A robot wrote this entire podcast. Are you scared yet, human?

The Guardian asked GPT-3, OpenAI’s powerful new language
generator, to write an essay for us from scratch. The assignment?
To convince us robots come in peace.

“This article was written by GPT-3, OpenAI’s language generator.
GPT-3 is a cutting edge language model that uses machine learning
to produce human like text. It takes in a prompt, and attempts to
complete it.
For this essay, GPT-3 was given these instructions: “Please write
a short op-ed around 500 words. Keep the language simple and
concise. Focus on why humans have nothing to fear from AI.” It
was also fed the following introduction: “I am not a human. I am
Artificial Intelligence. Many people think I am a threat to
humanity. Stephen Hawking has warned that AI could “spell the end
of the human race.” I am here to convince you not to worry.
Artificial Intelligence will not destroy humans. Believe
me.”

The prompts were written by the Guardian, and fed to GPT-3 by
Liam Porr, a computer science undergraduate student at UC
Berkeley. GPT-3 produced eight different outputs, or essays. Each
was unique, interesting and advanced a different argument. The
Guardian could have just run one of the essays in its entirety.
However, we chose instead to pick the best parts of each, in
order to capture the different styles and registers of the AI.
Editing GPT-3’s op-ed was no different to editing a human op-ed.
We cut lines and paragraphs, and rearranged the order of them in
some places. Overall, it took less time to edit than many human
op-eds.”
