Re: GPT3 is close enough to be way too scary
I played with it for a bit, until I apparently went over my month’s ration. A few of my prompts yielded interesting output. Most, though, resembled what a high school student might produce trying to bullshit his way through an exam question for which he was unprepared, and you know—that’s cool (a piece on Slate, if you can burrow past the paywall, talks about this). We’re still a long way past ELIZA. crazy suggests that the technology is “scary.” To the extent that the tech will likely lend itself to abuse in the counterfeit realm, I agree. But for all that, as you know, my friends and auditors, I believe in the eventual emergence of true machine sentience, I suspect that GPT3 is merely a waystation on that route, and that this kind of “predictive” approach to language output might even prove a spur, a dead end. But it’s astonishing how far AI has come even within the lifetime of IWT. cordially,

If it resembles what HS student would produce, that's already passing Turing

So did Eliza (to many people, AIUI), so not all that impressive progress AFAICS?

Dammit, where's the upvote / thumbs-up / like / +1 button, again?
Now I had to go to the trouble of writing this fucking novel, and all...
Guess I'll just stick a thumbs-up emoji on the subject line next time, eh? ;^> --

Yeah, I know, thanks. I intentionally didn't do that, because...
...IIRC the other Scott -- i.e, the other other one -- doesn't like it.
Can't recall why, though. Screws up his text-mode browsing, or something? --

Not allowed here in the city. (Also, bagging and disposing of poop is mandatory.)
Of course some arseholes don't -- heh! -- give a shit about that. Two-legged ones, I mean.

Re: Not allowed here in the city.
All that is also mandatory here in Los Angeles County.
Some people attach the blue bag to the collar and make the dog carry it.

➡ In Windows you can do Windows+Period and get an emoji picker. 😁

It reads to me like those web aggregators...
You know, do a search for best widget and get dozens of pages of "ten best widgets for 2022" with snippets from reviews and a zillion Amazon links.
Similarly with news aggregators out of SE Asia.
I assume 90+% of it is just scraping with very little human editing, and it reads like it. And I assume that will be the largest use case for a while. They're getting better, but it's still a long way from sentient.
We'll see!
Cheers,
Scott.

I've always assumed those were generated by pay-per-word operations
Mostly outside the US cranking out 500-word articles for $2-$3 a pop. But yeah, "AI" makes just as much sense.
