I liked this one. I still find GPT-3 to be impressively intelligent.

I agree. I only just discovered OpenAI. I am absolutely amazed that this is possible.

What else can you recommend trying out?

I've tried to stump GPT-3 by asking it questions it wouldn't have seen before anywhere in the text it was trained on (the internet and more). My impression is that it has managed to synthesize information, so that it can reach conclusions it hasn't seen before.

So for example, I set up a chatbot conversation and asked it what I should do if there were a great white shark in my basement. It said I should get out of the basement. I asked if it was safe to be upstairs with a great white shark in the basement, and it said yes. I asked why, and it said because sharks can't climb stairs.

It's safe to say that no one has ever asked these questions before, and GPT-3 gave reasonable answers. (Would I really need to leave the basement if there were a great white shark in it? Maybe, maybe not, but it's not a bad answer. I wouldn't want to be close to one, even if it were on the ground) It seems as if GPT-3 essentially has a model of the world, or at least the world as seen through text, and can handle situations that exist nowhere within its training data.

So, I recommend you try asking it questions no one has ever asked anyone before, and see how it does.

Unfortunately I just ran out of trial credits. :(

I made it respond to two different posts on r/relationships before I ran out. I had to generate answers a few times, before I was happy with the result - but the answers are pretty thoughtful, and actually make sense.

I mean ... Holy fuck. This thing does relationship counseling too. And people are upvoting it, saying it's creating thoughtful responses.

Can you imagine what online interactions will look like in 10 years? I've been following technology for 30 years, and have occasionally dabbled with chatbots, and so-called AI's before, but the progress has always felt very slow and linear. What has been happening these past few years is an exponential explosion. It's fucking mad.

One of the funniest things I've done was build a "Video Game Concept Generator" with few shot learning. Provided 4 examples of a title, genre, description and a Metacritic score. 3 real examples and a fake one. The input would be a video game title the generated results sound like they could be actual video games. The genre tags matched surprisingly well with the description.

Where can I find this in OpenAI?

Just type it into the sandbox playground.

Human: what is the square root of 11?

AI: The square root of 11 is 3.

That's a reasonable approximation.

You fall into the toilet and take damage.
