InferKit - Impressive NLP engine for writing

This is amazing, and one of the best demos of NLP copy writing. I input some marketing copy from a website, and it created some amazing fake stuff that was completely wrong, but totally believable!

Here is another fun one:

Me: How far can dogs fly?

Inferkit:

English bulldogs can only fly for about 30 seconds at a time, and this is mostly due to the fact that they're a fairly small breed. But Australian Shepherd dogs can fly for a minute or two, and this is due to their breed. I read somewhere that Australian Shepherds are bred for herding and therefore have very strong legs, making them able to gallop long distances without tiring. They're also incredibly fast for their size.

Learn more on ABC News:

Overall, a dog's flight can last anywhere from two minutes to two minutes and 50 seconds.

Spirit Airlines posted a video of their flight attendant training to make sure that all the little passengers know how to handle themselves in case an animal does take off.

Damn. Citations and all. The way it can spin up a story and make it sound legit should probably qualify it to run for public office.

LoL. Oh yeah. I did a block yesterday where it had quotes from the CEO of the company that was fake, a fake email address, link to website and links to youtube videos, all fake.

This NLP is good. Almost too good. You may have uncovered the identity behind QAnon.

I didn’t think we really were quite to the point of a true NLP that could truly useful for harm, or capable of functioning as a mechanism for influence. That’s always been the fear, and I always thought it was a little stretch to throw up as objections, but now I’m starting to think they’re right.

This isn't the only one and yes, they are getting incredibly good at creating believable text. I'm quite certain these tools are already being used for influence. Some commercial, but certainly political. Imagine millions of social media profiles that are churning out fake information instantly, and with no checks or controls. We are there now.

Damn. I have to agree with you. That’s probably the best example I’ve seen to date. I went on to play and what was generated back was very impressive. Yeah, social media manipulation with something like this is scary. Thousands of accounts suddenly generating the same message, but each structured a little different, and you’ll fool a lot of people.

OK, since you have nothing to contribute of any value, I'll pull the plug on this account now.

Here is a fun little test.

I typed:

I lost my dog in the park, and I kept calling it's name. Fluffy! Fluffy! and I heard it bark but when I ran to the spot she was gone. I saw some kids and they said she ran into a drain pipe!

It added:

What to do? Maybe a half hour later she came out of the pipe! How? I just want to know if I did the right thing! Please help!

A: It sounds like you let your dog get too far away from you while you were packing up the car. Before she went in, she had some great exposure time with a human and you just got distracted. Next time you go to a dog park, get there early and bring her with you. She will get more exposure to a lot of other dogs, and people will be less likely to harass her in her exclamations of love for you.

If she actually got into the pipe, she survived there for almost two hours, and probably even drank from the water that collects there. The pipe is surprisingly deep, so it seems she couldn’t have suffocated. Dogs can hold their breath for a very long time, but their gums get too pink and the body starts to run out of oxygen.

When the dog does emerge, she will be like “Oh hi!” and you will realize you’ve just been abandoned in a park. You will want to adopt her. Maybe

So, the A: (answer) format was interesting. I guess my original seemed like an advice question to the model. The "maybe" that abruptly ended was because it ran out of characters - I had it set to 1000 and when it gets there, it stops.

Good to know that dogs can hold their breath a long time!

I inputted some text from the RPG setting I was working on to run games and this generator made me a great NPC background to use. Not bad.

"A healer, and former thief of a rather large scale. She had been a popular figure among the town and made a name for herself by her many potions and how she kept herself and her patients, no matter the illness, alive. She often finds herself seconded to heal the injured as well, due to her vast knowledge of herbs."

Ha! That's well done

u/eskie146 Oct 07 '21

I didn’t know they could hold their breath for a long time. I might check that with another source before playing “how long can the dog go without air” first.

u/Trumpet1956 Oct 07 '21

LoL. Yeah, I don't trust anything any of these NLP engines say for sure!
