GPT-3: 'Mind-blowing' AI tool can design websites and prescribe medicine

The artificial intelligence tool GPT-3 has been causing a stir online, due to its impressive ability to design websites, prescribe medication, and answer questions. GPT-3 is short for Generative Pre-training Transformer and is the third generation of the machine learning model. Machine learning is when computers can automatically learn from their experiences without having to be programmed. Its predecessor, GPT-2, made headlines for being deemed "too dangerous to release" because of its ability to create text that is seemingly indistinguishable from those written by humans. While GPT-2 had 1.5 billion parameters which could be set, GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters.
