Someone else said in a comment on LW that they think “custom” uses GPT-2, whereas using another setting and then editing the opening post will use GPT-3. I wanted to give them credit in response to your comment, but I can’t find where they said it. (They still wouldn’t get full points since they didn’t realize custom would use GPT-3 after the first prompt.) I initially totally rejected the comment since it implies that all of the custom responses use GPT-2, which seemed quite hard to believe given how good some of them are.
Some of the twitter responses sound quite annoyed with this, which is a sentiment I share. I thought that getting the AI to generate good responses was important at every step, but (if this is true and I understand it correctly), it doesn’t matter at all after the first reply. That’s some non-negligible amount of wasted effort.
