Show HN: GPTed – use GPT-3 for semantic prose-checking

1 pointsby vgelover 2 years ago
Hi HN!<p>I threw together a little prototype that uses GPT-3&#x27;s logprob output to flag unlikely tokens, so they can be double-checked by a human proofreader. It&#x27;s sort of a turbo-spellchecker: in addition to catching &quot;They had <i>fuor</i> eggs&quot;, it can also catch &quot;They had <i>for</i> eggs&quot;, &quot;He asked me to <i>prostate</i> myself to the king&quot;, and even the somewhat subtle bug in this C code:<p><pre><code> for (int y = 0; y &lt; HEIGHT; y++) { for (int x = 0; x &lt; WIDTH; x++) { buf[y * HEIGHT + x] = 0; } } </code></pre> I wrote a blog post going into more detail here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vgel.me&#x2F;posts&#x2F;gpted-launch&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vgel.me&#x2F;posts&#x2F;gpted-launch&#x2F;</a> .<p>Hope you like it, and curious to hear people&#x27;s thoughts, feedback, or questions! :-)
