ChatGPT AI Writing Assistant Is Making Everyone Crazy

I’ve been getting a lot of requests from people asking if I can create a copy of an AI writing assistant like ChatGPT or Jasper. Once they get a taste of the magic of one of these popular AI writing assistants, they have to have their own. Usually, they’re looking for a quick solution to create a customized version that matches their specific company or product. And they want to know if I can whip something up for them ASAP. Like, next month ASAP. It’s nuts!

There are a bunch of companies out there that have developed AI writing assistants. The following are some of the more popular tools:

  • Anyword
  • Grammarly
  • Writesonic
  • QuillBot
  • Jasper
  • CopyAI
  • OpenAI
  • Copysmith
  • Writer

These companies have invested a ton of time and resources into R&D to create their products. It’s no surprise that AI in business is becoming more prevalent, as individuals and companies all over the world are using AI writing assistants to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their writing.

Chatbots and AI Writing Assistants

Let’s start by defining what AI writing assistants are and highlighting the differences between them and chatbots.

A chatbot and an AI writing assistant share some common features. They are both powered by artificial intelligence to assist with written communication. Chatbots are created to chat with people and answer their questions. But AI writing assistants help with writing tasks like fixing grammar, syntax, or style, or even creating whole paragraphs.

An AI writing assistant is like having a personal writing coach that uses artificial intelligence to help you improve your writing skills, generate ideas, and create polished text.

Powered by artificial intelligence, a chatbot is like having a virtual assistant who can chat with you, answer your questions, and assist you with tasks.

Both chatbots and AI writing assistants use cool technology like natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and pre-trained language models to get even better at their jobs.

Challenges of Creating an AI Writing Assistant

Creating an AI writing assistant is no small feat. It requires a ton of work and expertise, as well as a serious investment in R&D. Industry estimates say that it takes an average of $35 million and over 5 years to create an AI writing tool. That’s a hefty price tag, but it’s necessary to create a product that’s reliable and effective.

R&D

When developing an AI writing assistant, there are all sorts of techniques and approaches. Depending on the specific goal and use case, an R&D team might use NLP techniques like tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging, and named entity recognition.

These techniques help break down the written text into smaller units (tokens). Next, identify the root form of words (stemming and lemmatization). Then, identify the part of speech of each word (part-of-speech tagging). Lastly, identify named entities like people and organizations (named entity recognition).

NLP Techniques for Text Analysis and Generation

In addition to ML algorithms and NLP techniques, there are other approaches and technologies that can be used to develop an AI writing assistant. Some AI writing assistants use pre-trained language models like BERT or GPT-3. These have been trained on a massive dataset of written text and can be fine-tuned for specific tasks. Others use rule-based systems, which rely on a set of predefined rules to generate text.

Using Pre-Trained Language Models and Rule-Based Systems

When it comes to developing an AI writing assistant, it’s important for the R&D team to make sure the NLP models and approaches they use align with the customer’s requirements. This might involve using multiple models and approaches to get the desired results.

For example…

Suppose a customer wants an AI writing assistant that can generate text with a specific tone or style. In that case, the R&D team might use NLP models and approaches that are specifically designed to recognize and replicate that tone or style.

On the other hand, if a customer wants an AI writing assistant that can extract specific information from written text, the R&D team might use NLP models and approaches that are designed for information extraction.

Tailoring the AI Writer

Sometimes, it’s necessary to use a combination of different NLP models and approaches to meet customer requirements.

For example…

An AI writing assistant that’s designed to both generate text and extract information might require the use of both generation models and information extraction models.

In the end, it’s important for the R&D team to carefully consider the customer’s requirements when selecting NLP models and approaches for an AI writing assistant. By carefully choosing the right models and approaches, the R&D team can tailor the AI writing assistant to the specific needs of the customer. The result is a customized writing helper that is effective and useful.

PS: I used ChatGPT to help me write this. I know…Crazy!
But….I did have to make quite a few edits.

Need a custom AI Writing Assistant?

Bet we can build it!
