AI Won't Master Human Language Anytime Soon

GPT models are the stair steps towards this hypothesis: It is possible to create a meta-learning language model with unsupervised training. With its meta-learning capabilities it could learn different tasks it's never been trained on by showing it only a few on-context examples. GPT-3, presented in May 2020, is living proof that it's possible. Since OpenAI released the beta API for people to play with the system, we've seen examples so crazy that I wonder whether GPT-3 is actually sentient after all. It can create poetry and compose songs, impersonate historical figures in conversation, write code from a description or ponder about the future.
