OpenAI’s GPT-3 is the world’s most sophisticated natural language technology. It’s the latest and greatest text-generating neural network. And it has the Twittersphere abuzz. I want to speak about the implications of the latest hype. But first, a short description of the beast itself. While the vast majority of AI systems are designed for one use-case and tightly trained for that, GPT-3 is the latest in a lineage of natural language processing technologies know as Transformers that are far more generalizable.
