Have asked this before, but GPT-3 users seem tight lipped about it. Let’s try you:<p>How did you get accesss to GPT-3?<p>I’m afraid that the way OpenAI is flicking aside applications for access from mere humans, and instead granting access to large corporate entities, tells us something about how AIs will deal with humans in the future.
Reminds of an episode of the programm (audio series). [1] They used GTP-3 to generate most of the answers the AI gives in that episode.<p>It is generally a fascinating series, set in a fictional future, where the program took control of the world. But it is less about that future, but more of a look back on today's world from fictional future.<p>[1] <a href="https://programaudioseries.com/14-more-parrot-than-predator/" rel="nofollow">https://programaudioseries.com/14-more-parrot-than-predator/</a>
When reading novels, I usually find myself skipping the portions that setup the atmosphere or looks of characters. I feel like a lot of it is forced. The latest book I read was Gideon the Ninth, and I found myself doing that quite a bit. I am more interested in the story and interaction between characters. Of course a bit of setting is indisposible such as where, when, rules of the universe, tech, etc. but a lot of the minute details I find don't matter.<p>If I were to write a novel, I would probably find it really mundane to flesh things out this way and perhaps GPT would be an ideal companion to fill in the details of the sketch while I focused on the main plot and interactions. Or maybe I would aim for readers who wouldn't mind reading a novel without all the fluff.
You can feel the gpt fluff in between the plot. It’s unbearable. Beginnings of good prose that ramble off into word associations and nonsense content that reads like real sentenses. The computer clearly has no idea of the plot.
Superfun. Two Dutch podcasters had an episode[1] made using GPT-3, based on previous episodes, as an experiment. After the usual introduction they read up the generated text. It soon becomes illogical and incoherent but it took me 10 mins to figure out something was wrong. In the final few minutes there's some outtakes of them cracking up as they have to read the nonsense. Dutch only.<p>[1] <a href="https://art19.com/shows/een-podcast-over-media/episodes/fe6d211e-6fc9-4472-96e6-f4cff7634942" rel="nofollow">https://art19.com/shows/een-podcast-over-media/episodes/fe6d...</a>
> Peter has adopted the code and molded it for years, Anakin to a digital C3PO. He'd grown attached to his creation. He loved Art more than anyone else alive.<p>True gold.

I still think the output is inferior to automatic paper generators from 2005.<p>This is literally just stringing words and putting random events together.
Can you please try to sell it on Amazon and tell us how that goes?<p>I wonder if you wrote a few seed pages per chapter on a contentious topic like ‘Why Bill Gates is funding the Coronavirus vaccine - and the answer is not good’ and released that book to a certain demo what your sales would be.
Do you think if you wrote it slower it would be a little less weird?<p>Eel is the weirdest thing to eat with strangers. Her biology was like a movie. These things are brilliant in a Delillo like way but the flow is too fast. Also making a butterfly thing?
