Exploring GPT-3

By: Steve Tingiris

Overview of this book

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is a highly advanced language model from OpenAI that can generate written text that is virtually indistinguishable from text written by humans. Whether you have a technical or non-technical background, this book will help you understand and start working with GPT-3 and the OpenAI API. If you want to get hands-on with leveraging artificial intelligence for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, this easy-to-follow book will help you get started. Beginning with a high-level introduction to NLP and GPT-3, the book takes you through practical examples that show how to leverage the OpenAI API and GPT-3 for text generation, classification, and semantic search. You'll explore the capabilities of the OpenAI API and GPT-3 and find out which NLP use cases GPT-3 is best suited for. You’ll also learn how to use the API and optimize requests for the best possible results. With examples focusing on the OpenAI Playground and easy-to-follow JavaScript and Python code samples, the book illustrates the possible applications of GPT-3 in production. By the end of this book, you'll understand the best use cases for GPT-3 and how to integrate the OpenAI API in your applications for a wide array of NLP tasks.

Translating and transforming text

When you think about translating text, systems such as Google Translate might come to mind. But with GPT-3, you can also translate – and not just between spoken languages. You can translate between just about anything. Let's take a look.

Acronym translator

For our first translation example, we'll convert acronyms to their meanings. The following is the prompt text we'll be using:

Provide the meaning for the following acronym.
---
acronym: LOL
meaning: Laugh out loud
acronym: BRB
meaning: Be right back
acronym: L8R
meaning:

The prompt provides a few examples of acronyms and their meanings. Try it out with the following Node.js/JavaScript code.

Node.js/JavaScript example

To create the acronym translator example in Node.js/JavaScript, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to replit.com and open your exploring-gpt3-node repl.
  2. Create a new file: chapter07/acronym-translator.js.
  3. Copy the code from the dumb-joke...
