OpenAI removes GPT-3 API waitlist, now generally available

OpenAI has removed the waitlist to access its GPT-3 API which means any developer can get started. The AI giant unveiled GPT-3 in May last year to a mixed reception. Few doubted GPT-3's impressive ability to generate text similar to a human writer, but many expressed concerns about the societal impact. Fake news and propaganda is already difficult to counter even when it's being generated in relatively limited amounts by human writers. The ability for anyone to use an AI to generate misinformation on a huge scale could have serious implications.
