I've got a friend who tries to talk me down every time i enthuse about GPT-3 or similar. He seems to think I believe it to me more amazing than it is whereas I struggle to convince him that I think I've got a good handle on it's limitations and I still find it mind-bogglingly amazing.


Something I've learned over time is that sometimes it's OK to let people be curious and amazed. The world and science would be far too boring if we were cynical about _all_ of it _all_ the time.


Not sure if this is intentional or not, but this sounds potentially bot-written because of a typo and grammatical error.


No. I just typed it on a mobile device. (but maybe that's exactly what a bot would say...)

EDIT: Actually - that's no excuse for that awful second sentence. I'm ashamed of myself.


Actually - why would a bot be more likely to make typos and grammatical errors? Surely a slightly careless human is the simpler explanation?


Haha so I was actually thinking about that myself after submitting. Thanks for calling me out -- I guess my only answer to that would be, the bot (by that I meant GPT-3) is using the wrong conjugation of a verb it learned somewhere.
