Its *learned* CGI techniques like ambient occlusion, drawing shadows, and reflections.

Here’s a mechanism for niche bloggers to fund their work via NFTs.
The blogger can mint an NFT that represents a “Post request” and sell it to the highest bidder.
This NFT gives its owner the right to have the blogger write about *any* topic of their choice.
For example, what if you wanted Slate Star Codex to write a post about how fish oil is a god-tier supplement?
Buy the NFT and redeem it!
BUT – if you believe SSC is very underrated, you could hold the NFT as it appreciates in value, then sell it when he's 100x more popular.

I only had to write 2 samples to give GPT-3 context for what I wanted it to do. It then properly formatted all of the other samples.
There were a few exceptions, like the JSX code for tables being larger than the 512 token limit.
