As a programmer by trade, I am mostly concerned about the other development, https://deepmind.com/blog/article/Competitive-programming-with-AlphaCode where an AI is as good as an average human programmer (in these controlled setups). If this is not a fire alarm for general AI, I don’t know what is. How long until an AI is better than the best programmers? If the past is any indication, probably a few years at best.
It’s a good question, has there been a push to get a GPT to write quality novels? Because there will be a push to automate programming jobs, that’s a given.
I’m not aware of any real push. OA pushed (and may still be pushing) in the inverse direction, recursive summarization of novels, with some success. Matt Brockman and some others were early on discussing a bit how to do recursive expansion but AFAIK no one ever got a prototype working and everyone has long since moved on (especially now that the API isn’t free so a single novel from davinci with full context windows would cost a fair bit)

It’s been 3 years since GPT-2, how long until an AI is better than the best novelist?

Just like the push to automate truck drivers. Any day now.
