Imagine that you have a great idea, which has a certainty of prospering online. What if you do not possess the right skill set to create your website or blog articles?

As an enthusiastic person, you will build a team that assists you in web designing and content creation. But wouldn’t you be elated to avail an all-in-one package that’s capable of performing all the work required?

How about opting for artificial intelligence that is capable of generating text like a human?

Could you guess that this poem is written by Open AI?

By now, you have guessed that in this article we are going to go through the recently launched AI GPT 3 and its proficiencies.

An AI model that assists the startups in text generation is the revolutionary technological advancement but is it at a cost of replacing the writers and coders?

Open AI has recently introduced a new language generator GPT3. Generative Pre-training transformer (GPT) 3 is capable of writing text. This language model with 175 billion parameters is more upgraded than its predecessor GPT 2 with 1.5 billion parameters.

GPT3 is a valuable asset for non-programmers.

The potentiality of the model in generating eloquent novels and poems is exceptional. With the capability of replicating the famous novelists proves it to be indistinguishable from human writing skills.

Generating the next sentences in the desired paradigm is processed by easily copy-pasting the excerpt of introductory lines. The original input is assessed by the tool that further generates succeeding statements, recognizing and adapting to the style. Accordingly, it examines the earlier sentence and produces the whole script contingent upon your requirements.

Simply given the topic, this AI does its work stunningly well by delivering an article scanning and meticulously consuming all the existing articles on the search engine. It could take a lifetime for a human being to research and construct the same. Being noticed on the internet, as an e-entrepreneur, is imperative. Consistently updating your blog with articles in the niche you are well-versed in not only provides value to the audience but also helps you grow.

OpenAI designed GPT3 Model with 175 billion parameters.

• It is capable of writing poems and novels.

• The text generator completes articles based on the previous pattern typed.

• It has a meta-learning capacity that adapts to styles rapidly.

• The GPT-3 model is also eligible for calculations.

• You can generate complete codes, by simply describing what you want your app to do.

  • It is indistinguishable from human writing and can frame in different languages.

Besides acing the art of writing, this GPT 3 Artificial Intelligence model consists of other extraordinary features.

Meta-learning

The GPT3 model possesses meta-learning, meaning it doesn’t require any extra time/effort to train the model. Rapidly adapting to the environment with provided examples gives it a huge scope to update resiliently. Sentences produced are unpredictable because it is developed on the meta-learning capacity of identifying and reproducing from the previously learned context.

Calculations

In addition to generating texts, GPT 3’s Artificial Intelligence performs arithmetic calculations. One can configure the text length and control the settings for starting and stopping the text. An embedded chatbot assists you in performing the tasks, enabling easier accomplishment of expected work.

Code generation

All the professional coders were taken aback when the founder dropped a bombshell revealing about this model. Time taken to learn coding and the complications while developing an app are obviated. Given the requirements, the model customizes the website design duly. Most of the non-coders are on the edge of their seats using this tool.

The AI is claimed to produce text in different languages by one of the users who leveraged the tool.

So does it replace human creativity? No, there are drawbacks.

Sam Altman’s tweet

One of the substantial drawbacks of GPT3 is the incapability to distinguish and reason out the difference between authentic and fraudulent activities online. This AI model concludes after running through several articles and considering opinions, that could in turn be malicious.

Limitations militate against the model as a few people took to Twitter to express their two cents on how this Artificial Intelligence generated sexist, racist comments when provided with a keyword. That brings us to another noticeable limitation of failing to differentiate between credible and untrustworthy sources, affecting the answers reproduced by GPT 3.

Although it makes the work of amateur coders and writers simpler, in the end, the human touch is requisite in ensuring that aspects covered are apt. We can safely conclude that the GPT3 model didn’t reach the expectations of perfectionism. Ultimately determining the relevance of the content is in human hands without an iota of doubt.

Artificial intelligence certainly has a scope to replace professions but GPT3 is just a breakthrough. If you are a copywriter who loves competitions then don’t miss registering at a friendly competition between Artificial Intelligence and Human writers.
