I keep seeing all kinds of crazy reports about people's experiences with GPT-3, so I figured that I'd collect a thread of them.
First, @gwern 's crazy collection of all kinds of prompts, with GPT-3 generating poetry, summarizing stories, rewriting things in different styles, and much much more. http://gwern.net/GPT-3
Automatic code generation from natural language descriptions. "Give me a page with a table showing the GDP of different nations, and a red button." https://twitter.com/sharifshameem/status/1282676454690451457
Taking a brief technical tweet about GPT-3 and expanding it to an essay which the author of the original tweet mostly endorses. https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1283211048145711104

On the side of "it does still have weaknesses too", figuring out how to trick it at the Turing Test. http://lacker.io/ai/2020/07/06/giving-gpt-3-a-turing-test.html
Also, using the architecture behind it to generate images. https://twitter.com/xuenay/status/1273898995706998790
Redditor shares an "AI Dungeon" game played with the new GPT-3 -based "dragon model", involving a cohesive story generated in response to their actions, with only a little manual editing. https://www.reddit.com/r/AIDungeon/comments/hpkqij/using_the_dragon_module_i_just_generated_what_is/
The official announcement of the Dragon Model and examples. "The game invents a complex magic system and underlying theory behind why it works and describes the whole system as I read the book." https://medium.com/@aidungeon/ai-dungeon-dragon-model-upgrade-7e8ea579abfe
Another example of automatically generated code, this time giving GPT-3 a bit of React code defining a component called "ThreeButtonComponent" or "HeaderComponent", and letting it write the rest. https://twitter.com/hturan/status/1282261783147958272
From a brief description, GPT-3 correctly generates an explanation indicating that it's a case of asthma, mentions a drug that's used to treat asthma, the type of receptor the drug works on, and which multiple-choice quiz question this indicates. https://twitter.com/QasimMunye/status/1278750809094750211
GPT-3 tries to get a software job. https://twitter.com/lacker/status/1279136788326432771
Translating natural language descriptions into shell commands, and vice versa. https://twitter.com/harlandduman/status/1282132804034150400
Given a prompt with a few lines of dialogue, GPT-3 continues the story, incorporating details such as having a character make 1800s references after it was briefly mentioned that she's a nineteenth-century noblewoman. https://twitter.com/AndrewMayne/status/1271112770293862402
. @bioothod noted that not *all* of GPT-3's answers are that great. Fair. IMO, being able to produce good answers even *with* human selection is amazing by itself, and often it requires relatively little, but yeah it's not a general intelligence yet. https://aiweirdness.com/post/621186154843324416/all-your-questions-answered
So far I had only been sharing other people's experiences, which did occasionally make me wonder whether they're all real. Now I tried out GPT-3 myself, to generate some space opera. And whoa. Yeah I believe that they're real now. https://kajsotala.fi/2020/07/gpt-3-space-opera/
An earlier link pointed out that GPT-3 doesn't realize that nonsense questions are nonsense questions. But you can also just tell GPT-3 to treat nonsense as such. https://twitter.com/nicklovescode/status/1284050958977130497

Source is an anonymous image board poster so could be fake, but: if you give an AI Dungeon character fake wolf ears and then ask her to explain formal logic to you, she may use the ears in her example. (source: https://yuki.la/vg/299570235 )
Even after seeing all the other results, I honestly have difficulties believing that this one is real. https://twitter.com/kleptid/status/1284098635689611264
Starting to see lots of "GPT-3 is overhyped and not that smart" articles now. Sure it's not actually intelligent, but the fact that a non-intelligent thing can do so many things is still significant and it will have lots of applications. https://twitter.com/anderssandberg/status/1285104499531698176
Writer gives GPT-3 the beginning of an "How to recruit board members to your startup?" essay, thinks the second half is good enough to add into the essay. https://twitter.com/zebulgar/status/1283927560435326976
Automatically creating designs from a verbal description. https://twitter.com/jsngr/status/1284511080715362304
Richard "GPT-3" Dawkins summarizes the central idea of his book, "The Selfish Gene". (Also GPT-generated conversations with other famous people in that thread.) https://twitter.com/paraschopra/status/1284423233047900161
GPT-3 as a general question-answering system. (If I were to use that, I'd make sure to check those sources it gives, but of course even an answer that you have to verify from the source is better than nothing.) https://twitter.com/paraschopra/status/1284801028676653060
Integrating it to Google Sheets: fill in surrounding cells, GPT-3 figures out how to autocomplete the contents of the next one. https://twitter.com/pavtalk/status/1285410751092416513
