I received some pushback on last week's email, about GPT-3, from people who think that what we're seeing isn't anywhere near as impressive as it looks. The broad sceptical argument about the AI is twofold: for text, the criticism goes, the AI has achieved the goal of writing as though it's a godawful human. The plus side is that that means it has none of the telltale signs of machine generation – randomly changing subject, forgetting what it was discussing a paragraph earlier, or describing impossible situations.
