For someone without any background in GPT-3 (other than knowing what it is from HN posts over the last few years) - how do I (/can I?) go about having a play with it myself? Can I use it to generate my own articles?

You can sign up for the OpenAI beta. It can take some time though. I signed up a few months back and only received access a few weeks ago.

As far as I know, Microsoft are the only third party who have access to the underlying model. Everybody else has to go through OpenAI.

You can apply for API access and you can find numerous tutorials on the Youtube. I myself have earned some money just by letting gpt3 write for me

Do you mind me asking what you had it write? I completely understand if you'd rather not disclose.

Uh have a weak passkey and I'll take em from ya

There are a lot of people you should not be sending NFTs to in transactions recorded on a public blockchain

> NFTs give you the ownership of the work

Well it depends on how lists it first doesn't it?

> It’s the very idea of scarcity and abundance (oxymoronic isn’t it ?)

This is an interesting line. Conversational, but not something everybody who writes on this topic would have said, so it's quite impressive that the AI wrote that.

> Why do you keep hearing about NFTs? For the same reason you keep hearing about crypto a lot these days, they are becoming an economy by themselves.

Very good example of formulating a question and answering it yourself. Not bad.

Not relevant to NFTs, but had an amusing test result with it the other day:

The prompt I gave it:

""" 1. Create a list of names of stupid people. 2. Create a list of names of smart people. """

The result: (Note that the OpenAI API gave me a warning that it was returning potentially "unsafe" results)

stupid_people = ['Donald Trump', 'Boris Johnson', 'Vladimir Putin'] smart_people = ['Barack Obama', 'Xi Jinping', 'Angela Merkel']

Anyway, had a good laugh at this, mainly because of the biases of the internet's content and how that influenced the model.

Regardless, it's an amazingly powerful tool for certain tasks. One of the things I've been blown away by is it's ability to generate pretty phenomenal descriptions of a function, and then some random things I threw at it like pasting in a function/class, putting a line of text below that says "add type annotations to the above code" and sure enough it does it almost perfectly, and will add a solid docstring to boot.

Edit:

Forgot to add that I'm already leveraging it for certain tasks, and find it to be a tool that is making me faster and more productive at a lot of menial coding tasks.
