Why GPT-3 Matters
I really hope this tech will be miniaturized at some point.I hate to be that guy, but when I saw the article the other day that ended with "plot twist, this article was autogenerated with GPT-3!", I was not impressed, mainly because it looked like content farm's content to me, conveying no information. It basically looked like an incredibly costly spam tool.But then I thought of possible applications. Give humans a new tool, and they will amaze you, I'm sure we'll see cool applications of this tech in the future (and probably horrible ones too). One thing that I could think of where it would totally rock : games. If games were able to use such tech, their game world could be filled with casual discussions rather than the developers needing to fill everything. This means that NPCs in a game could have ever changing discussions, and even answer to the player about the subject they're discussing. Their discussion could even change based on what is happening in the world or what the players are doing, even to things with the smallest impact, or what is happening directly around them at the moment, without devs needing to script it all. That would be awesome.But yeah, this won't happen easily unless the model can be embedded and shipped on local computers.
