I feel the advent of GPT-3 / Codex and the power that comes with it has been surprisingly underestimated - maybe because the folks who would benefit most from it (people who don't write code, like myself) haven't really caught up with it, while the ones using it (mostly people who do write code) maybe don't see the immediate benefits as much (and maybe are a little bit concerned about what this will mean to their economic position in all this...?)
I've played around a ton with simple GPT-3 code over the last few weeks and am in total awe of the possibilities this opens up to folks like me (who don't write code)
E.g. I had GPT-3 write me app script integrations of itself (!) and stablediffusino into a Google Sheet, allowing me to build a massive sandbox playground for various prototyping experiments.
Here's a thread on that process if you're curious: https://twitter.com/fabianstelzer/status/1577416649514295297
