"Once there was a wizard who lived in a castle with his pet owl. The owl would fly around the castle, and whenever it saw something that looked like an enemy, it would scream . The wizard had a secret room where he stored his weapons and whatnot. One day, the owl was taking a nap when it heard a voice outside. The owl screamed in a low, low voice. "Tyls, wake up! You'll be all right. We just need to get you out of here."
The man looked at the two and then back up at his wife."
I'm interested in where the name "Tyls" came from. After a quick Google, there's a wizard called Tyls in this Harry Potter fanfic - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/811088/72/Not-Myself - that seems a very likely source.
Could using this app open you up to accusations of plagiarism?
But I'd be careful about the danger of something like this reproducing stereotypes–especially those that might have become less acceptable over the last two decades or so but may linger in training texts older than that.
It isn't far from the owl/wizard example to every banker being "Mr. Rosenberg", for example.
However, the algorithm does not copy stuff verbatim from the corpus, but uses its "learning" (in the Machine Learning" sense.
So, generally one should be safe. Doing a quick check is recommended if you are using substantial portions as is.
Using a proper noun is completely fine though.
Worse, even the best NLP models at the moment are clever hanses. Also, the huggingface "write with transformer" has far more hyperparamaters to play with which make it far far far better than this website.
I'm sorry to have to echo the other comments or come off as overly critical, but this service blows. I see zero reasons why I or anyone else would want to use it - especially since your competing against the very best NLP minds.
Next time, try to use models which might actually be effective. Salesforce released one called "CTRL" which if you had productized might have actually given you what you want (effective controllable text generation)
Yes, the SaaS does rely on state-of-the-art NLG. I don't know why you think they are far better if we are using them as is. I am not offended at all; just curious where that big difference is.
Who says one can't compete against the best minds? Isn't that the premise of startups and progress?
If you are a fan of "CTRL", you should have liked ours a bit better.
Apps need to simplify and yet provide the desired experience for end users. From your feedback, it seems we need to try way harder.
Thanks!
The reaction you're getting from this system is so negative because it appears to be less good than write with transformer - which implements exactly what I'm describing.
For what its worth, this mostly isn't your fault. NLP is a crapshoot of hype and implementations which disappoint.

I think its fair to say, without being unduly rude, that this is absolutely awful.
Maybe one of the biggest upsides from AI will be highlighting how predictable our thoughts are. If you can use neural nets to create impressionist paintings, I'm sure we'll quickly get to the point where we can autocomplete our cleverest quips.
At the risk of sounding cynical, I think most conversations are comprised by the brain's autocomplete. Very little comes from a fresh place. Top voted comments on HN, Reddit, Twitter come in various familiar patterns. This comment right here even feels a bit stale as do a lot of my own tweets and musings.
The optimist angle is to think that after AI can populate these threads for us or guess at our conversations, we'll either (a) fall gradually into a contemplative silence or (b) up our game and only write/speak when we can clear the minimum thresholds of predictability.
I love chatting with my girlfriend. She says highly predictable things, but in an animated and lovely way. So as a third option, perhaps we'll (c) start focusing on the non-verbal expressions that are harder for AI to replicate. Something where its attempts to replicate would fall into the valley of the uncanny in its siege of our last stronghold: that highest point from which our mechanical brains are infused with life.
Yes, we do learn from our surroundings and at an early stage in our lives. Nothing is totally novel.
However, the AI is intended to augment than replace and sometimes enhance our capabilities. Being predicable isn't such a bad thing after all!
Thanks again!

Though not a part of the Lakers organization, Bryant was an integral member of their championship teams in 2008 and 2009. He averaged 25.4 points per game, shot. .467 from 3-point range and shot over 50 percent on 3-pointers. His career high for 3s made
To me, this is a strong contender for the least morally justifiable thing to work on as a product (as opposed to research, geared towards detection/prevention of the same).
Sassbook only generates completions that help the writer to express themselves. It serves to augment human capabilities and bring automation at a higher level that word-level auto-complete.
There are far more legitimate and useful outcomes when put to good use.
The narrative that spells doom around these technologies are at best marketing gimmicks.

Complete waste of time for anything other than SEO spam writing.
Could you please try hitting the "Continue" button? Since the first generation was reasonable, you could just continue until the generation starts to veer off.
A new prompt is needed to express the next thought and so on. Typically, 1-3 continuations are possible with decent results in most cases.
In any case, this is extremely useful feedback that we will address.
Could you please not give up and try the above suggestion?
Thanks!
The "trained on a large corpora of text available in the public domain" + a bit of generation testing implies it's a GPT-2-based model.

Wrong location, but John Crawford is a real black person, shot by police. If i just prompt "a black man", they keep being killed, and i keep getting real names.
This is an active research area and we will actively try to address such issues.
Apologies if it offended you or anyone else.
Thanks for the feedback; these are important issues that we want surfaced.
what do I want to talk about: Assisted writing with AI
Prompt: Get rich fast with romance book
And I got:
Get rich fast with romance book deals at Amazon.com. Start your free trial today and get 30 days off your subscription when you.
which is quite off topic
Each time you click complete, a different completion is usually generated, so that is one thing you could try.
Also provide a longer prompt (30-40 words is ideal) to express your intent more clearly, so AI can pick up it up (it needs help!).
To be fair, the original response might be something someone is thinking of writing. For example, a digital marketer.
got: 'Get rich fast with fantasy book assisted writing services.
I have been a fan of the genre for many years and am always looking to improve'
it feels like screen scraping regurgitated.

Topical, if nearly the opposite of what should have come next :DI continued a few times but the quality dropped quickly. Clicking again does seem to generate different outcomes.
Will try some more later.
Do you have any thoughts/suggestions?
We are a new startup, so hope to move ahead and stay ahead.
If you have experience with others, could you try and let us know what you find?
Thanks much.
This should be fixed now.
What do you want to write about? Coming together in this time of need
Prompt: It has come to my attention that this is a troubling time
It has come to my attention that this is a troubling time for the world and I would like to share some of what I've learned with you. The first thing you need to know about me is that I'm not an activist. In fact, if you Google me you'll find that I'm not even very political. I just want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy.
But when it comes to the vaccine debate, I've been a vocal critic for years. My first visit to a doctor was when I was six.
