Frankly, not sure where to begin with this one. Some here have already pointed out how it can easily be trained to produce racist/biased data which is a big red flag to begin with. But am I the only one thinking about how this deep-learning, AI algorithm is going to render millions obsolete at the behest of capital? As has been the case with almost everything developed under capitalism , what a marvelous discovery that will in all likelihood be used for nothing but exploitation. And do I even have to mention how our leaders are geriatric and couldn’t regulate this shit to save their lives?

Unless this is somehow made open-source (and soon), we’re fucked.

    OpenAI doesn't release their models. GPT-3 also requires about 350GB of VRAM -- in order to actually run it, you would need about 5 A100 80GB workstation cards which will run you about $15k each. Good fucking luck with that lmao.

      That actually sounds cheap from a bean counter perspective. Under $100K for AI copy writer that never sleeps or needs insurance. Now I'm gonna have nightmares about this being used by law firms in :countdown:

        Yeah, but it's going to usually be cheaper for people to rent the service, since OpenAI can have their TPUs running close to full time instead of as-needed. If OpenAI isn't successful in making a marketable product that isn't just a toy then text generation models will be pretty much dead for anything but private tinkering since the smaller models suck ass by comparison.
