OpenAI's GPT-3 may be the biggest thing since Bitcoin
I am deeply enjoying this comment thread - it&#x27;s a bit of a Barium Meal [0] for determining how many people read (a) the headline, (b) the first paragraph, or (c) the whole thing before jumping straight into the compose box.<p>Having read to the bottom, the quality of text generation there absolutely blew me away. GPT-2 texts have a somewhat disconnected quality - &quot;it only makes sense if you&#x27;re not really paying attention&quot; - that this article lacks entirely. Adjacent sentences and even paragraphs are plausible neighbours. Even on re-reading more closely, it doesn&#x27;t feel like the world&#x27;s best writing, but I don&#x27;t notice major loss of coherence until the last couple of paragraphs. I am now <i>really</i> curious about the other 9 attempts that were thrown away. Are they always this good?!<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Canary_trap#Barium_meal_test" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Canary_trap#Barium_meal_test</a>
