Using GPT-3 to generate user interfaces

That's true, but who said that the goal is intelligence? This is clearly a demo from a startup that sells this kind of service [1]. All that's needed is something that can be made to work under certain business-dictated constraints. Nobody really needs these things to be actually smart.

Or, seen another way, it just has to be smarter than most peoples' web frameworks, or perhaps their IDEs, which is not a very high bar.

I can see GPT-3 being used in a tool/add-on ala Intellisense or Tabnine, but as something to create "a way for anyone to ship a functional web app just by describing what it should do in natural language" (quoted from his website) I'm positive that we have to wait for at least a GPT version that doesn't get confused after ~200-300 words.

I guess you could create some kind of UI prototyping app, but better options for that already exist, which don't require you to write everything out.
