This changes everything. 🤯 With GPT-3, I built a Figma plugin to design for you. I call it “Designer” https://twitter.com/...

Here's a sentence describing what Google's home page should look and here's GPT-3 generating the code for it nearly perfectly. https://twitter.com/...

I just built a *functioning* React app by describing what I wanted to GPT-3. I'm still in awe. https://twitter.com/...

Hackers are fascinated by GPT-3. To everyone else it seems a toy. Pattern seem familiar to anyone?

I RT'd the GPT-3 tweet yesterday and this is a great read about running it through a Turing test: https://lacker.io/...
@rowlsmanthorpe Rowland Manthorpe on x
Good piece giving a Turing Test to GPT-3. Unlike most AI systems it has what we might call common sense, so to trick it you have to pose questions no human would ever ask https://lacker.io/... https://twitter.com/...

Prediction: LinkedIn will soon be full of GPT-3 job posts that require 10 years experience in GPT-3 https://twitter.com/...

Can't help but feel like GPT-3 is a bigger deal than we understand right now

Look at this and tell me my mom won't be able to build an app with zero programming experience in ~5 years https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

This is exactly how I would describe it. I know kids who struggle to “write” due to disphonia/disgraphia but if interviewed and transcribed they “write” very well. https://twitter.com/...

Hah. It is beginning. https://twitter.com/...

Don't stop reading this article, before the headline “Now for the fun part” | OpenAI's GPT-3 may be the biggest thing since bitcoin https://maraoz.com/...

🤯🤯🤯 Read this blogpost all the way to the end. I PROMISE you'll be amazed https://maraoz.com/...

Loved this blog post on testing GPT-3. Still very far from human intelligence in many ways, but opens up so many practical opportunities in applications. https://lacker.io/...

Ok. Here's my best guess: writing has been (in the age of the internet especially) a very reliable way to get ahead and differentiate yourself. That is about to go away. I haven't figured out the best response yet cc @patio11 https://maraoz.com/... https://twitter.com/...

If GPT-3 doesn't just replace all designers maybe it'll at least finally train product people to ask for what they actually want https://twitter.com/...

When you have OpenAI's gpt-3 honing answers like this, it makes you wonder what the knuckle heads at Apple are doing with Siri. https://lacker.io/...
@simongcolton Simon Colton on x
I wondered when someone would Turing-test #GPT3. These results are really interesting, showing amazing progress as a chat-bot, but severe (while predictable) limitations, many of which could be solved by hybrid approaches, using, you know, old-style #AI. https://lacker.io/...

One of the many great side-effects of the internet is making it impossible to express excitement without sounding like clickbait, but this is honestly the real thing https://twitter.com/...

It is surprising that you can get GPT-3 to generate well-formed HTML just by describing what you want... The generated output is admittedly simple, but it did so from “translating” the natural language prompt: https://twitter.com/...

I can easily see many jobs in the next 10-20 years changing their workflow to “human describes, AI builds, human debugs”. https://twitter.com/...
@gdb Greg Brockman on x
Very excited about the new kinds of tools and applications that people are building on OpenAI API. If you have something specific you'd like to build, tell me about it at gdb@openai.com. I may be able to accelerate an invite to you :). https://twitter.com/...

This article is pretty amazing. The fact that it takes this much trickery to reveal that GPT-3 is not a human is pretty impressive. https://twitter.com/...

1) Really does feel like this will be the delineation between “The Internet” and “The Age of AI” in the next version of Carlota Perez' work. GPT-3 as “10,000 PHDs that are willing to converse with you” and “a racecar for the mind.” Well said @zebulgar https://delian.substack.com/…

Here's an illustrative example - any 5yo would understand and answer this question correctly, but GPT-3 fails to do so. (h/t @nabeelqu) 3/N https://twitter.com/...

Wow just got access to GPT-3 and *my mind is blown*. Here are my thoughts on how everything is going to change: (1/257)
@edleonklinger Ed Leon Klinger on x
Today the world changed forever. Why? Because a group of Artificial Intelligence researchers released something called “GPT-3”. In short: it's a computer program that can interact like a ridiculously intelligent human. And it will blow your mind 👇

If you haven't already heard, the AI space recently experienced its biggest breakthrough in years with the release of @OpenAI's GPT-3 model. It's *completely* changed my perception on how far the current state of the technology has come. Here's what you should know (THREAD)👇
@ayushswrites Ayush Sharma on x
Tech Twitter is hyped about GPT-3 today! Let me add a counter-perspective. Here's my contrarian take on GPT-3 - it has little semantic understanding, it is nowhere close to AGI, and is basically a glorified $10M+ auto-complete software. 1/N

People are tweeting about GPT-3 today with the same level of intrigue as folks tweeted about blockchain back in 2013.

So much experimentation happening with #GPT3 right now. Love it. What's the coolest project you've seen so far?
