It looks like Elon Musk isn't happy about Microsoft exclusively licensing OpenAI's text-generating software
- Elon Musk voiced his discontent on Twitter that OpenAI — the AI research firm he helped found — is exclusively licensing its famous natural language software GPT-3 to Microsoft.
- "This does seem like the opposite of open. OpenAI is essentially captured by Microsoft," Musk tweeted.
- GPT-3 is able to generate text that looks natural enough to have been written by a human.
"Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text. It is the third-generation language prediction model in the GPT-n series created by OpenAI, a for-profit San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research laboratory.[2] GPT-3's full version has a capacity of 175 billion machine learning parameters. GPT-3, which was introduced in May 2020, and is in beta testing as of July 2020,[3] is part of a trend in natural language processing (NLP) systems of pre-trained language representations.[1] Prior to the release of GPT-3, the largest language model was Microsoft's Turing NLG, introduced in February 2020, with a capacity of 17 billion parameters or less than 10 percent compared to GPT-3.[4]
The quality of the text generated by GPT-3 is so high that it is difficult to distinguish from that written by a human..."
