Language models like GPT-3 can learn new tasks with just a few examples, similar to how humans learn. GPT-3, with its 175 billion parameters, shows strong performance on various language tasks without needing specific training for each task. It can translate, answer questions, and even do math without any extra fine-tuning. However, there are still some tasks where GPT-3 struggles, and there are concerns about how it was trained on large amounts of web data. Overall, GPT-3 can generate news articles that are hard to tell apart from human-written ones, raising important societal questions.
