This post and messages freak me out because I’m getting confused what the input and output is.

Please everyone, can you make sure your posts are edited in a way to avoid any confusions.

My “opinion” is that this is not as impressive as most people think it is once you understand the (really) huge amounts of text the system ingests for the algorithms to extract the output. There is no magic.

Oh god you're right - it gives grammatically fine nonsense Czech too. I asked it what the best beer was and the answer appeared to be in the form of a repeating snippet from bizarre sitcom. See below, I added the translation [in square brackets] in post: Q: Které pivo je nejlepší? [which beer is the best?] A: Představte si, že jste vystřelili koule. [imagine that you shot balls] Koule je nejlepší pivo. [balls is the…

In Spanish it switched to Portuguese mid generation. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened with Czech and Slovak as well. Q: ¿Cómo se hace una tortilla de patatas? A: Y cómo se puede conseguirla de una forma rápida y bien? Para nosotros, es algo muy muy familiar. Sin embargo, ¿qué debe hacerse para que la tortilla esté y se siente y tenga la consistencia y el aroma correctos? Portuguese: Eu acho que isso é muito imp…

I love that it includes the “Portuguese” bit :-)

Some of his works are already in collections, museums, galleries and libraries in France and abroad.

  The main focus of his works is a reflection on our society. To create his works he uses a variety of different media and techniques.
I'm surprised it doesn't mention ffmpeg or qemu :)

Yep, as always, trained AI models can only be as good as the training data.

Interesting the Fairseq GPT 13B pricing is cheaper than GPT-3 curie model (which is 6.7B). For comparison: Fairseq GPT 13B (1k tokens) = $0.00189 GPT-3 Curie 6.7B (1k tokens) = $0.0060

This leads to the more interesting side that he's built a custom inference setup to run more efficiently.

And that problem was foreseen by members of British Parlament two centuries ago [1]:

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
