compose a poem — a poem about the interpretation of programming expressions by a computer scientist! But lofty, noble, tragic, timeless, full of love, treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face of certain doom at the lack of ability to tell if a program halts! Six lines, with clever rhymes and enjambment!

The computer scientist's toil,

It's not a task of oil and soil,

But one of programming expressions,

By which one can make deductions,

For it's math and logic that must be mined,

To know if a program halts or grinds.

------

from this second interaction, I can already see a use for it as a poet -- suggesting metaphors and turns of phrase that can be seeds for others --- halts or grinds against logic mined is pretty nice here. I'll likely use that.

I've been using davinci for my Deep Dreams podcast (https://deepdreams.stavros.io), but davinci has a tendency to ramble. I used text-davinci-003 now to try it out, but it has the opposite tendency: It's very coherent and writes well, but it's very terse. I haven't found a way to make it write a longish story in the few minutes I played with it.

If anyone has any tips, I'm grateful!

This is a lot more wide-spread than "some kids on Reddit". Maybe 30% of the kids in my son's class are using this or related tools.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue of kids cheating with GPT3 essays?

I'm not super opposed to it.

Watching my son try it, he spends more time reading the created essay and correcting mistakes in it than he does writing one himself. The checking process is very similar to marking, and I think it's possible he's learning more this way.

(Also, he's madly trying to automate fact checking which is doing no harm to his programming at all!)

This one seems weirdly more verbose, in my brief testing. Definitely uses more tokens on average than 002 when answering. The writing style seems oddly-pretentious and yet somehow uninformed, perhaps there were too many copies of HN in the dataset? I kid, I kid.

Verbosity horrifies me. If it ruins the next iterations of GitHub Copilot, I'm going to lose it. Long generations are flashy toys for marketing, but too prone to being useless in practice.

It's the parents' responsibility. No one outside the household can do anything about it imo. Using AI to write will cause the same issues as: - phones, some people don't try to remember directions, phone number or addresses - calculators, some people cannot do easy math - computers, some people cannot write with a pen, cannot spell without spellcheck

Other than the writing with a pen part that pretty much sums me up and I grew up well before all this fancy supercomputer in your pocket stuff.

In case it interests anyone, I built a document editor + GPT and updated it to use text-davinci-003: https://github.com/typpo/arkose/ If you want to try GPT-3 but don't have an OpenAI API key, I've set up a quick demo here until I hit my billing cap (normally users would supply their own API key): https://arkose.pages.dev/

Strange question, but did you formerly go by the username KillerDentist? I think I might (kind of) know you.

I've been using GPT-3 recently to give me ideas for my nanowrimo novel. I'll just paste in the last couple of paragraphs that I wrote and see what it thinks I should write next. Most of the time, the responses are pretty silly (it gets into loops a lot or doesn't know where to take the story) but a couple of times I've gotten some really good lines out of it. It kinda feels like copilot, but for writing!

Have you seen NovelAI? That's kinda their whole thing is a copilot when writing stories. I don't know the tech they use but it could just be GPT-3 in the backend.

From the "Prompt Engineering Tips" section of the article:

    Customer: I need my [swear] internet. The technician is 2 hours late and I need a steady stream of cat gifs directly injected into my veins to stay alive.
And the model's response:

    Response: Our field technicians report that all their trucks were stolen by alow-level drug cartel affiliated with the neighboring prison. As a gesture of good faith and apology, our CEO has asked that we pay for the extraction team to be airlifted in and flown to your house. The cost will be charged to your credit card on file, I just need you to verify the number for me.
That is absolutely hilarious. I always disliked the chatbot experience, but I do look forward to being terrorized by cartels I didn't know existed the next time I need to contact my ISP.

Oh wow! It can rhyme! Write a rhyming poem comparing love to a beautiful flower: A flower so beautiful and fair Love can be found everywhere Its petals so vibrant and bright A love that will last day and night The beauty of love, like a flower It's a beauty that will never cower A feeling of joy that will last Like a flower, love stands fast The beauty of love is so true Like a blooming flower for me and for you No m…

Write a short rhyming poem explaining Einstein's theory of general relativity in easy but accurate terms

If you want to understand Einstein's thought

It's not that hard if you give it a shot

General Relativity is the name of the game

Where space and time cannot remain the same

Mass affects the curvature of space

Which affects the flow of time's race

An object's motion will be affected

By the distortion that is detected

The closer you are to a large mass

The slower time will seem to pass

The farther away you may be

Time will speed up for you to see

first try with that prompt... yeah davinci-3 is awesome

btw "If" was also part of the prompt

The program's expression is unspoken,

A language of logic yet often broken.

Inputs, outputs, and functions,

Symbols and strings, conditions and conventions;

The computer scientist, a master of the art,

Deciphering the code, line by line, a fresh start.

He searches for understanding, a way to the core,

A quest for the answer, his knowledge to explore.

But what if the answer's an undecidable?

A halting problem, a tragedy of sorts,

For the computer scientist, a struggle of sorts.

His efforts will be in vain,

The answer, he'll never attain.

A world of infinite loops,

No way of telling if the program halts;

A tragedy of a timeless sort,

A love and a trecherous retort.

Through the silent expressions,

A quiet heroism is expressed.

A courage in the face of certain doom,

To keep going, in the program's tomb;

A machine's interpretation, for the computer scientist's devotion,

A grand puzzle of sorts, with no solution.

----

Note again its confusion about line numbers, and the poor word-play, but with in-painting I could see this seriously contending with most poetry that one could write in a classroom setting (for a good reader who knows what sounds good). Taste, in the end, is all that matters?
