I use GPT-2/3 in creative writing to generate rough text that I then go back and edit/improve because it gives a good starting point (and often has a lot of high-quality factors).

I don't know if this translates to technical writing, but it's possible someone might complete a prompt on some specific topic(s) and then use that as a point to start from, especially if they're knowledgeable enough on the topic to correct the output. It's nice to be able to skip a lot of boilerplate words (how many words in this comment are actually the meat of this idea, and how many words are just there to tie all those morsels together?)

What platform do you use ? Is it all run from home ?

I built my own editor on top of the API, which I ran at home, yeah. You can see the code and/or run it yourself at https://github.com/indentlabs/gpt-3-writer, but it's very rough and not really ready for public use. Just make sure your OpenAI secret key is set in ENV['OPENAI_SK'] and you should be able to run it yourself.

I also built a more polished version to add to the Notebook.ai document editor (so writers can get some continuation prompts whenever they get a bit of writer's block), but the pricing made it unfeasible to actually release. Notebook.ai is also open source though, and you can see the GPT-3 functionality in the unmerged PR here: https://github.com/indentlabs/notebook/pull/739
