Earlier this week I was lucky to get early access to a beta version of OpenAI’s latest generative pre-trained transformer model (GPT-3) — a new platform technology that can be used as a sophisticated AI-assistant without having to write code.
本周早些时候，我很幸运能够抢先体验OpenAI最新的生成式预训练变压器模型(GPT-3)的Beta版本-一种新的平台技术，可以用作复杂的AI助手，而无需编写代码。
As someone who isn’t a software engineer, I was still able to experiment and demonstrate use cases that can improve productivity, boost creativity, and accelerate learning and education.
作为不是软件工程师的人，我仍然能够进行实验和演示用例，这些用例可以提高生产力，提高创造力并加速学习和教育。
This ease of use — where non-technical people can so easily leverage their creativity to benefit from AI — has got me just as excited as I was when I interacted with a computer for the first time as a child; so much so that I now believe AI is going to substantially impact every professional job sooner than expected.
这种易用性-非技术人员可以轻松地利用其创造力从AI中受益-使我像小时候第一次与计算机进行交互时一样兴奋。 如此之多，以至于我现在相信AI将会比预期更快地对每个专业工作产生重大影响。
In this post I’ll briefly highlight three use cases I tinkered with and which can be applied to work right away. I’ll then touch on what the broader benefits of GPT-3 could be and some of the potential risks.
在这篇文章中，我将简要介绍一下我修改过的三个用例，这些用例可以立即用于工作。 然后，我将探讨GPT-3可能带来的更广泛的好处以及一些潜在的风险。
关于炒作的警告 (A Caveat on Hype)
As is the case with any new advanced technology, GPT-3 isn’t perfect. It breaks a bunch of times, it needs a human to guide it often, and it sometimes spits out gibberish.
与任何新的先进技术一样，GPT-3也不完美。 它会中断很多次，需要一个人经常对其进行指导，有时会吐出一些胡言乱语。
From what I can gather, GPT-3 isn’t sophisticated enough to replace jobs entirely (although you can see this happening if you take these advancements to their logical conclusions) but the speed with which I was able to get it to do useful things is truly astonishing.
据我所知，GPT-3不够完善，无法完全替代工作(尽管如果您将这些进步归结为合乎逻辑的结论，您会看到这种情况的发生)，但是我能够以这种速度来做有用的事情真是令人惊讶。
3示例用例 (3 Example Use Cases)
(1) Turning legalese into plain English: I trained GPT-3 how turn legal text into simple English without writing any code. You can see the example from my tweet below.
(1)将法文翻译成普通英语：我训练了GPT-3如何在不编写任何代码的情况下将法文翻译成简单的英语。 您可以从以下我的推文中看到示例。
(2) Generating code: I gave it 3 coding examples on how to turn English into regex code. Without more context it was still able to generate longer pieces of useful code given simple English prompts. Here’s a video demo of it.
(2)生成代码：我给出了3个编码示例，说明如何将英语转换为regex代码 。 在没有更多上下文的情况下，如果给出简单的英语提示，它仍然能够生成更长的有用代码。 这是一个视频演示。
(3) Writing content: Finally, I trained GPT-3 on my writing with two paragraphs from this blog post. I then gave it a 7-word prompt for a point I wanted to make and it generated a handful of solid paragraphs. I took bits from the two best iterations and used them in this blog. And you know what, they sound just like me! (I’ll let you guess which bit of the blog is GPT-3 generated.)
(3)撰写内容：最后，我用这篇博客文章的两段内容对GPT-3进行了培训。 然后，我给它一个7字的提示，提示我要提出的观点，它产生了一些实心的段落。 我从两次最佳迭代中获取了一些信息，并在本博客中使用了它们。 而且您知道吗，它们听起来就像我！ (我会让您猜测是GPT-3生成了博客的哪一部分。)
Saying I “taught” the AI in these examples is both an over-complication and over-simplification. It’s an over-complication because all I did was give GPT-3 a few examples so it could have context. Anyone can do this. There’s no special talent or skill required unless you’d like to build these things into publicly available web apps.
在这些示例中说我“教”了AI既复杂又过于简化。 这太过复杂了，因为我所做的只是举几个GPT-3的例子，所以它可以有上下文。 任何人都可以做到这一点。 除非您希望将这些内容构建到可公开使用的Web应用程序中，否则不需要特殊的才能或技能。
Moreover it’s an over-simplification because what’s going on under the hood of GPT-3 is insanely complex and impressive. The underlying neural network was trained on over 500GB of text data and has 175 billion parameters (i.e. the weighting variables applied to inputs) which is over 100 times what GPT-2 had.
而且，这过于简单了，因为GPT-3背后发生的事情异常复杂且令人印象深刻。 基础神经网络在500GB以上的文本数据上进行了训练，并具有1,750亿个参数(即应用于输入的权重变量)，是GPT-2的 100倍以上。
对非技术专业人员的好处 (Benefits for Non-Technical Professionals)
Clearly the potential for GPT-3 is ubiquitous but we can broadly group the benefits in these buckets:
显然，GPT-3的潜力无处不在，但我们可以将这些好处归纳如下：
Gains in Productivity — You can use GPT-3 as an AI productivity assistant to automate repetitive tasks. I’ve already trained it on a few simple emails I send regularly and all I have to do is feed it prompts which it uses to generate a kind email reply. The archaic way of doing this historically was to hire an assistant who would draft documents for you to review, edit, sign, and send. Now an AI can do this for you.
提高生产率 —您可以将GPT-3用作AI生产率助手来自动执行重复性任务。 我已经在我定期发送的一些简单电子邮件中进行了培训，而我所要做的就是在它提示下提供提示，以使用它来生成电子邮件回复。 从历史上看，古老的做法是聘请一名助理，他会起草文件供您查看，编辑，签名和发送。 现在，人工智能可以为您做到这一点。
Creativity Boost — If you get creative block, tell GPT-3 what general structure you want for a piece of writing and it will generate random (but potentially cohesive) sentences that might lead to a new thought. Don’t like them? Then tell it to try again and it will auto-generate more sentences that could help get you out of a jam.
Creativity Boost —如果您有创造力，请告诉GPT-3您想用什么总体结构写作，它将生成随机(但可能具有内聚性)的句子，从而引发新的思想。 不喜欢他们吗？ 然后告诉它再试一次，它将自动生成更多句子，帮助您摆脱困境。
Democratized Access to Technical Understanding — GPT-3 can be used as an education tool to accelerate learning. As I show with the legalese translator, it can help remove barriers to technical understanding by translating industry lingo into plain language, which is key when you are trying to learn something new.
民主获得技术理解权 -GPT-3可用作加快学习速度的教育工具。 正如我与法文翻译所展示的那样，它可以通过将行业术语翻译成通俗的语言来帮助消除技术理解的障碍，这在您尝试学习新知识时很关键。
要考虑的挑战 (Challenges to Consider)
As is the case with any technology, there will be many challenges with its use. To name but a few:
与任何技术一样，其使用将面临许多挑战。 这仅仅是列举的一小部分：
Malicious Use Cases — GPT-3 can be used at scale for sophisticated phishing scams, propaganda, and fraud. Society will need to be vigilant by default when it comes to all digital content going forward. We will also need to rethink what it means to author something. Copyright laws, academic reviews, and attribution are going to get real tricky.
恶意使用案例 -GPT-3可大规模用于复杂的网络钓鱼诈骗，宣传和欺诈。 默认情况下，对于所有未来的数字内容，社会将需要保持警惕。 我们还需要重新考虑创作某些东西的含义。 版权法，学术评论和署名将变得非常棘手。
Biased AI Models — GPT-3 is trained on existing human records and they are full of bias and stereotypes across qualities such as race, gender, and religion. Until such biases are sufficiently mitigated for, AI outputs have to be challenged and considered in the context of the kind of society we would like to live in.
偏爱的AI模型 -GPT-3对现有的人类记录进行了训练，并且在种族，性别和宗教等品质方面充满偏见和成见。 在充分消除此类偏见之前，必须在我们希望生活的社会背景下挑战和考虑AI的输出。
Cost and Access — GPT-3 reportedly cost $12m to train and so far it’s in a closed invite-only beta. To benefit society more widely, the cost of training similar models will need to come down substantially so that the technology is more accessible and evenly distributed to foster innovation.
成本和使用权 -据报道，GPT-3的培训成本为1200万美元 ，到目前为止，它处于封闭式仅限邀请测试版。 为了使社会更广泛地受益，培训相似模型的成本将需要大大降低，以便使该技术更容易获得和平均分配以促进创新。
To some, GPT-3 seems like just a cool toy. It does a few seemingly clever things but isn’t groundbreaking. To others, it may be the biggest thing in technology since Bitcoin. We’ll know who’s right in a few years but given what I’ve seen so far, and what I’ve been able to do with GPT-3, my money is on the enthusiasts.
在某些人看来，GPT-3看起来像是很酷的玩具。 它做了一些看似聪明的事情，但并不是开创性的。 对其他人来说，这可能是自比特币以来技术上最大的事情 。 我们会知道几年后谁是对的，但是鉴于我到目前为止所看到的以及我对GPT-3所做的一切，我的钱都花在了发烧友身上。
A brief epilogue: I was initially surprised that GPT-3 hasn’t yet got much coverage from mainstream media. But then I remembered how the world’s first ecommerce transaction in 1994 was relegated to a low-key section of the NY Times back in 1994 (see picture below). Turns out, these things take time to get wider reach and it just might be that 2020 is for AI what 1994 was for ecommerce and the web.
简短的结尾：我最初对GPT-3尚未得到主流媒体的广泛报道感到惊讶。 但是后来我想起了1994年全球第一笔电子商务交易是如何在1994年降级为《纽约时报》低调部分的(请参见下图)。 事实证明，这些事情需要时间才能得到更广泛的应用，而对于AI而言，2020年可能是1994年对于电子商务和网络而言。
