Predictive Text

Published: June 29, 2022, 8:58 a.m.

Autocorrect, spell check and 'smart compose' were ostensibly invented to make our writing lives easier. But are they taking over and making us redundant?\n\nIn this week\u2019s podcast, we discuss predictive text. Now that there are a slew of freely available AI text-based software applications, should we be disturbed by AI innovations that closely resemble human writing skills? Do they lead to the grave implications claimed by some or should they be seen as benign creations? We discuss GPT-3, AI Dungeon and the implications for children, communications professionals and authors. Finally, we play out a predictive text scenario live in the studio. \n\nA few things we mentioned in this podcast:\n\n- GPT-3, Bloviator: OpenAI\u2019s language generator has no idea what it\u2019s talking about https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/08/22/1007539/gpt3-openai-language-generator-artificial-intelligence-ai-opinion/\n- A Complete Overview of GPT-3 \u2014 The Largest Neural Network Ever Created https://towardsdatascience.com/gpt-3-a-complete-overview-190232eb25fd\n- Broca's area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broca%27s_area\n\nFor more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com
