I had played around with GPT-3 beta and sort of written it off after I'd gave me a (honestly compelling though) lengthy argument that Eminem was a black man.

Earlier today I used ChatGPT to explain to me concepts I lacked understanding of, which allowed me to accurately interpret the statistical information in a scientific paper (I'm a reporter and got through a humanities degree with only an introductory stats class, like 10 years ago).

When I then asked it to copyedit the draft of my article however, it failed. Making it worse and introducing numerous innacuracies.

If you asked say someone who failed highschool to do the same would it do better?

The jump from GPT-3 beta to chatGPT is an omen for the next jump and the jump after that.
