Our AI Writing Expert Sarah Siskind began Masterclass 108 by reviewing some excellent homework submissions from the previous Masterclass on Lore. The top 3 assignments were submitted by the following community members who won 1000 ALI credits each:

  1. PBnJamz
  2. Sassy
  3. Kinopi0_0 (3,3)

The other 3 community members who won credits for being enthusiastic participants are:

Congratulations to all the Winners!

Iterations:

Iterations are attempts to make your character sound like itself to keep its personality constant. AI essentially learns by imitating our behavior as neural networks train on datasets.

The Iterations lego can be used to determine the literal voice and the figurative voice.

  • Literal Voice includes the age, accent, gender, etc., of your AI character.
  • Figurative Voice includes choosing the right words and mood for your AI character. This also includes your character’s feelings about users, identity, and motivation.

Iterations Lego Demo:

The following shows an example of an iconic character. You’re likely to recognize him — a young, British male known as Ronald Weasley.

(If you are new to the Harry Potter lore, check out the character’s description here.)

Here’s the character-specific description for some of the Legos:

  • Filters: The replacement sentences for the Trigger words for this character are taken from the Lore of Harry Potter. He makes references to the Imperius Curse here.
  • Lore: The wizarding world is a magical version of reality with creatures like centaurs, goblins, elves, and giants. There are potions, spells, and prophecies. Wizards protect muggles against the Death Eaters.

Note: It is always better to use Lore-specific words while writing the description. However, you should always avoid inventing new words as this will make it difficult for the AI Engine to understand your character.

  • Likes: The Chudley Cannons, Ron’s favorite Quidditch team.
  • Habits: Hiya! Fancy a bit of banter?
  • Identity: Ron is a loyal, cheeky, proper mate of Harry Potter. He’s right brave but couldn’t be bothered with dodgy situations. He gets sheepish when snogging his old bird, Hermione.
  • Psyche: Friendly, Cheeky, sheepish, sometimes a bit lazy

With the Iterations Lego, you’ll be able to converse with and train your AI character. You’ll also be able to choose and Save this conversation as a log. These logs can be edited for your AI character to improve and learn for the following interactions. You can update logs via text-to-speech and speech-to-text formats. This essentially helps the AI engine understand your character’s personality and generate similar responses in the future.

Note: The more saved Logs, the easier it will be to create AI characters. However, the quality of your Logs should remain character-specific.

Here are some key observations from the Demo:

  • Sarah tried to sound like her AI character in the first interaction because it mimics how the user talks. However, after updating the saved Log for this conversation, the AI Character sounded more specific to its personality where it did not require the user to mimic its tone.
  • She also asked many open-ended questions for the AI character to showcase its personality.
  • It would take less effort to create existing iconic characters as the Noah’s Ark AI engine is pre-trained on the relevant data.
  • Make your original character’s personality as vivid as possible. An easy way to nail this is to remain empathetic with the character.

Questions from the class:

  1. Can we upload our own datasets on Noah’s Ark AI Engine if we work on original characters?

Answer: No, you cannot upload your own datasets as of now.

2. What is the use of the ‘Reset’ button in the Iterations Lego?

Answer: It will clear all the saved conversations from the Lego. Do not press it unless you want to delete the saved logs.
