Nothing to do with Stable Diffusion then, no?

Given that Dall-E 2's pricing hasn't changed, probably not.
I'm really surprised they don't charge a very high price with a generous free tier, and then have an army of salespeople who will offer you whatever discount is necessary to make your business model work. If you want to use GPT-3 to build an AI-lawyer, it'll be very expensive... but to build a tool for customer support for walmart will be cheap, etc.
What are people actually using GPT-3 for?
because it is now too easy to generate-then-polish papers at that level.
They're too good in other words: better than baseline even. And when touched up by a student who's putting in a modest effort, are disruptively better.
What are people actually using GPT-3 for?
You basically just enter in the Airbnb URLs you're considering, and it'll use GPT-3 to scrape through the reviews in order to find anything negative or positive people are saying about the listings.
You can also ask any question you want at all, and it'll return answers (if people have mentioned it in their reviews). For example "Is the air conditioning loud?"
I would love to hear what others are using GPT-3 for!

Contrarily I wish people used 'Nx times' more often, especially for 10x in place of 'an order of magnitude'. It's more welcoming and less pretentious.
I'm not sure about using 10x in place of 'an order of magnitude'. An order of magnitude conveys an approximation, whereas 10x is precise.
An order of magnitude is an exponential change of plus or minus 1 in the
value of a quantity or unit. The term is generally used in conjunction with
power-of-10 scientific notation.
Order of magnitude is used to make the size of numbers and measurements of
things more intuitive and understandable. It is generally used to provide
approximate comparisons between two numbers. For example, if the
circumference of the Sun is compared with the circumference of the Earth,
the Sun's circumference would be described as many orders of magnitude
larger than the Earth's. [1]
An order of magnitude is an approximation of the logarithm of a value relative to some
contextually understood reference value, usually 10, interpreted as the base of the
logarithm and the representative of values of magnitude one. [2]

Is it just me, or are phrases like "3x cheaper" hard for other people to grok too? For some reason they always require me to pause and try to sort it out. Like, is the price being reduced by 66% or 75% or something else? What would "1x cheaper" mean?
I lack imagination. What is GPT-3 (and generative text models in general) useful for, other than toys? It can write essays, can we expect it to replace writers for newspapers and magazines? Can it write coherent technical documentation? Replace speechwriters? Edit: looks like the comment thread below is similar https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32554955
GPT-3 is useful for a lot of things. It can write essays, it can write technical documentation, it can write speeches, it can write fiction, it can write poetry, it can write jokes, it can write jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about j…
