It's a hot take headline and the author says they don't even have time or energy to effectively write more than the headline, so here's an image of a GPT-3 conversation to read.

Fair point. But if that engagement results in more ethical and thoughtful applications of this tech, then is that a problem?

#6Oh, joy, another completely unoriginal contribution to the GPT-3 discourse adding absolutely nothing of value.
I particularly dislike the endorsement of Gary Marcus as an authority on ML/AI when he has only spread skepticism and FUD.

#7I'm getting pretty tired of these posts dunking on ChatGPT making it to HN. Yes, we know if you try to see if it is "smart", it'll fall down. It's pretty easy to show how silly it is compared to things a human could do, etc. Haha, robot do the mistake again!
This is the equivalent of someone Googling something back in 2000 and saying "wow this is just a joke because I searched for 'cat' and got a few dog pics. It'll never be useful".
I've had ChatGPT debug my router config, teach me esoteric C++ libraries with examples, set up config files for various things (e.g. CMake, Kubernetes) and be able to explain to me what it's doing when I ask it, and even help me learn a foreign language (hint: "I want to have a conversation in $LANGUAGE that I'm learning, so please respond to my queries using very simple words and phrases in $LANGUAGE", and yes, it'll do it).
Sure, you can have all kinds of "fun" asking it "are you a robot herp derp", but it does incredibly useful things right now.

#8Pepperidge farm remembers the same types of dismissals when Netscape first come about. "I already have a compuserve account", "It's just a bunch of geeks talking about Frank Zappa", "You can't DO anything with it".
It's hard to perceive clearly what you're looking at when a new thing comes along precisely because it's new. I think GPT3 fits that.
It's Netscape. A messy buggy rapidly evolving piece of software that's opening up new ideas faster than it itself is iterating.
Anyway, what else you gonna work on? Yet another lightweight typescript framework for making web apps? Heh.

#9people expect a NLP to be what? some people are disappointed that GPT isn't a strong AI. "GPT IS OLD NEWS"

#10GPT-3 is a system that can appear to be close to artificial general intelligence (AGI), but it's not. Under the surface, it's fundamentally different. Which is why I'm skeptical that it can incrementally evolve into AGI. But who knows, I'm really curious about GPT-4.
