Haven't tried this myself, but quite a striking strategy.

Yeah I sometimes use GPT-3 for that myself if I'm exploring an unfamiliar topic or academic field, "what are the most important concepts / terms / techniques in X?" If I prompt it well this usually gives me a decent vocabulary to both better understand and explore the space

I'd imagine, naively, that he's using that prompt directly in OpenAI's playground. Some hits, some misses, surprisingly solid performance. Not obviously better than Wikipedia, honestly… but interesting. Curious what's been especially good for you @azlenelza.

Right up there with the strategy of sending yourself questions about important life decisions, so as to let the auto-responder AI provide some guidance...

What are the most important ways to protect against the AI takeover? Tragic if it helps you too!

What worries me most about AI-content is the feeling of newness it creates I spent four hours one night reading stories written by GPT-3, not because they were good but because of the immediacy of having generated a book-length text of short stories within a matter of seconds!

Would be fun to link to Wikipedia (take gpt3 terms that have articles and sort them by popularity). Tbh if you use word frequency counts for Wiki articles I'm sure you could do a tool that doesn't use gpt3 at all (which articles are closest to a query term and are most popular).
