GPT-3

GPT-3 is a large-language model developed by OpenAI, and was influential in powering ChatGPT, which radically changed expectations as the the capabilities of AI. The apparent step-change in capability started a conversaton as to whether any intelligent behaviour could in fact be produced based on sheer volume of data and computation. GPT-3 could be tuned for different tasks using prompts and is derisgned to be used as a service by other applicatons, this led to a large growth of applications using GPT-3 as the underlying engine. However, because GPT-3 and its successors are built using large volumes of web data there are concerns about privacy and intellectual property, especially as it occasionally could reproduce verbatim portions of input documents.
