhem has not materialized, with the possible exception of GPT-4chan. They could release it now under a non-commercial license, if they cared to.
- jfoster 4y agoCan you provide an example of an open model as capable as GPT-3? I know there's some "mini-GPT" type models around, but they don't seem nearly as capable.
- zarzavat 4y agoMy experience with GPT-3 is that while it does perform better than those mini-GPT small models, the gap does not compensate for the fact that the small models are free/unrestricted and you can use them as much as you like. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread there are some large models around the 50-200B band that compete directly with GPT-3, but I haven’t used these.
