Someday, the recruiters will also start using GPT-3, and all recruitment conversations will just be transmissions between different GPT-3 instances, creating a massive hive mind of GPT-3s that brings about the singularity.

What makes you think this isn't already happening?

Now have it automatically negotiate a salary range high enough for you to consider interviewing.

How long before it negotiates a cut for itself?

Make it do the interview loop for me and I’ll pay a few thousand for a license

Has anyone tried responding to phishing / scams with GPT-3? It seems like a much better use case, scammers are much more annoying and unethical. And you don't have to worry about GPT3 giving a weird response (which idk but the author doesn't seem to realize, machine learning even GPT is unreliable)

Write a programmer replacement bot with GPT-Codex.

Why can’t GPT-3 do it

You might have to worry about a sufficiently advanced GPT giving out your credit card information though!

It can, codex is better. I envision running a bot farm replacing 100s of negative impact programmers. This will be an improvement! Bonus point using gpt-3 to generate coherent standup slack messages.
