The AI writer that can pass for human


"How do we become more creative?" This question was posed to an AI. Here was it's immediate answer:

"I think creative expression is a natural by-product of growing up in a diverse world. The more diverse the world is, the more you get exposed to different people, to different opportunities, to different places and to different challenges. And the more diverse that is, the more likely you’ll be to be able to put the dots together to form something new. And in many ways, I think if you want to be creative, you have to go for it. If you want to be a writer, you have to write, if you want to be a musician, you have to create music, if you want to be a comedian, you have to create comedy, and the more you create, the more likely it is that you’ll stumble onto some interesting stuff."

The AI that wrote that is named GPT-3, which learned what it knows of the English language by being fed the entirety of Wikipedia, analyzing thousands of digital books, and nearly 1 trillion words posted to blogs, social media and the internet.

The AI is capable of generating tweets, penning poetry, summarizing emails, and answering trivia questions.
