I ended the session because it seemed that Davinci was going into an infinite loop 🙂 When I logged back in it was functioning fine. I repeated some of the questions. In the second session Davinci seemed less intelligent. I don’t know the inner workings, of course. I need to learn about the parameters. But, overall, GPT-3 represents a great advancement.
