Since GPT-3 transforms sentences into high-dimensional vectors with connections between all the words and of course its internal weights trained on both the English language and all languages in general, I find that it has a basically flawless ability to interpret normal language.

I tested a prompt where the input was English and the output was Swedish, and it did a really good (but not always perfect) job at translating Swedish. I would assume the amount of Swedish in its training set is relatively tiny, so I find its ability to do that kind of translation in addition to all this other stuff really impressive. This also shows in its ability to translate really well between English and bash shell commands, or JSON data structures, or XML.

If this kind of thing interests you, look into the field of zero-shot learning.
