Talking to the dead through GPT-3
Here’s a gripping tale of a man who, stricken with grief over the death of his fiancée, decided to fine-tune a GPT-3-based chatbot to mimic her personality so he could talk to her beyond the grave.
Joshua Barbeau came across Project December last year, a website that allows anyone to spin up a chatbot, trained on supplied snippets of text, that writes in a distinct type of way. The application uses OpenAI's text-generation models GPT-2 and GPT-3 in its backend. People type in a sentence and the machine replies.
Out of curiosity, Barbeau gave it old texts and Facebook messages that his fiancée, Jessica Pereria, sent him during their relationship. Although he knew it was make-believe and the chatbot sometimes said things that were unJessica-like, there were instances in their conversation that felt surprisingly very real.
It’s interesting to see how he used the chatbot to feel better about her death. It's worth a read to find out what he did knowing that there was a finite amount of time he could spend talking to her before it was deleted.
