GPT-3 model discussion

Hi all! You might have heard of the GPT-3 NLP model, a pretty wild incremental step in artificial intelligence research. If not, check out the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165 and these tweets/links of people using it to write poetry, management essays, code, creative writing and a very profound sentence:

This all seems very relevant to what weā€™re learning during this program so I thought it could be fun to start a discussion with whoeverā€™s interested. Iā€™d love to dive into the algorithm with people here. Also if anyone has been playing with this already and would be willing to teach/share, please step forward thatā€™d be amazing!

I donā€™t think itā€™s publicly available yet, is it? I was just reading this interesting observation from an ā€œearly accessā€ user on twitter. Looks like you need to ā€œprimeā€ the model well in order to get good outputs.

I havenā€™t been keeping up with GPT, but would love to be involved in a discussion. Iā€™ll try to read the paper in the next day or so.

Saw that thread about priming the model, she got it to work! The few-shot extrapolation sounds insane.
Youā€™re right the API isnā€™t publicly available, but the paper is - that would be the matter of the discussion. Also asking if anyone has played with it, i.e. has access to the beta.

Iā€™ve been messing around a bit with AI Dungeonā€™s ā€˜dragon modelā€™ which implements some form of GPT-3. I think there are some modifications made to make it more ā€˜story-likeā€™, but I have been able to get some interesting results out of it. Thereā€™s more discussion of using AI Dungeon to mess around with GTP-3 here. My favorite result Iā€™ve gotten thus far is this completion of Dr. Seuss (prompt in bold).

Do you like green eggs and ham?

I donā€™t like them, Sam-i-am. I do not like green eggs and ham!

Would you like them here or there?

I would not like them here or there.

I would not like them anywhere.

I am a man of the world, Sam. You are a man of the world too; but you have chosen to be different from me. And that is why we quarrel.

Do you know what it means to live in a city where everything is new and strange every day? It makes one long for home, doesnā€™t it? But then one has no home except deathā€¦

Death is always with us, Sam.
