I keep seeing all kinds of crazy reports about people's experiences with GPT-3, so I figured that I'd collect a thread of them.
Conversation
First, 's crazy collection of all kinds of prompts, with GPT-3 generating poetry, summarizing stories, rewriting things in different styles, and much much more. gwern.net/GPT-3

Automatic code generation from natural language descriptions. "Give me a page with a table showing the GDP of different nations, and a red button."

This is mind blowing.
With GPT-3, I built a layout generator where you just describe any layout you want, and it generates the JSX code for you.

Taking a brief technical tweet about GPT-3 and expanding it to an essay which the author of the original tweet mostly endorses.
Quote Tweet
I am completely floored. Someone run a thought of mine through GPT-3 to expand it into an explanation of what I had in mind, and it's like 95% meaningful and 90% correct. I don't think that I have seen a human explanation of my more complicated tweets approaching this accuracy :) twitter.com/jessems/status…

Also, using the architecture behind it to generate images.
Quote Tweet
OpenAI releases Image-GPT, a version of the same AI that you've probably seen generating writing. Only this time the same architecture (!!!) is trained on images instead. Given a partial image, it can generate multiple different ways of completing it. openai.com/blog/image-gpt/

Another example of automatically generated code, this time giving GPT-3 a bit of React code defining a component called "ThreeButtonComponent" or "HeaderComponent", and letting it write the rest.

Here's GPT-3 generating React components based on a _variable name_ alone, using the @OpenAI API.

From a brief description, GPT-3 correctly generates an explanation indicating that it's a case of asthma, mentions a drug that's used to treat asthma, the type of receptor the drug works on, and which multiple-choice quiz question this indicates.
Quote Tweet
So @OpenAI have given me early access to a tool which allows developers to use what is essentially the most powerful text generator ever. I thought I’d test it by asking a medical question. The bold text is the text generated by the AI. Incredible... (1/2)

Given a prompt with a few lines of dialogue, GPT-3 continues the story, incorporating details such as having a character make 1800s references after it was briefly mentioned that she's a nineteenth-century noblewoman.
Quote Tweet
If you can't tell, I'm very excited about @OpenAI's API. I've been playing with it for the last few months and it feels like I got a glimpse inside of a friendly alien spaceship.
Their beta is here: beta.openai.com

. noted that not *all* of GPT-3's answers are that great. Fair. IMO, being able to produce good answers even *with* human selection is amazing by itself, and often it requires relatively little, but yeah it's not a general intelligence yet.

So far I had only been sharing other people's experiences, which did occasionally make me wonder whether they're all real. Now I tried out GPT-3 myself, to generate some space opera. And whoa. Yeah I believe that they're real now.

GPT-3 performance on "write this like an attorney" is insane. It even includes relevant statutes if you mention a jurisdiction. This will put a lot of lawyers out of work.
Only the first 2 are prompts...

An earlier link pointed out that GPT-3 doesn't realize that nonsense questions are nonsense questions. But you can also just tell GPT-3 to treat nonsense as such.

Replying to @eigenrobot
it's all about the prelude before the conversation. You need to tell it what the AI is and is not capable. It's not trying to be right, it's trying to complete what it thinks the AI would do :)

Source is an anonymous image board poster so could be fake, but: if you give an AI Dungeon character fake wolf ears and then ask her to explain formal logic to you, she may use the ears in her example. (source: yuki.la/vg/299570235 )

Starting to see lots of "GPT-3 is overhyped and not that smart" articles now. Sure it's not actually intelligent, but the fact that a non-intelligent thing can do so many things is still significant and it will have lots of applications.
Quote Tweet
For me, the big story about #gpt3 is not that it is smart - it is dumb as a pile of rocks - but that piles of rocks can do many things we thought you needed to be smart for. Fake intelligence may be dominant over real intelligence in many domains.

GPT-3 as a general question-answering system. (If I were to use that, I'd make sure to check those sources it gives, but of course even an answer that you have to verify from the source is better than nothing.)
Quote Tweet
I made a fully functioning search engine on top of GPT3.
For any arbitrary query, it returns the exact answer AND the corresponding URL.
Look at the entire video. It's MIND BLOWINGLY good.

Integrating it to Google Sheets: fill in surrounding cells, GPT-3 figures out how to autocomplete the contents of the next one.

=GPT3()... the spreadsheet function to rule them all.
Impressed with how well it pattern matches from a few examples.
The same function looked up state populations, peoples' twitter usernames and employers, and did some math.

Following @keithfrankish's tongue-in-cheek suggestion, I prompted GPT-3 to write a short philosophy paper. The result puts its strengths & weaknesses on display. The mimicry of argumentation is uncanny, if very flawed, and often unintentionally funny.
