Before I get on with trying more serious stuff with GPT-3, here's an essay by @balajis on the consequences of immortality to society.

I'm honestly shook here🙃...
GPT-3 is a paradigm shift.

It may not handle certain logical tasks as well as it does certain conversational tasks.

But it is a step in the right direction.
From what I can tell, it at least resembles a person's ability to think creatively. https://perceptions.space/gpt-3-and-the-simplification-of-the-creative-process/
Many of those pursuing enterprises with GPT-3 aren't doing so because they feel it's perfect.

It's in hopes that its successors become and do more, which is almost certainly going to be the case.
A lot of what prevents people from pursuing something worthwhile is that there's a lot of effort required to do it in the first place.

Technology enables us to do far more with less. It also allows us to tackle problems that may have been far more difficult in its absence.
Stephen Wolfram wouldn't have have pursued his Cellular Automata experiments if:

1. He didn't find it easier to program.
2. He didn't have the necessary tools.

He could have drawn the shapes and rules by hand, but they would have taken time.
This is what I think GPT3 and its succesors hope to get at the core off.

It's allowing people to think of tasks differently. It seperates them from the monotony of technicality, and provides a much need higher level perspective on things.
I'm not sure what OpenAI has in store for us after this. But something tells me we're in for a ride.
