Have you read college freshman essays? While it's coherent in a sentence it is very rambling over paragraphs to pages.
yes I've read them, would those pass an English composition class in college? This comment generated by Gpt3
As someone who works on a Python library solely devoted to making AI text generation more accessible to the normal person ( https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen ) I think the headline is misleading. Although the article focuses on the release of GPT-Neo, even GPT-2 released in 2019 was good at generating text, it just spat out a lot of garbage requiring curation, which GPT-3/GPT-Neo still requires albeit with a bet…

Which if SciFi has taught me anything means we are all uploaded now and will live forever.
It'll be interesting to see how colleges and universities react to GPT-3. Students will surely use it to write entire assignments.
Even long before GPT-3 a friend of mine did his thesis with generated text, in an engineering university and received a B. This is 6 years ago. I have my own beefs with thesis' in general already, since 2 thirds of it seems to be filled with redundant text to prove that you went to university. I guess it's a little bit different, since back then he had to actually work to generate it and now it's a lot easier
People already believe garbage at a pretty alarming rate. It's easy to guess at a number of possible outcomes here: - More junk text moves the public to doubt legitimate information even further than they currently do. - There is so much human-generated junk text that adding more of it via AI actually doesn't have much of an effect. - People return to lean on experts, perhaps even more than before. (just as a number…
True. But a simple API to generate junk text? It can scale, cheaply, beyond measure. No need for a troll farm, hiring, managing and training tens or hundreds of people. A reasonable amount of cash, a bit of motivation, some moderate technical skills, and voilà! Anyone can compete with the Russian troll farms now and build their own networks of hundreds or hundreds of thousands sufficiently credible (as humans) fake a…

But even Russian/Chinese bots can step up as it is much easier now to flood forums (like reddit) etc, where e.g. a China critic article appears to kill any discussion.

The problem with this is that people look at anybody confirming their bias as an expert. I can't tell you how many FB posts I've seen where some armchair poster claims that a researcher is wrong because of xyz and it's being reposted thousands of times.

Ah yes, the only possible issue with releasing fully general AI is that it might say something offensive. Not because we don't have it at all, not because if we did we shouldn't just let it out like a lion in the gazelle pen to see what it does, because of those snowflakes!
Wrong, gpt4 is new and has not been implmented as a chat bot. Also wrong that previous chat bots were not shut down for being offensive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)
