Does GPT-3 need to understand the world to be useful? If you use it the right way, it still may be possible to accomplish some impressive things.

Yes, it's easy for anyone with a modicum of knowledge about scientific integrity. Wonder why OpenAI doesn't seem to get it.

Yeah, me too. I was really starting to be convinced of GPT-3's potential but this is a major red flag for me. Are they researchers or businessmen? This is the first time I've heard this. This kind of thing definitely needs more ne

I actually just sent out an API request for a particular application that I believe GPT-3 should be capable. I'm a university mathematics instructor. I find that a lot of students struggle with doing proofs and I think GPT-3 can help

I don't now about that. I believe if you had it calibrated correctly no one could tell the difference between a single GPT-3 comment and a human comment. Maybe after a bit of dialogue you'd have a higher chance, but even then I su

I think pattern matching can be interpreted as a form of reasoning. But it is distinct from logical reasoning. Where you draw implications from assumptions. GPT seems really bad at this kind of thing. It often outputs texts with inconsisten

Thank you for saying this. This is something so many people miss when trying test the limitations of GPT-2. It just doesn't make sense to test it on strings of text that nobody ever writes.

Why doesn't the fact that it responds with a number represent some level of understanding? It looks to me you are pointing out one thing that GPT-2 can't understand and declaring "It doesn't understand anything!" wh

I can't agree with you here. While GPT-2 isn't good at filling in particular details (like the language someone from Boston should speak) it is astonishingly good at recognizing the _kind_ of answer that should be produced. The fa

From what I understand about GPT-2 you shouldn't expect the story to make coherent sense. It can produce individual responses that are surprisingly appropriate but it doesn't actually have an understanding of anything that is happ
