Welcome to our robot overlords
The internet is swooning over OpenAI's new artificial intelligence API.It's called GPT-3, and it's a big deal.
GPT-3 is basically an autocomplete. But it doesn’t just finish your sentences— it writes entire paragraphs or essays for you. And it’s essentially omniscient.
Most of today's AI models focus on prediction. Give a model some text, and it'll classify it as spam or not spam. Give it an image, and it'll tell you what kind of object it is. This same prediction technology is used in self-driving cars: provide a LIDAR feed, destination, and a map, and an autonomous vehicle algorithm will decide whether to accelerate, brake, or turn.
GPT-3 is different because it creates.
GPT-3 is a text-generation API.You give it a topic, and it spits back a (hopefully) coherent passage.It learns over time, tracking not just what it thinks your topic is about, but how you talk about that topic . The results are surprisingly good.
In fact, we just generated the rest of that sentence with GPT-3:
The implications of the technology are huge.
Text generation is foundational to how we communicate online.And GPT-3 is really, really good at it.Here are some examples of how people are using GPT-3:
This person used GPT-3 to automatically generate a cover letter from a job description and a resume.
This person used GPT-3 to generate React components based on descriptions of a UI.
The implications are also scary. Combine GPT-3 and a great voice API, and suddenly we're not going to know whether we're talking to a robot or a human.Seed GPT-3 with propaganda and it'll generate infinite amounts of fake news, making it difficult to tell what's real or not.
OpenAI was founded to develop friendly AI in a way that benefits humanity as a whole.As they birth one of the most powerful artificial intelligences in existence, we hope they live up to their mission.
