GPT-3 has to be the most-hyped<\/em> AI technology of the past year. Headlines said its predecessor, GPT-2, was “too dangerous<\/a>” to be released publicly. Then it was released. The world did not end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than a year later, the more advanced (next generation) GPT-3 was released by OpenAI<\/a>. Why are people so excited about GPT-3? See for yourself in the video below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GPT-3 is a natural language generation (NLG) system. Given instructions about what you want, it writes original text that \u2014 in most (but not all<\/a>) cases \u2014 sounds like a human wrote it. The technology could be used to rapidly write 10,000 fake user comments into a discussion forum, for example. Or 10,000 fake restaurant reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry about the first examples in the video showing GPT-3 writing computer code, if that’s not something you’re well acquainted with \u2014 it quickly moves on to show the system extracting text from long documents and writing summaries on the fly. The presenter does a good job of demonstrating the breadth and variety of tasks GPT-3 can be used for. You might be flat-out amazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
