Teaching AI to learn like a child

Throughout time, people have dreamt of creating human-like intelligent machines. We've been hearing recently about GPT3 – a new AI speech system from San Francisco Its developers claim that it can answer general questions, correct and complete texts, and even write them itself, without any task-specific training. GPT3 is so good that the texts it generates can scarcely be distinguished from those written by a human. So what do we make out of this? GPT3 is an artificial neuronal network that is trained with a text data set of 500 billion character strings drawn from the entire Internet (filtered), Wikipedia and several digitised book collections.
