An artificial intelligence “public writer”

Stronger than the spelling or grammar checker, there is now an artificial intelligence “public writer”.

Clearly, a software that writes texts for us.

It is terribly efficient.

You ask him, for example, "write an email to Alexandre to invite him to dinner this weekend".

You then set a formal style and a rather playful tone.

And he will offer you “My very dear Alexandre.

I hope you are well.

It is with great pleasure that we would be ready to welcome you this weekend for a meal with friends.

This could be a great opportunity to get together.

Tell me if you are available.

Friendships…” All this, of course, with perfect grammar and spelling.

Better: it also works in the other direction.

If you receive an invitation email and you don't know what to answer.

You paste it into the app.

He will understand it and write a formal, informal, friendly, firm response… it's up to you.

And isn't that gibberish?

Is it really a well-written text?

Yes.

It is a software based on GPT-3: a system unanimously recognized as the best in terms of text generation (we have created pastiches of famous authors with it).

This is the research project of the NGO OpenAI.

His goal ?

Ensuring that advances in artificial intelligence will benefit humans first.

The system, in itself, is rather complex to access.

This is why there are derivative programs, simpler, which target specific uses.

And the one I'm talking about today is called ParagraphAI.

It can generate tickets on any theme.

If asked for a list of the benefits of jogging.

He will write “jogging is good for staying in shape, for losing weight, for cardiovascular health, etc.

".

He can also improve the style and vocabulary of a text already written to make it more formal or more optimistic, for example.

The results are impressive.

Is it free or paid?

If you limit yourself to 20 paragraphs a day, it's free.

But if you want to write a thesis, on the other hand, you will have to go through a subscription.

The program has just one flaw: for the moment, it can only respond in English.

But the 100% French version is coming in the next few weeks.

Try it!

This is the future of word processing.
