Writing a Medium Article Using AI — Meta Galactica (Paused)
How to write a “business process mapping” article using AI (Meta Galactica)
UPDATE: On November 17, 2022, Meta paused the Galactica demo.
It takes a long time to write a medium article. You spend hours or even days writing an article to create reference material for yourself, so you can refer to the article from time to time. I suppose I am the most frequent reader of my articles.
Since I work in AI field (well, it really does not feel like it since all your supposed AI models can only do one thing well), I look for a supposed magic wand to help me write an article. It should at least help me resolve this “cold start” problem where the biggest obstacle is writing the first draft of an article. It is much easier to improve and polish the article at a later time. I also want to give some weight of authority (like I know what I am writing about) to the article I publish online, which is quite hard.
So, I recently (November 16, 2022) came across a news article where Meta released ‘Galactica’ AI system, which can produce an academic paper based on a simple prompt. So, I decided to try it out.
I went to www.galactica.org and typed I wanted “a medium article on business process mapping” as shown below:
and it produced the following:
The following is a Medium article on business process mapping.
Business process mapping is the act of visually representing a business process or a series of related events. The purpose of business process mapping is to provide a visual representation of the process, allowing for a better understanding of the process and its associated components, such as inputs, outputs, and controls. The information gathered through the mapping process can be used to create or enhance an existing business process model. The information can also be used to determine the process’s value stream, or its sources of waste.
The mapping process can be broken down into several steps:
- The first step is to create a basic map of the process. The basic map shows the process steps, inputs, outputs, and decision points.
- The next step is to identify all the information that needs to be tracked for the process.
- The third step is to determine the sequence of events that will be followed.
- The final step is to determine the data that needs to be captured at each event point.
The information gathered through the mapping process can be used to create or enhance an existing business process model. The information can also be used to determine the process’s value stream, or its sources of waste.
History
The concept of process mapping has been around for thousands of years. It has been used to describe and analyze various processes, including the flow of water in the human body, the flow of money in the economy, and the flow of people in the military.
The first process mapping to be used for business purposes was developed in the 1950s. At the time, the mapping was done using pen and paper.
The first process mapping software was developed in the 1970s. The software was created by the US Department of Defense.
Process mapping tools
There are several types of process mapping tools available. The first type is pen and paper. These types of tools can be used for small processes, but they are not practical for larger processes.
The second type of tool is the flowchart. Flowcharts are similar to process maps in that they are a graphical representation of a process. The main difference between flowcharts and process maps is that flowcharts are primarily used for analysis, while process maps are primarily used for communication.
The third type of tool is a modeling tool. A modeling tool is similar to a flowchart in that it is a graphical representation of a process. The main difference between modeling tools and flowcharts is that modeling tools allow for the creation of detailed models of a process, while flowcharts are typically used to model only the basic structure of a process.
The fourth type of tool is a process mapping tool. A process mapping tool is similar to a modeling tool in that it is a graphical representation of a process. The main difference between process mapping tools and modeling tools is that process mapping tools are typically designed to be used by a wide variety of users, while modeling tools are typically designed to be used by analysts and designers.
Process mapping software
There are several types of process mapping software available. The first type of software is a process mapping tool. These tools are similar to modeling tools, but are typically designed to be used by a wider variety of users.
The second type of software is a process mapping tool that includes workflow functionality. These tools are similar to process mapping tools, but they also allow for the creation of workflows, or automated processes.
The third type of software is a process mapping tool that includes business process management functionality. These tools are similar to process mapping tools, but they also allow for the creation of business process models.
The fourth type of software is a business process management software. These tools are similar to process mapping tools, but they also allow for the creation of business process models.
It did not take me a long time to write this medium article at all, since most of the content is copied and pasted from www.galactica.org. Go try it out! You too can write an academic paper with some weight of authority within 5 minutes or so.
I hope this short article is helpful. If you have any questions, please leave comments and feedback here.
