Google's LaMDA vs. GPT-3

Can Google's new laMDA compete with GPT-3 by OpenAI?

Google has showed off today its next generation NLP AI by talking to Pluto and a Paper Airplane. We had similar conversations with GPT-3 too, e.g. about Universe and God.

But I think we should consider these technologies in a broader context; like Extended Reality and Gaming industry both via AR/VR. I guess in near future we are able e.g. to travel via our headsets/glasses and make random conversion with random human-like 3D models without any problem.

Apple will also introduce it's Spatial Audio. It means soon we can fully experience a extended digital layer on top of our physical world. It would be both crazy and amazing at the same time.

Love to hear your opinions too, thanks.

Those are two different things. GPT-3 is a lang model. so it can generate sentences which looks like real human.

laMDA was trained on dialogs, so it can converse. I.e. it more attune to conversation which has a different structure than just question-answering or text generation.

Could you please elaborate more on how these two are different?
