Simulating a Controversial Debate: Creationism versus Evolution
To illustrate these concepts, I examined the classic debate involving Bill Nye and Ken Ham, which centered on creationism and mainstream science. While not a new topic, it exemplifies stark ideological differences and is ideal for testing the ability of GPT-3 to adopt contrasting viewpoints.
Choosing the Right GPT-3 Model
The initial step involved using the original GPT-3 Da Vinci model. This model is unfine-tuned and tends to generate more creative and less constrained output. Unlike refined models that often become repetitive or self-limiting, Da Vinci's outputs tend to keep going once a pattern is established, which is beneficial for exploring extended dialogues.
