GPT-3 is very good at bullshitting in tweet form

A study by researchers at the University of Zurich found that people they surveyed couldn't tell if a tweet was written by a human or GPT-3 and are more likely to believe disinformation when it is generated by GPT-3. Granted, the tweets were out of context (couldn't see the user's profile or past tweets), but when applied in this manner, people legitimately couldn't tell it was written by a bot and were more likely to believe it. Luckily then, that the Vatican (via a Catholic university think tank) has released a handbook titled "Ethics in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: An Operational Roadmap" - a "much-needed corporate primer offers a practical roadmap with specific recommendations to help organizations address the ethical complexities associated with disruptive technologies such as AI, machine learning, encryption, tracking, and others".
