I never said zero stakes? There are clear instances where a a 1 or 0 shot transformer can have benefits beyond entertainment--topic modeling and named entity recognition for instance (I'm on the team that believes that human-in-the-loop systems will always outperform solo systems on their own and that GPT-3 alone does not confer any competitive advantage). If you think that chatbots are the only user facing use-case for a transformer, then frankly that's on you falling for the hype surrounding its language generation performance.

OpenAI knows GPT-3 is not sophisticated enough to perform medical diagnosis or analysis (anyone can look at how Watson failed), so it'd never approve such a risky application.
