This is the first time I’ve used GTP-3 and was honestly a little disappointed. Don’t get me wrong — it’s an amazing model, I just didn’t see the improvements over GPT-2 that I was looking forward to (given the massive increase in parameter size over the already massive GPT-2.) Maybe the improvements in text generation are already marginal and it would take something like DALL-E to tell the difference.
I tried putting in the first sentence of a news article generated by GPT-2 for one of my previous projects into GPT-3 as a prompt. The following is what I got.
The family of a Maryland woman who was killed by a stray bullet last year has settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Kimberly Ballinger, a 19-year-old who was struck by a stray bullet in March 2018.
News outlets report attorneys for Ballinger’s family confirmed in a news release that the lawsuit against Baltimore County was settled on Aug. 17 for an undisclosed amount.
Sarah Gelsomino was struck in the neck by the bullet that struck Ballinger as the two were in a car. The lawsuit alleged that Ballinger was inadvertently killed by Gelsomino’s boyfriend, Charles Lee Thornton Jr.
Gelsomino survived and filed a lawsuit in June against Thornton. The lawsuit alleged the shooting was “reckless and unreasonable,” and that Thornton acted recklessly, setting into motion Ballinger’s death.

Thornton was charged in Ballinger’s death. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.

The family of a Maryland woman who was killed by a stray bullet last year has settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Kimberly Ballinger, a 19-year-old who was struck by a stray bullet in March 2018. Ballinger’s family said they were given about four weeks to file their claims, and on Monday the family settled the case. “The family is relieved that this case is closed,” Ballinger’s family attorney, Stephen R. Kaufman, said in a statement. “They have been unable to pursue their claims against the gun manufacturer that manufactured the bullet and that illegally sold it to the gun shop owner.” The Maryland shooting happened at a gun shop in Fayetteville, Maryland, when Ballinger was shopping with her father and a friend. The store owner, Lorne Ahrens, fatally shot Ballinger, who was a student at Towson University, according to the complaint. The gun shop owner’s wife, Tammy Ahrens, was also shot. “The bullet struck Ms. Ballinger squarely in the back of the head,” the complaint said. “Although Ms. Ballinger did not have a bullet wound, the bullet went through her inner right arm and into her right shoulder, severing a major part of her arm and causing her to lose her life.” Ballinger was struck on the left side of her body and her right arm, the complaint said. Ballinger was in critical condition at a hospital for about 24 hours before being transferred to a hospital for treatment of an arm injury, according to the complaint. The bullet was recovered from her body, and the gun shop owner was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, the complaint said. He had been held on $500,000 bond. Ballinger’s family asked that the $1 million awarded to Ahrens be increased to compensate for Ballinger’s loss of life and a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. The gun shop owner and his wife pleaded not guilty to murder charges. The family is asking for unspecified monetary awards, restitution and attorney’s fees. The family is also asking for the gun shop owner to be held accountable for his actions. CNN’s Artemis Moshtaghian contributed to this report.
