I Want to Develop an AI to Be My Brain and Hands in Writing Then I Have to Peek at the Existing Ones, Right?

Are you tired of spending hours on end trying to write content?

I would say “YES” to this question. It’d be great if you just input your key idea and let AI generate content in your writing style. Even you can’t use it without editing, saving 80 percent of normal time to create your first draft is really blissful. And…that’s my goal.

This article took me 5 hours to finish. It was a lot of time. If AI took care of this and save me 80 percent of it, then I will have 4 extra hours to work. That’s a good investment. Well, before I spending my time on research, are there any tools similar to what I want?

I google it and see a lot of them. By the way, for AI writing assistance, the G2 Grid® tells me that Convesion.aI has the highest performance. So, I will try it out.

“If we do it right, we might be able to evolve a form of work that taps into our uniquely human capabilities and restores our humanity. The ultimate paradox is that this technology may become a powerful catalyst that we need to reclaim our humanity.” - John Hagel

Let’s test Conversion.ai

Conversion.ai uses the oldest marketing framework in the world. Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. What I need to do is filling some information into the textboxes, choose the amount of output and then click generate content.

This is the input I fill in its form.

And this is what I get.

Is it good?

I ask it to generate 10 of them to analyze but according to the first novel written by AI. Its architecture was ingesting 60 million words (360 MB) of raw literature. So, I wonder if this is just spinning words from its database. Thus, before I analyze 10 of them, I tried to sell something that should not be in any database in this world, the chancellor.

My product at this time is Mr. X, the chancellor of Thailand. I describe it, “He is good at being dumb and deligent to borrow money. Your country will be in the great debt that has never been in history. His ability is unquestionable, he solve the flood crisis easily by renaming it as the water waiting to be drained.” Again, I choose an authoritative tone.

As you see, I misspell “diligent” as “deligent” and “he solve” should be “he solved” but I let them be to see its response. Here are the results!

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

Damn it! I can make a joke out of this app! However, it did not understand my intention. I want to kick Mr. X out of Thailand by selling him to another country but AI tried to help him win the votes and stay in Thailand.

Now, do you recognize something in number 3? Yes, AI copied my product’s description and create only a few words on its own. But at least it corrects the wrong words. If we call a struggling to write the writer’s block then it should be an AI’s block in this case.

Okay, let’s make things harder for this AI. This time, I will try to sell the Alien’s sh*t.

“It’s a terrible sh*t which can destroy entire humanity. It’s smell can kill an elephant who breath in only once. The sh*t itself contain the most terrible virus that stronger than corona virus for 100 times. Also, the mutation occurs every time we talk about sh*t’s owner in ill manner. It could become bull sh*t or dinosaur sh*t with a single word.” I wrote in the description.

Again, I still use an authoritative tone.

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

Again, it’s an AI’s block. Number 3 copied my words again and did not correct them. Grammarly points out 4 mistakes.

The number 1 and 2 can not alternate words in Attention and trying to sell Alien’s sh*t for real. While number 3 views it as a threat and trying to sell information, the sentences in Desire and Action also merged into one.

From this output, it seemed AI had gone mad from my input.

Well, I am sorry for that.

AI can be handy only when it has enough data

I have proved that. When AI lacks data, it’s useless and spilling nonsense. Now, let’s come back to those ten that I generated earlier. This is the result.

  1. Two attentions were written in the same sentence while the other two share the same sentence in the first half. Then 70 percent of Attention is not duplicated.
  2. I the same way as (1), The 90 percent of Action is not duplicated.
  3. The 6 out of 10 in Interest, starts the sentence with “Writenow.AI is a revolutionary AI-powered.” The following sentences are great. Let’s clap for it. However, some parts of Interest use the same sentence in Desire. For example, it says “You’ll never have to worry about writer’s block again.”
  4. There is no problem in Desire. One of them even uses slang — “no problemo!” It is really great in this part.

“The coming era of Artificial Intelligence will not be the era of war, but be the era of deep compassion, non-violence, and love.” - Amit Ray, Pioneer of Compassionate AI Movement.

Conclusion

Conversion.ai is the best performance AI for writing assistance suggested by the G2 Grid®. Even It’s not the AI I want to create but it’s not a bad idea to test it out.

From outputs, it generates many great contents when I choose to write what they have tons of data. Without enough data, outputs are terrible. Also, it can’t interpret my intention. If I want to develop my own AI, I should request the intention of the content from users.

The possible way to create writing AI with the writer’s style. I need all of the same writer’s works on the same topic as the database. This is where this project should get started. However, brainstorming to create writing patterns is a possible task too.
