Re: GPT-3 hype. These models still can't solve logic puzzles like sudoku. So they're not close to anything that can be considered generally intelligent.

There is a demo creating hype with a web app that could turn a requirement detail written in English to a form using GPT-3 but I think that it isn't much and the hype will soon fade away.

Yes, I saw that and thought that was a much better use case than completing sentences.

But in terms of actually using it to build products, do you think that it will be able to handle complex design requirements, branding, etc?
📚 Terry Mcginnis
I'm not sure. The demo only showed how to design buttons with simple functions like adding and subtracting numbers. If he had demonstrated more complicated data flow I would have been less skeptical but right now I don't think it will scale up to more complicated use cases.

They don't really understand how language works. I think we'll get somewhere when we can combine these models with something else. Something remotely intelligent is going to have to figure out what it wants to say before it figures out how to say it.

Yes. General intelligence requires symbolic reasoning and abstraction capabilities.
