Wow to be charitable- you rebranded already existing language models (gpt-2, Bert, xlnet, etc) - and turned it into a SaaS... Though those models seem more effective than this service by a long shot. Worse, even the best NLP models at the moment are clever hanses. Also, the huggingface "write with transformer" has far more hyperparamaters to play with which make it far far far better than this website. I'm sorry to h…

I find that "Clever Hans" is a great metaphor to describe the gulf that exists between current state of the art NLP and human intelligence.

Hug of death? All I get is: > Oops... there was an error generating text > The server encountered an error and could not complete the request. Please try again after some time.

Apologies for that. Fixed it by adding more servers. Thanks for taking a look.

Almost every request looks like it has been improperly scraped from Reddit. A ton of queries I made have responses that look exactly like this:

> [Word for word what I typed in the prompt]

> Flair: Other

> Title: My friend is a girl

> Flair: Discussion

> Title: What are your favorite things about being in high school?

> Flair: Other

> Title: My friend is a girl and she likes me too

> Text: She told her friends about it

I cannot think of a context where including Reddit meta tags makes sense.

I have my doubts about (accusations of) plagiarism being an issue, and even more so w.r.t. copyright. The first usually involves copying of "larger" features, such as storylines. If the model manages to do that, it would actually be quite impressive. The latter would involve wholesale copying of paragraphs, something that I haven't seen happening with any models.

But I'd be careful about the danger of something like this reproducing stereotypes–especially those that might have become less acceptable over the last two decades or so but may linger in training texts older than that.

It isn't far from the owl/wizard example to every banker being "Mr. Rosenberg", for example.

I won't rule it out completely. AI works by training on a large corpus of data, so some of that will be reflected in generated text.

However, the algorithm does not copy stuff verbatim from the corpus, but uses its "learning" (in the Machine Learning" sense.

So, generally one should be safe. Doing a quick check is recommended if you are using substantial portions as is.

Using a proper noun is completely fine though.

Reddit is a source for the corpus, so it is likely that the style matches it. More likely for some topics/styles than others.

Do you feel it somehow affects the quality of generations?

Thanks for the feedback. It'd be great if you can sign up and try it further and help improve the application.

I don't know why I would want to generate a line like "Flair: other" in a blog post. Why would the flair for a Reddit post even be in the corpus? Your app is billed as a writing tool, but this seems like a Reddit title and flair generator.

Thanks in advance for feedback and suggestions for improvement. You can try it out freely.

"Oops... there was an error generating text The server encountered an error and could not complete the request. Please try again after some time."

Apologies for that.

This should be fixed now.
