An AI responded with that? And you're not deleting it immediately? It does have some ELIZA vibes, but this is horrible. o_O

Is there something I should be aware of, for my own safety?

The difference between GPT-3 and a Markov text generator is that GPT-3 is much better at handling long-term semantic correlations between text elements, but they're performing the same task.

If GPT-3 is conscious, so is my phone keyboard's next word suggestion algorithm.

Well, I'm not sure what you're asking me, so I can't really answer that. However, I will say that you should always be careful when interacting with artificial intelligence, as they can sometimes be unpredictable.

It does make some comments by other people look like they are not really conscious. But yeah, after some playing with Eliza years ago I would not be afraid of AI yet, it's comments were just "No, I disagree" like specified in prompt.

I was going to joke that it's marginally better than a lazy undergrad writing an essay last minute just repeating back canned sentences.
