Gregory's ServerAm I wrong to not be impressed by GPT-3?

@Gargron it's fine, but it's definitely not turing passable at all. At best it's good for answering trivia and *possibly* code generation. @gargron i mean.. it's just the latest shiny "AI" "machine learning" thing. people were equally 👀 about megahal or whatever. @Gargron from a friend: http://lacker.io/ai/2020/07/06/giving-gpt-3-a-turing-test.html  @Gargron No. I think it’s rational not to be. But I guess people who are close to the subject matter tend to get their feelings hurt when we shrug at the advances in their field. It is impressive but only in the “dancing bear” sort of way. Yea they got a bear to dance...not well, and it doesn’t know what it’s doing but it’s an accomplishment |
@Gargron I suspect it may be still a bit of an anti-climax.... I used to have a lot of high expectations of AI, because I thought Prolog was going to take off as a language... And Prolog *is* an amazing language... But it never really happened, and the so-called *big* AI language, Python, seems to me still to be really just a procedural language upgraded with object orientation... Prolog, on the other hand, genuinely is an AI language... in my humble opinion, anyway...
