Predictive Text

Cognitive Engineering

Autocorrect, spell check and 'smart compose' were ostensibly invented to make our writing lives easier. But are they taking over and making us redundant? In this week’s 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. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - GPT-3, Bloviator: OpenAI’s language generator has no idea what it’s talking about https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/08/22/1007539/gpt3-openai-language-generator-artificial-intelligence-ai-opinion/ - A Complete Overview of GPT-3 — The Largest Neural Network Ever Created https://towardsdatascience.com/gpt-3-a-complete-overview-190232eb25fd - Broca's area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broca%27s_area For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email [e-mail]
