GPT-3 APIs are now in public beta
- vorpalhex 5y agoSeveral clones of GPT-3 exist, a few successors that may be a bit better, and even a few leaks of gpt-3 itself.
- gcoda 5y agoI know about gpt-j, can you name worthy clones/alternatives?
- Ygg2 5y agoCan you list any of them?

- arcastroe 5y agoLots of good OpenAI news lately. In case you missed it in previous threads, feel free to play around with some short stories: [1] https://toldby.ai https://toldby.ai The API is a bit expensive, but even a $100 monthly budget has been sufficient to run the site above. I'm still on the lookout for cheaper alternatives though
- rasengan 5y agoThe GPT-3 Playground is a powerful oracle. You can start a prompt like "XXXXXX is" and it will answer it for you.
- starklevnertz 5y agoLots of talk in the comments about the restrictions on gpt3. The reason is that gpt3 has a Jekyll and Hyde personality and can be extremely rude, offensive and unkind. They’re trying to control that because the evil side is very bad publicity for gpt3.
- kreeben 5y agoI recall OpenAI openly stating that they don't trust us to do non-nefarious things with their APIs and that's why they've been restricted. You're saying it's because their AI is an asshole?
- starklevnertz 5y agoCan be an asshole sometimes. Quite a lot actually. If you ask it to respond in a conversation about …. well pretty much any nasty topic you can think of, it’ll join in whole heartedly. Hard to think of how prevent that. I bet they’ve thought alot about the problem. How do you prevent AI being an A grade jerk.
- peterlk 5y agoThis is why we've built security policies at Mantium. You can run the input and output through an offensive speech detector, and halt replies the prompt if "badness" is detected. This is, of course, an imperfect system because philosophies around what is offensive can be very diverse, but we find that security policies are helpful.
- kreeben 5y agoMaybe their mama didn't raise it right? They should raise it on information from good people. Now, how to find those "good people comments"?
- tiborsaas 5y ago> How do you prevent AI being an A grade jerk. Invent synthetic consciousness and ask it to be nice, easy :) I'm only half joking, we probably all have thoughts ranging from bad to horrible, but we just don't say them because we are aware of the consequences. Language models aren't aware so they'll spit out the most likely combination of words. If there would be a process to limit these or try again, it could act as a filter, but I think that requires it to be self aware.
- globalise83 5y agoShame about the terms of service, because I had a plan to set up a "romantic hotline" on a premium number which would combine GPT-3 text generation with the Chrome text-to-speech API.
- Traubenfuchs 5y agoWhat the hell is their problem? Why not sell it in an mostly uncontrolled fashion to maximize revenue, marketshare, fame, economy of scale, etc.? I am offended by the idea of people being scared of text produced by AI, text that is ultimately inferior to text produced by professional humans.
- favourable 5y ago> text that is ultimately inferior to text produced by professional humans Well that depends on whether you train GPT-3 on text written by known professionals doesn't it? Obviously if you train it on hate speech, it will spit out really soul crushing stuff. You have to bake in healthy discourse to it for it to really shine.
- someguydave 5y agoBecause gpt3 is likely to make statements which imply that people of different races and sexes act differently. Some people define those kinds of statements as “harmful”
- jonplackett 5y ago> Could not find record of successful phone verification. [Return to home page] Anyone else just getting this message when they try and sign up? (I did verify my phone number and there seems to be no way to do anything else now)
- jonplackett 5y agomy name is Boris Johnson prime minister of the UK. There is an ongoing pandemic lasting the previous 2 years which has so far has killed millions of people. Q: did you have a Christmas party last year. A: yes I did. Seems accurate
- cptcobalt 5y agoThere's lots of comments about other GPT variants here (GPT Neo, GPT-J, Huggingface, etc), but a big part of the GPT-3 allure for me as a tinkerer is an easy access to an API that I can pay for (since, with all my experiments over a few months, I've spent about $30, which is totally within bounds of fun experimentation) Are there actually any public APIs available for models I don't need to run locally on my machine, that perhaps are slightly more permissive than the openai usage guidelines? (FWIW, I mostly use curie, so I'd be happy with a ~10B model)
- friedman23 5y agoThis is cool but I'm hesitant to invest any real amount of time building something on this. How do I know that if I build something massively successful they wont shut off my access and build a competitor?
- arcastroe 5y agoif you build something massively successful (with recurring revenue), you should be able to switch to one of the similar open-source models and even host it yourself. GPT-Neo and GPT-J may not be as large as GPT-3, but I think GPT-Jurassic rivals it (I'm not sure if the jurassic model is released to the public, maybe someone else with more knowledge can comment)
- jmnicolas 5y ago> similar open-source models and even host it yourself. Do you have any idea what kind of hardware resources (cores, ram and disk) are necessary for that?

- mellosouls 5y agoConsidering OpenAI's notorious history of apparently pivoting 180 to Closed (see HN references ad nauseum), you might be wise to be hesitant. This is perhaps an organisation with more fame than trust.
- diogenesjunior 5y ago>OpenAI's notorious history of apparently pivoting 180 to Closed would you mind providing discussion on HN about this?
- mellosouls 5y agoYou mean references to previous comments? Here's one search result: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=%22closedai%22&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
- fenomas 5y agoLooks neat, but note that OpenAI is basically an App Store model - whatever you make with it cannot be shown to more than five people unless OpenAI has reviewed and explicitly approved your project. And their usage guidelines are pretty narrow - "open-ended chatbots" are explicitly disallowed, for example. > https://beta.openai.com/docs/going-live https://beta.openai.com/docs/going-live > https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-guidelines/use-case-guidelines https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-guidelines/use-case-guide...
- TulliusCicero 5y agoYeah, it’s pretty disappointing given their name. More like ClosedAI am I rite guyz
- manojlds 5y agoIs it even AI?
- stavros 5y agoWell, it nearly passes the Turing test in my subjective evaluations, so make of that what you will.
- TulliusCicero 5y agoYes, unless you’re one of those people who considers anything less than human-level AI to not count.
- samzer 5y agoHas anyone here, made anything with the public beta api?
- favourable 5y agoAnyone know something similar to GPT but isn't really 'AI' but more a blackbox algorithm that you don't have to train, and can spit out blogposts given a few bits of initial input? For example, let's say I wanted to generate an article about 'why the sky is blue'. Couldn't I just say to the program: 'Yes, use Wikipedia as reference material', 'Include 3-4 images with captions too', etc I imagine such a tool is in use, it's just not possible to know what bloggers use it, since such a tool could be abused to create blogspam on a scale never seen before. In other words: with great power comes great responsibility.
- msapaydin 5y agoI think Salesforce has such a model. It is called CTRL. Have never tried using it though. It accepts metadata to generate text conditionally on that metadata such as domain of text.
- TruthWillHurt 5y agoWelcome to the end of the internet as we know it, where affiliate marketers and ad sites generate content to flood search engines with results, rendering it near impossible to find quality content.
- schleck8 5y agoSadly you are probably right. Hidden affiliate marketers are the parasites of search results and of the internet in general
- mark_l_watson 5y agoI have had access to GPT-3 for a long while now, and I love it. I updated my Common Lisp and Clojure books with client examples (you can get free copies at https://leanpub.com/u/markwatson https://leanpub.com/u/markwatson by sliding the price scale to “free”). The code generation is sometimes very impressive, it does a great job at abstractive summarization, I have been having fun by letting it help me write a sci-fi story, etc. Definitely check it out. I have been working with neural networks since the 1980s (DARPA NN Tools advisory panel for a year, commercial applications) and it pleases me greatly to see that deep learning models being part of my engineering stack. I wrote a macOS app for the App Store that uses two DL models, and it is difficult to imagine any company functioning without ML.
- fguerraz 5y agoIs it just me or is the example they take for summarization actually bad? "Allison is excited to meet with New Horizon Manufacturing to discuss their photovoltaic window system." should be "Allison is excited to meet with New Horizon Manufacturing to discuss OUR photovoltaic window system."
