GPT-3 is nonfree software. I think it is not even released. Thus, we cannot include it in a free system; we cannot distribute it with Emacs. It would be possible to utilize GPT-3 running on Microsoft's server by sending it questions -- but that is SaaSS, which is an injustice similar to nonfree software. For explanation of this issue, see https://gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html. For ethical reasons we don't recommend SaaSS in GNU software, and a fortiori we don't distribute or recommend code to invoke SaaSS. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
