GPT-3 is essentially an auto-complete bot whose underlying Machine Learning (ML) model has been trained on vast quantities of text available on the Internet. Second, the free form text formats and protocols that we’re accustomed to may be too informal and error prone for capturing and reporting facts at Internet scale.

I’d been using the Internet since about 1984, for email and newsgroups, sharing files like my white papers via ftp sites, but in the early 1990’s the world wide web came along, and Sun was a very early adopter. I also applied Six Sigma to capacity planning and presented this at a conference in 2003.

Most of us work on connections that are typically quite a bit faster than that of the average internet user. In the early days of the web when we were browsing the internet via a dialup connection, improving performance meant removing the images from your site. I think this myth stems more from a lack of awareness.

Either API is so complicated that nobody really knows what is behind GUI, or there is a thick layer between API and GUI (Rich Internet Applications, Fat Clients, etc.), Unfortunately, there are too many contexts when you should use GUI to test (or protocol-level recording in performance testing which has the same issue).
