Will Automation Replace Content Writers?

Using a GPT-2 language model, you can use a predictive text automation to basically write posts for you.

WWhat happens when you let an AI text writer write a post for you? The answer is pretty simple. They’ll make a mistake, and you’ll be able to find it. That mistake could come in several forms. A small edit is all you need to get things back on track, and sometimes a complete rewrite is needed if it really doesn’t make sense.

This post is mainly written using Text Synth, with gentle nudging to keep the post going in the right direction. But sometimes it takes you back to a good old fashioned hand-wrote blog post. That’s fine! Keep it going, and post again tomorrow!

Have you ever had the dreaded writers block? I know it has happened to me in the past; it’s fairly common. If you needed a little help to get going, you can use a text completion language model to give you suggestions on how to continue your writing. But don’t use it as a substitute for real-time feedback!

When you use software like this to complete text, sometimes its easy to tell.

Here is how to use Text Synth:

  1. Go to Text Synth.com
  2. Enter a few words or even a paragraph into the text field and press the generate button.
  3. Watch what the output is, then add what you like to your original paragraph and repeat.

In this manner, you are pretty well letting a computer write a post for you, while you have the choice of using the output, or making it write another. It is pretty easy.

This way you still have control over the flow of the post, and still get to tell it to “do something else.”

Try a bit of editing!

At this point you should have a skeleton of a post, now it is time to revise your work. Re-read your post and ask yourself “does this make sense?” Feel free to edit as needed, make it your own.

You will get random topics like:

What if…? Who is that?

When was the last time someone spoke?

In our world of endless distractions, being “wrong” on things can be a bad thing, for us. The more you know about it, the better off you will be in knowing your own thoughts.

and by pressing generate again, we get this output:

Here is your template for what you might write back to the computer, at this point you should be able to understand a lot of what the computer may have seen.

Here are a few things the computer could have seen:

A guy with his laptop outside and has been reading up on philosophy

A girl reading some stuff on philosophy

A woman reading some stuff on philosophy

The story can really go sideways if you let it, but it really helps if you are struggling for ideas moving your story along. At the minimum it is good for a laugh.

If you write a story this way you start to understand the importance of your own thoughts. It will become easy for you and your thoughts to become a part of the story you have created.

Now go back and enjoy this amazing story on your website, or maybe even post it to your forum if you have a forum. Go forth, spread the word. And you may also have the power to change the world!

What do you think? Will A.I.’s be writing all of our content in the future? Or will we always be stuck at the computer?
