It's great, until people realize GPT-3 will generate answers that are demonstrably wrong. (And to make matters worse, can't show/link the source of the incorrect information!)
Do you think the results will be the same in 2030?
Have to see where the product is going, not where it is right now.

The point is that they get better and they don't need to be perfect.
Nobody's shown a way yet to teach a computer how to tell bullshit from facts and filter out the bullshit in it's regurgitation/hallucination text creation stuff. So until that happens, all you've done is let people put bullshit-spewing humans in more places. People already know not to necessarily trust humans, now they'll (re)learn that about computer generated text. (It's actually probably not clear to everyone what…
And yet they keep improving at every iteration. Also, keep in mind that this objection will exist even if these AI get near omniscience. People disagree with facts all the time, usually for political motives. Therefore your type of criticism won't ever be settled.
I work at Alphabet and I recently went to an internal tech talk about deploying large language models like this at Google. As a disclaimer I'll first note that this is not my area of expertise, I just attended the tech talk because it sounded interesting. Large language models like GPT are one of the biggest areas of active ML research at Google, and there's a ton of pretty obvious applications for how they can be us…

Wow, how wrong can you be? And by you I mean you, the commenter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

I mean it's not like it's dangerous on its own, but if you're like "Hey GPT how do I put out a grease fire?" and it replies "Pour water on it" and you believe it then you're in for a bad time. So I mean I guess you're technically right, it's not dangerous so long as you have 0% confidence in anything it says and consider it entertainment. But what would-be scrappy Google competitor is gonna do that? The thing that ma…

* If males produce sperm and females produce ova, does this mean infertile people are neither sex?
* What are intersex people?
* Since females only produce ova before they are born, do only female fetuses exist, and birthed people with ova are not female anymore?
* What are people who are androgen insensitive?
* If biological sex is defined this way, why do medical practitioners not test for the presence of sperm or ova at birth?

The problem for Google isn't just technical, it's organizational. The entire organization and all its products are built around ads. If a new product comes along that drastically reduces the number of pages a user views, what happens to the ad revenue? Right now, every click, every query is an impression. But if there's an all-knowing AI answering all my questions accurately, what incentive do I, as a user, have to s…
