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.

Creating chatbots

For the last set of examples, we'll look at creating chatbots. Technically, this would be classified as generating text so it could have been covered in Generating content and lists. But creating chatbots with GPT-3 is so much fun it deserves a section of its own. We'll start with a simple conversational chatbot.

A simple chatbot

For our simple chatbot, we'll be using the following prompt. We'll look at code for both Node.js/JavaScript and Python but the prompt for both is the same.

The first part of the prompt provides instructions for how the bot should respond and the general conversational style. You can change a lot about how the bot responds by changing the instructions and the example dialog. For instance, you could change the conversational tone by changing the words friendly and polite to rude and sarcastic.

Here is the prompt text for our simple bot:

The following is a conversation with an AI bot. The bot is very friendly...
