I might have missed the business plan behind monetising GPT3 here. Can you elaborate on why you think prompt programming will successfully take a cut from services?

Prompt-programming is a standard features of all LMs. What differentiates GPT3 is not this application but the quality of the output. NLP companies such as chatbot providers and specialised search (patents, legal assistants, tenders) have been using domain-specific LMs for years.

You both agree I think. He's not saying that GPT-3 invented the revolutionary ability of prompt programming, but that prompt programming allows GPT-3 to be applied to arbitrary contexts (from programming to providing legal advice to generating fiction). That amazing generality and high quality allow it to be applicable to most services.

So it's taking some slice of the $50tn pie.
