GPT-3 was trained only on 2021. It didn't know what happened in 2022. So if you use a pure language model, it simply won't be up to date. And so you get really weird things coming out of it. As recently as November of 2022, Facebook had a system or meta had a system called Galactica that said Elon Musk died in a car crash and he didn't actually die in car crash.
AI is amazing… or terrifying, depending on who you ask. This is a technology that elicits strong, almost existential reactions. So, as a Memorial Day special, we're running an episode of Recode Media with Peter Kafka that digs into the giant ambitions and enormous concerns people have about the very same tech.
First up: Joshua Browder (@jbrowder1), a Stanford computer science dropout who tried to get an AI lawyer into court.
Then: Microsoft's CTO Kevin Scott (@kevin_scott) pitches a bright AI future.
Plus: hype-deflator, cognitive scientist and author Gary Marcus (@GaryMarcus) believes in AI, but he thinks the giants of Silicon Valley are scaling flawed technology now—with potentially dangerous consequences.
