A comment on OpenAI's GPT-3 may be the biggest thing since Bitcoin.
- the technology is intrinsically interesting - there is a ton of hype - but it seems ultimately commercial viability of projects is questionable
Why do I say this?
Well, the "solution" here is instantaneous text generation.
even if it is 99% believable, that 1% error is probably a dealbreaker most use cases
example a: generating code
sure you can generate some simple react components, but snippets already do that.
for anything more complex / production ready, you still need to fine tune it manually
That said, I hope I'm wrong and some cool AND useful applications come out of this
In fact my initial reaction was pure hype but now I'm going the other way
