5.027 playing with AIs

Thursday 12/28/2023

Ordinarily this would be apartment cleaning day, but owing to the holidays, that will be tomorrow morning instead. I got the Advance Health Care Directive signed, anyway. I had lunch with Kass to talk about a tech problem with a resident’s Mac. I put in an hour sanding the orange peel out of the clearcoat on the 240z.

I spent about 4 hours trying out three of the new AI writing assistants. These are web apps that intend to assist people writing books by providing an AI writing partner. Probably the most polished example of the three I tried would be Sudowrite. I won’t go into detail here, but I spent a lot of time on these and didn’t find any of them congenial.

Here is a link to the 8 minute video of my performance last night. (See the clip in yesterday’s post for an overall view of the setup.) Today several more people came up to congratulate me on this performance. It’s quite embarrassing, really, they say very nice things though.
