Making Sassbook AI Writer even more flexible with multiple alternative generations

Making Sassbook AI Writer even more powerful with multiple alternative generations

[Update: Starting April 19, 2021, our commercial plans support up to six generations at a time!]

One feedback we have heard time and again from our users is regarding the generation of alternatives. Of course, you could just hit the Complete or Continue button to generate a new snippet, nothing could be simpler.

However, it was not as clean an effective as some users expected it to be.

Imagine you hit the Complete button to generate the completion for the current prompt. Now, if you didn’t fancy that one and wanted to generate another, you would have to first locate it in the generated text and carefully delete it. It’s no big deal, but a chore.

The scenario with Continue is much the same, but slightly worse. If you hit the continue button twice in a row, the AI generated text builds upon the former one. The prompt completion always finishes off the supplied prompt and does not depend on the article generated so far.

We thought of different ways to mitigate this and stay true to our promise of radically faster ways to to create good quality, unique text with AI and make it the best AI Writer ever.

Turns out that we can kill a few birds with one simple, useful addition to the user interface and make things even more powerful and versatile!

So, instead of generating one completion for each click, the AI now generates two possible completions! The first one is selected by default and added to the article generated by AI so far.

So for the prompt from https://blog.sassbook.com/sassbook-text-writing-ai-composes-an-article-on-dieting/, shown below:

Diet prompt for AI Writer completion — Sample prompt for Sassbook AI Writer

the text writing AI generated this:

AI Writer generated completions — The two snippets generated by Sassbook AI Writer for a single click.

As you can see, the Complete button press has generated two possible completions and the first one is automatically added to the AI generated article. You can select the other one by clicking on the text which replaces the text in the article automagically!

You no longer have to clear the generation manually, click Complete and wait for a second alternative completion.

What if you didn’t like either one? It’s as easy as clicking the undo-like (Clear Selection) button on the right of candidate completions which clears the selection and removes the text from the article. Great!

The same scenario applies for the use of Continue button as well, making automatic text generation using the Sassbook AI Writer much more powerful than it used to be.

Does generating two completions take double the time? No, perhaps a trifle longer.

There is just one caveat though – if you edit the article text manually, it is considered frozen and no longer automatically replaced by selections or Clear Selection button.

Try it out and see the difference this makes to your Sassbook AI content generator workflow.

As usual, I’ll leave you with this tip/reminder: The AI generated text gets better as you build up the article, so spend a little more time in the beginning. It will get significantly better as you generate more.

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!

Sassbook Writer AI Completes a Writing Prompt

Today’s post, which is part of a daily series exploring the Artificial Intelligence-aided text generation capabilities of Sassbook AI Writer (or Text Writing AI). In this case, we could call it the Sassbook AI Story Writer that helps you write stories automatically!

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 AI Text Generator or AI Writer. This time around, we supply a writing prompt from Reddit and build a story out of it, longer than we usually do. Here goes the prompt:

There it was, finally. Our island. Our very own island. It looked beautiful above the water of fog, but there was still one question to be answered. Why had they sold it to us for five dollars?

Sassbook AI generated:

There it was, finally. Our island. Our very own island. It looked beautiful above the water of fog, but there was still one question to be answered. Why had they sold it to us for five dollars? I turned and faced my companion. He seemed a little surprised at seeing me so suddenly alert. But he did not seem surprised. His eyes were fixed on mine, as if in search of something that might help him solve the puzzle.

Cool! Looks like a good start and Sassbook as picked up the essence of the prompt. Let us continue automagically by hitting the Continue button.

“I don’t know,” he said finally, “but I think we can all agree that we’ll be getting out of here before we spend another day here.” I was about to say something, when his face broke into an expression of utter despair.

Continue further and see where this leads us.

“You can’t leave here,” he said. “It’s too dangerous. The people are crazy. They won’t let you leave. And besides, it’s just a matter of time before they find out where you are. That’s the way it works. I had just been trying to convince him that the worst thing that could happen to him was to be discovered, that he’d have no chance at all, but now he looked so utterly hopeless and helpless that I couldn’t even bring myself to argue.

He didn’t seem like a man who would ever get out. And if there were any way out, it wasn’t going to be through the door. It had been years since I’d seen him so distraught, and now this was just one more thing he’d done to make me feel bad for him. But then again, maybe it wasn’t my fault. Maybe the whole world would end if only I could get rid of these damn things. And besides, what did they have to do with anything? He looked at me, a little bit like a dog who has lost its master, then turned back toward the door. As soon as it opened, he slammed it, locked it, and bolted it. Then he walked over to me with both hands outstretched. “I’m sorry,” he whispered. I could hear the muffled sound of his voice. It was like something was being torn from him. But when he spoke again, I knew it was a question. Did he really believe that he could get out? Had he given up hope? He would have to take it as a kind of final answer to all the others he’d told me about. We were going through. I “We’ve got to get out. If we’re going in there, the bank’s going down. The police are going after us. It’s the only way we know how.” “You think you have some idea what you’re talking about?” I asked. “I’m not sure how much more information you’d need than that.” His voice dropped almost to a whisper. “But I’m telling you, it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s been so long since I’ve had anything good happen in my life, and now this is it.

The above block was generated by a few continuations, just to see how long Sassbook AI Writer could stay with the plot. Looks like it is doing okay, but seems to be rambling around the same idea. Time to supply a new prompt and introduce a new scenario:

Suddenly, there were noises behind us. It was people stomping out dry leaves, but at that moment it sounded so eerie and ominous.

Suddenly, there were noises behind us. It was people stomping out dry leaves, but at that moment it sounded so eerie and ominous. We both stopped dead in our tracks. The sound came from right outside the door, not even ten feet away.

There was no one there. Just silence. Then footsteps started coming down the hallway. They got closer every second. My heart was pounding in my chest, and it was in no way natural to feel so afraid of the unknown. But somehow I managed to keep from running. After a while, I decided that my only hope for escape lay in running away with him. So I took off running, not knowing where or how fast I’d go. When I got outside, I saw that he hadn’t gone far.

Once again, the emotion in the supplied prompt was picked up by the Sassbook text writing AI correctly, but as we continue further it runs out of ideas. This highlights the importance of human creativity in forming plots and telling a story, but how Sassbook helps in narrating it by generating appropriate continuations.

We could go ahead and compose a lengthy story quite easily just like the above. We only used continuations, two prompts and no edits save for the omission of a misplaced link in the generated text. The intent was to show that large quantities of text could be generated rapidly and suitable ones selected by the author.

That’s it for a few of minutes of “work” to generate about 800+ words of text with just continuations and a couple of deletions. No other edits at all, though some edits could improve the quality of prose in a couple of places.

Devote 10-15 minutes to write a decent enough story by supplying new prompts consistent with the plot in your mind.

Sassbook AI not only generates text but can provide such inspirations for creative writing, much more than in other fields where factual content is more desirable. In this case, you could consider Sassbook as a story writing AI application.

Sassbook AI Text Content Creator Writes a Story

Sassbook AI Text Content Generator Writes a Story

Today’s post which is part of a daily series giving exploring the Artificial Intelligence-aided text generation capabilities of Sassbook AI Writer (or Text Writing AI), in particular as a story-writing AI software. Sassbook AI particularly excels as a story writing application. This is because the AI engine has been trained on a large corpus of fictional content, such as classic books.

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 AI Text Generator or AI Writer, the idea is to lead with a prompt and build up AI fictional content from there. After all, a good beginning is key to great prose!

It wasn’t supposed to end like this. The day began like any other, went through my routines calmly and feeling refreshed.

Sassbook AI generated:

It wasn’t supposed to end like this. The day began like any other, went through my routines calmly and feeling refreshed. I was ready for the day.

There was another couple of sentences about a football game that I deleted and decided to continue from the above.

But then it didn’t.

I was at the counter and the checkout line when the bell rang. Someone had checked out of the store. It was the man I used to work with, who has since passed away. He said he would be there in a few minutes.

Now this looks interesting. There is a plot and some characterization is going on. Continue further.

My heart sank. What if this is it? How do you go from working together on your dream job to being alone after only two months? And how can someone so close have such an effect on you?

I called him back immediately. We talked about what happened. He told me that his wife died suddenly last year. She left behind three young children. They had been with her for almost a decade.

Save for the last sentence, things are still reasonably interesting, still. Continue.

As I walked home, I wondered what was going on inside me. What is the point of my existence if I am not going to be happy in this world?

Why do people have such a hard time accepting that they are just as human as everyone else?

Not bad at all, something that could be evolved into a decent story of relationships. Only the initial prompt was used and only one generation skipped (deleted most of it). Rest was all continuations, four of them. How would you develop it further with a new prompt adding to the plot/thread?

That’s it for a couple of minutes of “work” to generate about 250+ words of text with just continuations and a couple of deletions. No other edits at all, though some edits could improve the quality of prose in a couple of places.

Devote 10-15 minutes to write a decent enough story by supplying new prompts consistent with the plot in your mind.

Sassbook AI Writer Generates Text Content on Facial Recognition with Masks On

Sassbook AI Writer Writes About Face Recognition With Masks

Today’s post which is part of a daily series giving exploring the Artificial Intelligence-aided text generation capabilities of Sassbook AI Writer (or Text Writing AI).

The generated text is generally not edited, but some of it may be 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 AI Text Generator or AI Writer, which is actually the title of a published article.

Wearing a mask won’t stop facial recognition anymore: The Corona virus is prompting facial recognition companies to develop solutions for those with partially covered faces.

Sassbook AI generated:

Wearing a mask won’t stop facial recognition anymore: The Corona virus is prompting facial recognition companies to develop solutions for those with partially covered faces. This prompted facial identification companies in developing solutions to those who have partially covered faces , such as in times of a natural disaster, the use of portable devices and other circumstances.

Technology facilitates the identification of persons with partial covering of face. The efforts of the facial identity technology companies have led to the development of solutions in which a person can be recognized even if the face is covered.

The AI engine is rather new to this and needed a few attempts to generate the above snippet. A couple of minor edits were also necessary. Continuing did not produce anything interesting, so we supplied a new prompt with some leads:

What might be some strategies that could be employed to achieve this? Eyes are still visible and generally the face contour remains intact.

What might be some strategies that could be employed to achieve this? Eyes are still visible and generally the face contour remains intact. But what about the face? Can we identify people by their faces, or at least recognize them from a distance? This question has been asked many times, but there was no answer until now. A new study published on June 5, 2020 by researchers from the University of Utopia, shows that it is possible to identify people using only their faces.

Of course, the last sentence is basically nonsense, but the AI is back on track. Remember, facts need to be supplied by the author and quality of information is also dependent on them. Sassbook just provides the wording.

Again, a new prompt was necessary to stay on topic and produce something of substance, though not necessarily factual. So we supplied one using our imagination:

Now, if the Covid situation lingers on, it may only be necessary to identify faces with mask! Perhaps this could be done making use of the face image without mask and overlaying masks on top of it.

Now, if the Covid situation lingers on, it may only be necessary to identify faces with mask! Perhaps this could be done making use of the face image without mask and overlaying masks on top of it.

This would allow people to wear their own masks, but still recognize themselves when they are wearing them. In addition, there might also be some kind of “recognition” that takes place between the mask wearer and the mask.

Well, that is imaginative and something for the author to work with! We will stop here and let your imagination (or domain knowledge) take over.

That’s it for about five minutes of “work” to generate about 300+ words of text with only omissions and repeated completions and continuations and no detailed editing otherwise! However, this was harder than general and common topics due to the specific technology domain. However, usually a domain expert writes such articles, so generated text is still useful as a template for expressing the expertise.

Sassbook Text Writing AI Writes An Article On Dieting Automatically

Sassbook AI Writer on dieting during the lockdown

Continuing to explore AI text writing capabilities of Sassbook AI Writer (or Text Writing AI), today the application attempts a dieting scenario.

The automatically generated text is generally not edited, but some of it may be 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 AI Text Generator or AI Writer:

Being holed up at home these days and with no opportunity to work out, I will need to exercise great control over what I eat.

Sassbook AI Ariter generated:

Being holed up at home these days and with no opportunity to work out, I will need to exercise great control over what I eat.

A good diet for these situations is a combination of low carb, high protein, moderate fat (preferably from grass-fed beef), lots of veggies and fruits.

It took a couple of attempts to get to the above completion, discarding a few that produced Reddit-style snippets.

I would recommend a high fibre diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. It is important to be sure you have adequate calcium and vitamin D to avoid osteoporosis. As with any long term diet , you need to experiment to find what works best for you.

At this point, the generations were not quite on topic, so a new helping prompt was supplied and Completed:

You are physically much less active, so you need to be mindful of the quantity of food consumed as well.

You are physically much less active, so you need to be mindful of the quantity of food consumed as well. This means eating smaller meals throughout the day rather than large meals. It also means not overdoing it.

The best way to do this is by having small portions at mealtimes, but if you’re feeling hungry after dinner, have a small dessert instead.

I have learned that I have to be mindful of what goes into my body. If I’m eating too many carbs, or if my calories are too high, I’ll have some sort of cheat meal that includes something like an apple pie or chocolate chip cookies.

The key here is not to overdo it. You don’t want your body going into starvation mode by overeating in the first place.

Again, not too bad for a couple of minutes of work involving a couple of completions and a handful of continuations. The accuracy of generation needs to be validated by the author because Sassbook typically focuses only on the style. Great content still needs great minds!

I have no idea whether any of the suggestions above are any good, but for someone knowledge, there is plenty to work with.

Sassbook AI Text Generator automatically completes a writing prompt on a Covid-19-like situation

Sassbook AI Writer Completes a Writing Prompt on Epidemics

In today’s post giving glimpses of the AI text generation capabilities of Sassbook AI Writer (or AI Text Generator), the application takes on a automatically completes a writing prompt from Reddit.

The generated text is generally not edited, but some of it may be 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 AI Text Generator or AI Writer:

Mother Earth has been choking for so long, she’s had enough and releases a deadly virus on the world

Sassbook AI generated:

Mother Earth has been choking for so long, she’s had enough and releases a deadly virus on the world that turns all of us into zombies.

She has no control over her attacks, her strength is unlimited, and her ability to feed is limitless.

You are one of her victims, but you have no way of stopping her. You have a few days to prepare for the coming plague and find a way to fight back. If you fail, the Earth will be wiped off the face of the planet.

A couple of continuations were discarded in-between to get the above content.

Story: You wake up in a hospital bed, in an ICU. It is a simple procedure. Your doctor will give you a serum that will kill the virus that is causing all the sickness. It will also make you immune to all attacks from zombies, until the end of time .

An evil force, the Vile, has corrupted the earth and the humans are the only hope for mankind. Set in the present day , this is a game where the survival is the most important thing, and you can play your way through the game.

At this point, a new prompt is supplied and Completed, to bring us back on topic. The new prompt is:

In order to stop the the virus from spreading like wildfire, we must all isolate ourselves from one another, distance ourselves from our loved ones

In order to stop the the virus from spreading like wildfire, we must all isolate ourselves from one another, distance ourselves from our loved ones and friends, and try not to let anyone know about what we’re doing. The more people who do this, the less infected we’ll be. But if everyone does it, then you will be one of the few who will survive the zombies and survive.

You have two days, or just a bit longer, to figure out how to survive, but it won’t be easy. You have two days, or just a bit longer, to figure out how to survive, but it won’t be easy. The only thing you are sure about is, there is no other way. And when you die, you’ll wake up as a zombie with nothing left except your own mind .

The game is based on a true story of how a bunch of angry people got a bit too close to a virus, when it got in their way.

That’s it for a couple of minutes of “work” to generate about 300+ words of text with only deletions and no detailed editing otherwise! Sassbook makes creation of digital content much faster and fun!

Sassbook AI Writer: An essay on religion generated with AI assistance

Sassbook AI Writer Generates Text Content on Religion

This is the first of a daily series of posts giving glimpses of the AI automatic text generation capabilities of Sassbook AI Writer (or AI Text Generator).

The generated text is generally not edited, but some of it may be 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 AI Text Generator or AI Writer:

Here is one thought that I want to elaborate on: Religion is a form of escapism.

Sassbook AI generated:

The more I think about it, the more I understand why the religious have always been a form of escapism. The more I understand the psychology of the religious, the more I understand why they have always been a form of escapism. They’re escapists, for better or worse.

It is an escape from the real world, a way to escape the pain and suffering of the world around us. This is not to say that religion is good or bad, or that it is right or wrong. But it can be a powerful tool in our lives to help us cope with the things that we are going through.

I think that this is why so many people find religion so comforting. They find it comforting to believe that there is something out there that can help them, that they are somehow connected to something bigger than themselves. And they find this comforting because it helps them to feel like they have some control over their own lives, even if they don’t have the power to do anything about it.

In this way, religion can serve as a kind of comfort blanket for us, as we try to deal with our own personal struggles and struggles of others. Religion can also serve to give us a sense of purpose and meaning in life, which is very important to me, and I think it’s something that a lot of people are looking for in their lives. I’m not saying that you have to be religious to find meaning and purpose in your life. If you’re not religious, then you can find that in a variety of ways, but I do think there are some things you need to know about religion that will help you find your own meaning.

At this point the engine is rambling a bit basically saying the same things in different words etc. We continue from the following text discarding the first of the continuations.

It is hard to take yourself seriously when you are practicing religion. So I think religion is a great form of escapism. It’s this idea of having the feeling that you’re going to heaven, that your life is going to be all right. And when you’re in the right place, there is this sense of peace that you can only have when you’re in the right place, that it is all right, and that you are going to heaven. That’s what you want.

The above has been picked from a conversational style of generated text, presumably because of the way the original prompt is phrased. Not quite ideal, but plenty to work with.

I think that’s what’s really important about religion. There’s nothing wrong with religion. But when you have that feeling of peace and security, the whole idea of religion becomes very, very difficult to deal with.

That’s it for a couple of minutes of “work” to generate about 300+ words of text with only deletions and no detailed editing otherwise!
