Social media is awash with people talking about a new piece of software called GPT-3, which is a language-generation tool capable of producing human-like text on demand. The software learned how to produce text by analyzing vast quantities on the internet and observing which letters and words tend to follow one another.
“It’s far more coherent than any AI language system I’ve ever tried,” wrote entrepreneur Arram Sabeti in a blog post after testing. “All you have to do is write a prompt and it’ll add text it thinks would plausibly follow. I’ve gotten it to write songs, stories, press releases, guitar tabs, interviews, essays, technical manuals. It’s hilarious and frightening. I feel like I’ve seen the future.”
