Welcome my lovely reader! The goal of this post is to briefly explain what GPT-3 is, and then showcase a wide range of examples to highlight its potential as a general purpose Natural Language Processing Artificial Intelligence.

Some of these examples are truly amazing, with a few coming close to being scary, so I encourage you to keep reading if you really want to enjoy yourself and see the possible reach of Artificial Intelligence.

However, before exploring what GPT-3 is all about, I want you to take a look at the following video from one of the Iron Man movies, where Tony Stark openly and broadly speaks with the virtual assistant he has created: Jarvis.

In this short video, you can see that Jarvis is able to interact with Stark on just about any topic, have a perfectly human-like conversation with him, answer questions, and even help him with his research.

Up to know AIs have excelled in very narrow domain specific tasks: fooling humans on the Turing Test, performing sentiment analysis, beating the worlds champions at chess, or summarising texts.

Despite of how impressive these achievements might be, the software’s that carried out each task were built specifically for that task, with only that goal in mind, and were fine tuned to provide good results under certain specific conditions.

They were very far from what we call an _Artificial General Intelligence _(AGI), which is an Artificial Intelligence that can perform reasonably well on a wide range of tasks: something more or less like Jarvis from Iron Man.
