Books vs. e-Learning: Sassbook AI Writes About Some Fundamental Considerations
Today, we explore a slightly different workflow that can be put to use with the writing AI, Sassbook AI article writer, as part of a daily series exploring writing with Artificial Intelligence.
The generated text is generally not edited, but some of it might have been left out and different continuations attempted to get the final version. We’ll note such manual interventions in between as block quotes, such as this paragraph. We may also include other commentary.
Here is the prompt supplied to Sassbook Writing AI or AI Article Generator. The idea is to generate some content for an essay comparing traditional book-based education and e-Learning.:
In this essay, I intend to air some thoughts on the state of education and educational institutions prevalent today. I hope to reach out to the reader to further contribute to our education system.
Sassbook AI generated:
In this essay, I intend to air some thoughts on the state of education and educational institutions prevalent today. I hope to reach out to the reader to further contribute to our education system.
The AI did not generate a good completion in a couple of attempts, so we decided to Continue to generate the above continuation. Continuing again:
Before I begin, it would be useful to start by explaining why I believe education to be so important. Education is a vital component of a well-functioning society, and it has been and will continue to remain the cornerstone of an educated society.
At this point, we want to introduce the key comparison idea, so a new prompt is supplied:
Before the turn of the millenium, books were still the prominent medium used widely, even after the Internet made its presence felt strongly.
Before the turn of the millenium, books were still the prominent medium used widely, even after the Internet made its presence felt strongly. While not everyone has access to libraries and the ability to access the internet, many can still read and study. Even for those who don’t, the knowledge that can be acquired from books is an important part of a well-rounded education.
Could be better or edited, but let us continue, but by adding a sentence to the end of generated text first. This is a workflow not usually employed with the Complete-Continue combo. The added sentence was:
You can set your own pace while reading from a book and there are no distractions within it.
Hit Continue here.
You can set your own pace while reading from a book and there are no distractions within it. Reading on the Web is different – there are hyperlinks that take you everywhere in one click.
Pretty good. Let us introduce some character by appending our own sentence before continuing:
This is a double-edged sword –
This is a double-edged sword – you can have a slow and leisurely reading experience, or you could be bombarded with many choices at once. While the latter outcome can be rewarding, there is potential for disaster if you are not prepared for the influx of information.
If you stop and think about it, this is brilliant – the bolded, completely AI written completion. The AI seems to have captured the essence and articulated the idea pretty well. Continue.
The Internet has also made it easier for people to share and read about a variety of topics, but with the availability of books as a medium, it is still a very important one.
The Internet brings a wealth of new content, ranging from news and information to entertainment and education, and most of these are available free of charge.
Will stop here to recollect. What is different today is a very active collaboration of the author with AI in shaping the tone of generated content – by editing and adding to the generated text itself, before continuing.
Remember, a prompt is supplied to introduce a new notion while direct manipulation of the generated text and continuing is to fine-tune the current articulation. The combination id powerful and ideally suited to users who are already good writers but looking to improve or add variety to their writing. Therefore, it is not wrong to call the application Sassbook anAI for Writing Improvement!
Apart from the glitch in the first prompt which yielded some useless URLs, Sassbook really shone in this daily task. We are constantly improving the engine, but that is a topic for another blog!
