Get started with GPT-3 and the OpenAI API for natural language processing using JavaScript and Python
Key FeaturesUnderstand the power of potential GPT-3 language models and the risks involvedExplore core GPT-3 use cases such as text generation, classification, and semantic search using engaging examplesPlan and prepare a GPT-3 application for the OpenAI review process required for publishing a live applicationBook DescriptionGenerative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is a highly advanced language model from OpenAI that can generate written text that is virtually indistinguishable from text written by humans. Whether you have a technical or non-technical background, this book will help you understand and start working with GPT-3 and the OpenAI API.
If you want to get hands-on with leveraging artificial intelligence for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, this easy-to-follow book will help you get started. Beginning with a high-level introduction to NLP and GPT-3, the book takes you through practical examples that show how to leverage the OpenAI API and GPT-3 for text generation, classification, and semantic search. You'll explore the capabilities of the OpenAI API and GPT-3 and find out which NLP use cases GPT-3 is best suited for. You'll also learn how to use the API and optimize requests for the best possible results. With examples focusing on the OpenAI Playground and easy-to-follow JavaScript and Python code samples, the book illustrates the possible applications of GPT-3 in production.
By the end of this book, you'll understand the best use cases for GPT-3 and how to integrate the OpenAI API in your applications for a wide array of NLP tasks.

It started well, explaining some basic concepts behind GPT. But the last half of the book is very weak. It wastes many pages explaining basic stuff like HTTP and how to use Curl, and the examples are too repetitive.
Much more explanation dedicated to basic API calling than how to use the system. Am left with many basic questions, but stilll is a good quick onboarding.
This book is a very thorough and friendly guide to building a GPT-3 application from openai's beta version API. It also provides a step-by-step guide with other related tools to the readers.
The only two things I can think of to improve are to provide more in-depth content such as improving latency, as well as to update or add more recent API features or functions, such as embedding, which is missing in the book and I guess it is because these features were not released by openai at the time this book was written.
Overall, it is a very nice book to help me to start understanding openai's text-based API, as well as start incorporating it with other necessary tools to build a web application.
Thank you very much Mr. Tingiris. Please keep up the good work.
