How to "Collab" with an AI

As a Contributing Writer at PCMag , I've covered many #AI stories. I’ve seen an AI write and direct movies, while another one slipped into a quantum “dream” and I even used an AI (with surprisingly effective outcomes) as a therapist.

I also interviewed research scientist Dr. Janelle Shane, who collaborates with an AI on a daily basis - despite its sometimes mad and crazy output, which she covered in her book You Look Like a Thing and I Love You: How AI Works and Why It's Making the World a Weirder Place.?

Recently, Ziff Davis PCMag gave me another assignment, to find out if #AI is now smart enough to be an “intelligent writing assistant” in the office (virtual, hybrid/co-working, or otherwise).

I tested several AIs in my pursuit of excellence - and here's my final verdict (yes, I did show my working).

In case you're strapped for time (and who isn't, despite the proliferation of technology-based tools aimed at increasing one's productivity), and not in the market for an AI writing companion right now, skip to the end of my piece and learn about 美国斯坦福大学 doctoral candidate Mina Lee and her software platform CoAuthor, which shows real promise.

CoAuthor is an interface that records, and learns from, writing sessions between humans and language models, specifically Open AI's?GPT-3?(Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3).

Yes, it's an #AI that is as smart as it sounds.

The Future has (almost) Landed.
