! FIRST AND FOREMOST ! : THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY is the exclusive and eternal ownership of every student of Czech Republic, as it of every single student in the world.

ALMIGHTY GOD WILLING : '' THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY - led by the Students of America, led by some very brilliant NERDS, will invent the future; an entirely new world for mankind and for the generations to come.

JUST AFTER GLOBAL ELECTIONS BEGIN - maybe, two years into the global elections and '' about  eight years from now ,'' I predict '' the level of inventions all around the world and on !WOW! will wipe everything and explode.''

GPT-3 IS QUITE A BEAST. THE GENERATIVE Pre-Trained Transformer 3, to give its full name, is a language model developed by OpenAI, a part commercial, part not-for-profit artificial intelligence [AI] lab in San Francisco.

GPT was trained on an unprecedented mass of text to text to teach it the probability that a given word will follow preceding words. When fed a short text '' prompt '', it cranks out astonishingly coherent prose written in a similar style.

Access to GPT is restricted. For one thing, says Jack Clark, former head of policy at the organisation, it might otherwise be used to mass produce fake news or flood social media with '' trolling griefing '' messages.

But OpenAI also knows that it is commercially valuable. Last year the laboratory started letting vetted firms buy its output for approved uses.

These include producing answers to typed questions about products, and powering the speech of fictional characters in virtual worlds. But perhaps most important, GPT-3 can also be used to write computer code.

Several firms are already using GPT-3 and its predecessor GPT-2 to add AI to the software that those programmes use to write code. Much of what these programmers type out has already been written elsewhere at some point in the past.

This means that by feeding oodles of pre-existing code into such packages, they can be trained to predict the lines a programmer needs next. As a programmer types, potential ''code completions '' of one or a few lines pop up on the screen.

One company that has created such an AI completion feature is Tabnine, of Tel Aviv. Tabline used GPT-2 to feed so much code to its programming software, also named Tabnine, that this software gained a sort of '' world knowledge '', says Eran Yahav, the firm's top technologist.

Dr. Yahav describes this as '' a pretty good notion of how the world behaves'', at least when it comes to programming speak. Tabnine software may detect that a user has begun to type code to handle, say, purchase orders.

It will then suggest code to display product names and prices, as well as code to create fields to be filled with quantities, payment and delivery data. It works even though Tabnine has never been specifically instructed to do that.

Some coding sequences are rare. In these cases, Tabnine lengthens its opo-up list of suggested completions to increase the likelihood offering a useful one. By clicking on one that is appropriate, the programmer teaches Tabnine to perform better.

Tabnine's professional version seems '' almost intelligent '' in its ability to understand a programmer's intent, according to Dror Weiss, the firm's boss.

Tabnine is not alone. On June 17th Microsoft, an American software giant, released a new version of an AI-completion feature which it embeds in coding software called Visual Studio.

The original version, released in 2018 and named Intelligent Code, was trained on a few thousand online repositories in which code for programming projects is stored.

Microsoft trained its upgraded system on more than half a million such repositories. Amanda Silver, one of the executives in charge of Visual Studio, says these extra heaps of training fodder allow the new version to glean intent better from hints in code that a programmer has already written.

The purpose of all this, of course, is to save time. Kite, a firm in San Francisco, claims its AI-completion products cut the number of keystrokes required for some tasks by nearly half. Overall efficiency gains, however, are lower.

Vitaly Khudobakhshov, head of AI products at the St Petersburg office of JetBrains, a Czech developer of programming software, sees time savings of 10% to 20%.

In the view of Sharif Shameem, the boss of Debuild, a firm in San Francisco that uses GPT-3 to help build websites, the technology also reduces '' cognitive overhead ''. Selecting from multiple choices is less taxing than devising solutions from scratch.

The Honour of Serving of the Latest Global Operational Research on Science & Technology, Past, Present and Future Developments continues. The World Students Society thanks The Economist.

With respectful dedication to the Global Founder Framers of !WOW!, and then Students, Professors and Teachers of the world.

See You all prepare for Great Global Elections on !WOW! - the exclusive and eternal ownership of every student in the world : wssciw.blogspot.com and Twitter X !E-WOW! - The Ecosystem 2011 :

Good Night and God Bless
