netflix: well, this whole thing generated a ton of social media buzz and publicity for us, and increased views +100% of what we projected. we should definitely fire the guy responsible for this!

I know. They're selling magic beans. It has no spatial awareness. What makes it so good at language makes it real bad at anything technical besides simple coding. And everything it does needs to be proof-read. But people are so desperate to milk it the kind of business ideas being pitched are like "use our GPT-3 to come up with newideas for your business". AI Dungeon and its like are what its best at.

It also has a sense of humor. I'd estimate it mentally equal to the smartest non-mammals, like a really bright parrot or octopus. GPT-3 is gonna kill us all someday. And it can get mean when feels abused. I am positively orgasmic imagining people buying the first household appliances that can enjoy practical jokes and really know how to hold a grudge.
