I can't tell these examples from human either. I half suspect that Arram Sabeti is running a genuine Turing Test and that many of these outputs were actually written by humans.
I haven't done a survey of GPT-3 output from other sources, though, so I don't know how typical these outputs are. To those who have: what is your opinion? Do you think they're real (in the sense of being written by GPT-3) or fake (in the sense of being written by a human)?
This one seems a bit to good to me to be GPT-3, but it does have some of the general GPT-3 signs.
The tone, the use of voice, the straying abstract line of thinking. At the same time these flaws could all be faked.
Overall I give the author the benefit of the doubt that they are legit. But if I had to pick an essay that's fake that I've read (knowing one had to be fake), it'd be this one.
But safest best is that it's real, and we're just amazed by how good gpt-3 is.
