It’s already here and called prompt engineering. See Gwern’s extensive explorations of this [1]. I’ve been building a product on GPT-3 [2] using extensive prompt engineering. It’s a bit like programming, a bit like writing. It’s kind of lik

Shelly Kagan wrote a great introduction to the philosophy of death [1]. It directly addresses many of the OP's arguments, and, it persuaded me that it's not a black and white issue (ie. immortality = ultimate good) [1] https:&#x2

Ted Chiang has a wonderful story called "The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling" which delves into this phenomenon, as well as how written language shapes our memories.

A few restaurants on caviar offered a $10 or $20 item on their menu that goes directly to their workers, which I thought was nice. Would be cool to see that productized.

I was thinking that this would be comparable to big movie flops. But no, even if you combine the 10 worst flops in history, it's just shy of 1.2B.

Gwern has a huge rundown: https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3 And I like what Arram has been producing: https://arr.am/2020/07/14/elon-musk-by-dr-seuss-gpt-3/

You should come into it having a premise for the story laid out. GPT-3 is great at suggesting possibilities at the paragraph level, but beyond that, it'll lose the thread. The simplest thing is to go to it when you get stuck. You sort

GPT-3 right now has a short prompt window (~1300 words). OpenAI is working on fine tuning, which would allow you to prime it with much larger text, so yes, this could be possible in the future.

I gave it a summary of the story up to that point, as well as the passage verbatim, then something like: “This is a conversation between the author and the superintelligent AI in the story. The AI is [description based on context]:“

Yes, I typically (but not always) included a high level summary of the story in the prompt. And sometimes, when I knew what kind of story turn I wanted (ominous, funny, extraordinary) I would prompt it with something like “and then somethin

Sourcing is definitely an issue. With GPT-3 there is no "source," as it is still essentially a bag of word vectors. I've also seen it take existing quotes and misattribute them to the wrong (but similar) person.

You wouldn't--you'd have to take my word for it :) The colorful passages were mostly untouched, but I did have to lightly edit the chats with GPT-3 for clarity and coherence.

Yeah, GPT-3 contains essentially all the historical internet up to October 2019 and many books, you can easily trigger it to enter a "known" world. But what's more interesting to me as a fiction writer is to be able to prime

Agreed that GPT-3 is a tool, and it isn't going to write entire stories for you, at least, not good ones. But it can be a valuable part of a writer's toolkit, similar to Google or other forms of research. The comparison to Photosh

Author of the stories here! Happy to answer questions about the process. I'm a big believer that tech like GPT-3 can provocate creative writers similar to tools like oblique strategies and story dice. But it can also go further like wh

Hey there, Sudowrite founder here. We're building on GPT-3, and the OpenAI is still early, so we aren't allowed to give public access just yet. So yes, these are static snippets for now. But the quality is on par with average resu
