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 the time to start worrying is when the chat bot goes and sets up fake web sites with fake literature to reference so that any cursory investigation of citations will find sensible-enough-sounding papers, and then you have to go and actually background all the references to find that they were all created within five minutes of you asking your question.

@manicdee shhhh, don't give it any ideas. This is going to be a great tool for the upcoming election where previously illiterate nuts can now sound rational when they post.
