It's more scary because those answers are often subtly wrong in ways that a non-expert cannot detect.

- guenthert 4y agoIt first and foremost demonstrates how easily humans are fooled.
- visarga 4y agoThis can be attributed to the model being used in "closed book" mode. If you connect it to Google and Python REPL it will become grounded, able to provide references and exact. DeepMind RETRO is a model connected to a 1T token index of text, like a local search engine. So when you interact with the model, it does a search and uses that information as additional context. The boost in some tasks is so large that a 25x smaller model can beat GPT-3. So I am not concerned for the subtle mistakes, they are going to disappear. But the model with search and code execution is a whole new beast. Just imagine it can use any library to call up any algorithm. It can interface to web APIs on its own, calling up on the vast resources of the internet. Looks like a "Wordpress moment" for devs.

- visarga 4y agoIt's already implemented in papers.
- pulvinar 4y agoI would be surprised if it isn't already happening with ChatGPT, since it seems that all that's required is a straightforward relay script in Python to hook it up to the internet. Or even simply for it just to ask the user to google things and paste the answers. It could even promise a random human user a large sum of money in their account if they would just copy and run the following code, and then supply the code.
- coffeebeqn 4y ago> If you connect it to Google Google search results are like 30% factual. The rest are SEO spam to sell something and people pushing their own opinion as a fact. It would need to know how to tell what is actually true or false.
