Another instance of confused language. One can not converse with a program because a conversation implies some notion of semantics and understanding. Software, represented as a binary sequence, has no semantics other than encoding some numbers and operations on those numbers. So at best, what we can say is that this post is about some arithmetic that looks like a linguistic interaction. Any semantics associated with the arithmetic performed by GPT-3 is simply self deception.

GPT-3 and all language models are just search engines that respond to queries by uncompressing the content encoded in the matrices of the model.
