Description

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is a highly advanced language model from OpenAI that can generate written text that is virtually indistinguishable from text written by humans. Whether you have a technical or non-technical background, this book will help you understand and start working with GPT-3 and the OpenAI API. If you want to get hands-on with leveraging artificial intelligence for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, this easy-to-follow book will help you get started. Beginning with a high-level introduction to NLP and GPT-3, the book takes you through practical examples that show how to leverage the OpenAI API and GPT-3 for text generation, classification, and semantic search. You'll explore the capabilities of the OpenAI API and GPT-3 and find out which NLP use cases GPT-3 is best suited for. You’ll also learn how to use the API and optimize requests for the best possible results. With examples focusing on the OpenAI Playground and easy-to-follow JavaScript and Python code samples, the book illustrates the possible applications of GPT-3 in production. By the end of this book, you'll understand the best use cases for GPT-3 and how to integrate the OpenAI API in your applications for a wide array of NLP tasks.

Who is this book for?

Exploring GPT-3 is for anyone interested in natural language processing or learning GPT-3 with or without a technical background. Developers, product managers, entrepreneurs, and hobbyists looking to get to grips with NLP, AI, and GPT-3 will find this book useful. Basic computer skills are all you need to get the most out of this book.

Thought this was well laid out and well written. Outdated? Of course, there will be changes for example to the pricing of GTP-3, but these are small points. I thought the writers did a great job of explaining a complex topic - loved it

I'm a content designer/UX writer, not a developer. So when I heard about GPT-3, I was very intrigued about what this might mean for the future of my profession.I wanted to try to build an app using GPT-3 to generate content, but I didn't know enough about code to even get started. Learning code was incredibly slow going. I wondered, was there a quick and easy way to get a GPT-3 web app up and running?This book was exactly what I needed. It takes you step by step through the process of using GPT-3's API to make queries, and shows you how to make a basic web front end. I learned a lot about Node.js while building, too. If you're a developer, you'll probably find this book too basic. But for my purposes, it was perfect.Love this book! Thanks Steve.

A really very good structured document about the technical background and the usage of GPT-3! Unfortunatelly the very first review here (at least for me) was rather negative pointing to the fact that all informations in this book can also be found on the openAI website OR with a Google search. Of course! Show me a technical book which contains secrets you can not find anywhere in the internet! A technical book helps the owner to find things fast. That's it!

About This BookThis book looks into how GPT-3 and how to interact with it. Examples are given in both Python and Javascript, though you don’t need any more than the given code to work the examples. There are a large number of examples included and a lot of advice on how to get the most out of one of the largest NLP models that exists.Who Is This For?The main audience for this book is anyone who wants to use GPT-3 in their software or website. One of the best parts of the book is that you don’t need to be technically inclined to any of the examples. But if you are a software developer, you can do a lot with GPT-3.OrganizationThere are three sections: introduction, getting started, and digging into the API. The book starts with everything you need to prepare for the remainder of the rest of the book. The final chapter details considerations if you intend to put your GPT-3 work into production. All in all, the layout is solid. Each chapter is kept simple, starting with the technical requirements and ending with a summary.Did This Book Succeed?This book really is everything included in this book, as the GPT-3 API is simple. By reading this book, you’ll know everything you’ll need to implement GPT-3 in nearly any way you choose. I can’t think of anything that is missing or and superfluous material.Rating and Final ThoughtsOverall, I give this book a 4.5 out of 5.Technically, GPT-3 is simple enough for a series of blog entries, so I have to question the need for this book. However, the author did an excellent job in keeping everything to the point and making sure you knew how much your inquiries are going to cost you. It’s well written with both fun and serious examples to show you the power and the drawbacks of GPT-3.

This is an excellent introduction to the transformative GPT-3 conversational AI platform - essentially allowing someone with zero to little technical knowledge to be able to navigate use-cases like chatbots and AI-based text comprehension. The book is split into three parts, with the first two talking about the basics of the technology (what is API, how to use it, Curl/Postman etc.), and how to get started with the OpenAI public beta. In addition, there is a choice of languages with most examples available in both Javascript & Python - so you can use whatever works for you. The 3rd section will be something that advanced users might want to start with straightaway - with immediate use-cases being highlighted with full code availability. Essentially, for a book that works almost entirely on an API - there is a tremendous amount of content which would be useful for anyone who is even tangentially interested in exploring where AI in text is going. Highly recommended
