"while essay-writing systems change and improve over time, so too will our definitions of what constitutes a good and original academic essay [...] we should be regularly reviewing our expectations for academic writing"

Very, very aware of who's behind it.

Which is why we need to keep an eye on it and beyond it, and do the research
#ArtificialIntelligence
#GPT-3 #GPT-4
#MachineLearning
#AcWri
#OpenAI #StoryMachines #PostHumanism
#CriticalAI
#HigherEducation

These are mainly a ntm but sharing in case anybody out there also has an interest in how #MachineLearning and #StoryMachines understand complex human social practices, such as #AcademicWriting #Acwri

Text generated by https://beta.openai.com/ (free version so can't get a full academic essay out of it unless I pay)

@serenissimaj @sharplm

The first three lines of Ondaatje’s Divisadero, titled with the Nietzsche quote later in that passage.

Thank you for the demo!

@sharplm
Here is mine - I wonder if anybody in these threads would mind if at some point I used some of these machine-generated stories in my research (with due acknowledgment, of course).

What genre is this particular GPT-3 trained on (short fiction? How short?)

#AcWri #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #StoryMachines

ntm for research on #AcWri:

"the [AI] training process is highly dependent on prior labelling performed by a human operator. This is problematic because it crystallises the operator’s cultural biases (e.g. racism and sexism) as well as her possible mistakes".

What other biases are being built in to #StoryMachines for #AcademicWriting?
