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 As an attorney I can say: most if not all answers in German (!) to legal questions are utterly BS. It cites non existent rulings. Though it cites with confidence. Maybe I should worry 😆

@Giessler @Gartenberg It's the inability to say "I DON'T KNOW" that galls me (as it did, when I was 3 or 4 years old). The sheer lack of humility is … programmed in? It can't be just a side-effect, it's so pervasive.

As someone said to me yesterday, "Did they import all of Reddit?" YES, yes they did that.
