Is it even AI?

Yes, unless you’re one of those people who considers anything less than human-level AI to not count.

What if it is not artificial and only human level ai in a sense that it's run by mechanical Turks which answer the prompts ?

The GPT-3 Playground is a powerful oracle. You can start a prompt like "XXXXXX is" and it will answer it for you.

There are also other models that are more open. NovelAI uses GPT-J IIRC.

There's no public model of the same size as the biggest GPT-3 yet, is there? I'd use GPT-3 to see what's possible, and then try to replicate the performance with the smaller public models. With the pace of AI development it's likely that GPT-3 will be matched by an open model in the not too distant future, but it's nice to be able to prototype with GPT-3 now to get a head start.

Gpt-J is of comparable quality, within 7-10% of the performance of gpt-3 in almost all metrics. It's also much smaller and less expensive to run. The higher quality training data and better tweaks to the algorithm paid off - the license, restrictions, and cost of gpt-3 aren't necessarily valuable enough to justify not using gpt-j.

Yeah, it’s pretty disappointing given their name. More like ClosedAI am I rite guyz

GPT-3 is just a tool. If a product that uses it messes up you can hardly blame it on the tool but rather on that product or the company developing it (here Nabla).

This is cool but I'm hesitant to invest any real amount of time building something on this. How do I know that if I build something massively successful they wont shut off my access and build a competitor?

Wondering how can one build something massively successful which has GPT as the core engine. Will be ridiculously easy for anyone else to copy, if its trained on similar data as the use case

Too bad there isn't an underlying symbolic model or otherwise something that could offer an explanation in logical terms.

Once AI starts actually reasoning that we'll suffer less when we're dead is when the paperclip maximizer-styled comedy begins.

Lots of talk in the comments about the restrictions on gpt3.

The reason is that gpt3 has a Jekyll and Hyde personality and can be extremely rude, offensive and unkind. They’re trying to control that because the evil side is very bad publicity for gpt3.

Shame about the terms of service, because I had a plan to set up a "romantic hotline" on a premium number which would combine GPT-3 text generation with the Chrome text-to-speech API.

Looks neat, but note that OpenAI is basically an App Store model - whatever you make with it cannot be shown to more than five people unless OpenAI has reviewed and explicitly approved your project. And their usage guidelines are pretty narrow - "open-ended chatbots" are explicitly disallowed, for example. > https://beta.openai.com/docs/going-live > https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-guidelines/use-case-guide...

In case anyone is wondering what the OpenAI review form looks like, I've attached a screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/YGyWuYk

Whoa! That's a long form! Thanks for sharing.

They're so "Open", that you're required to fill out 60 detailed questions of the precise usage of their API...

Maybe they're planning on making all the applications that are using the api Open public knowledge too! /s
