I got my beta invite last month. I messed around with it for about 30-45 minutes, only to discover that I had already blown through half of my allocated “trial credits”. This really killed my motivation to keep tinkering with the product.


I had exactly the same experience, and any hope of developing a business case went out the window when I realised I'd need a business case to justify the expense of developing a business case. In a desperate attempt to salvage the possibility of using the AI in any fashion I tried prompting GPT-3 to write the business case for itself, feeding it excerpts of several successful such documents of my own to set the tone and structure, at which point I ran out of credits.

You can try doing the same on the cheap with AI Dungeon, but there's a fair chance it'll be overrun by vampires and mad scientists before the IRR-to-WACC ratio estimation section, rendering any such document fit only for mopping up after goblins. You feel a sudden pain in your chest.


It feels like the second paragraph was written by Open-AI... Was it?


Now every AI article has a comment from someone being suspicious that a comment was generated.

[This comment, like every other comment on HN, was generated by GPT-3. You're the only human here.]


Well, okay... but the reason I'm suspicious is that the last sentence ends abruptly. It calls for a follow-up that never comes.


It was mimicking GPT3's writing style in AI Dungeon
