Today the world changed forever.
Why? Because a group of Artificial Intelligence researchers released something called "GPT-3".
In short: it's a computer program that can interact like a ridiculously intelligent human.
And it will blow your mind

I used to write papers on AI safety at @Cambridge_Uni, but today is the most excited I've been in a long time.
Here's why...
Exhibit A: GPT-3 can take normal speech, and automatically turn it into 'lawyer speak'
Implication: lawyers, start learning to code, and fast...

Exhibit B: it can take written text, and turn it into fully functioning code - in real-time.
Implication: to those lawyers who just learned to code - yeah, sorry about that.
Maybe try one of the creative industries? https://twitter.com/sharifshameem/status/1282676454690451457?s=20

Then again maybe not. Because...
Exhibit C: this thing writes poetry. And it's actually not that bad!
Implication: if this is version 1, this thing will go on to produce works of beautiful art.
So what's next. Philosophy? Surely that's off-limits...

Nope. Turns out this thing is Descartes reincarnate.
Exhibit D: a 100% unique and deeply profound sentence, generated by GPT-3.
Implication: I am actually slightly lost on this one. It's beyond the limits of my comprehension this late in the evening.... https://twitter.com/edleonklinger/status/1284138261963735041?s=20

Right. So it can do law, coding, poetry, and philosophy.
At least my role as CEO is safe though, right?
Exhibit E: GPT-3 can write genuinely helpful, data-driven business strategies.
Implication: this thing will run companies someday. Someday soon... https://twitter.com/zebulgar/status/1283927560435326976?s=20

I could go on. The examples are endless, and this thing has *only just been released into the wild*.
Combined with the boundless ingenuity of the human race, the possibilities of GPT-3 are too far-reaching to summarise in a single tweet thread.
But I will say this:

The human race will survive, or perish, as a result of the Artificial Intelligence we build (or do not build).

GPT-3 gives but a glimpse into the power we're soon to unleash.
Thankfully, organisations like @OpenAI (who built this model) are pathing the way to safe & sustainable AI.

I'll leave you with this strange and beautiful paragraph, written by GPT-3 (when prompted - in bold - to describe a very specific scene):
