The Rise of GPT-3: Implications for Natural Language Processing and Beyond

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) and its significance in natural language processing (NLP). A brief history of NLP and machine learning is presented before delving into the technical details of GPT-3's architecture and training process. The article also compares GPT-3 with previous generations of language models, including GPT-1 and GPT-2. Applications of GPT-3 in NLP are discussed, including text completion and generation, language translation and sentiment analysis, and conversational agents and chatbots. However, the article also acknowledges the limitations and challenges of GPT-3, including bias and ethical concerns, understanding the limitations of GPT-3's training data, and the challenge of evaluating and benchmarking language models. Moreover, the article explores potential applications of GPT-3 beyond NLP, including creative writing and art, scientific research and data analysis, and music and audio production. Finally, the article discusses the future directions for GPT-3 and NLP, including challenges and opportunities for developing even more advanced language models and the implications of GPT-3 for the future of human-machine interaction and the broader field of artificial intelligence research.

Applications of natural language processing tools in the surgical journey

“…Furthermore, they could generate natural text with contextual understanding (4). The ability of ongoing innovation in this space led to the development of large language models, powerful tools that had tremendous computational ability to analyse natural human language and generate natural language text (6). Popular and contemporary forms of these tools have included ChatGPT and Google Bard.…”

Balancing the Equation: Investigating AI Advantages, Challenges, and Ethical Considerations in the Context of GPT-3, Natural Language Processing, and Researcher Roles

“…These systems used rule-based approaches to translate text from one language to another. These early efforts paved the way for more advanced NLP approaches, including statistical and machine learning-based methods [3]. NLP has many benefits for humans, such as facilitating communication between humans and machines, between humans and humans with different languages, and processing and presenting information from large texts.…”
