The stages of playing with GPT-3:

- OMG this can do anything
- There goes my job
- I should start a business around this
- Some of the responses aren’t too good
- Actually, some of these responses are just awful
- This isn’t really intelligence
- This is just spicy autocomplete

@Gartenberg yep. It got so much stuff wrong the other day I had to correct it three times. But it was interesting asking it things I knew and seeing what responses it gave. Some were actually really useful saved me tons of typing. But anything really important was a bit useless. Also as an aggregator for finding bits of code to do a given task it's not bad at all. Like if I ask it to write an equation for the towers of Hanoi...

Console.WriteLine($"Move disk {n} from {source} to {target}");
Solve(n - 1, auxiliary, target, source);
