Writesonic is a company that develops artificial intelligence tools for content creation. It was founded by Samanyou Garg in October 2020 and is based in San Francisco. The platform uses GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. [1] [2]
Originally known as Magicflow, Writesonic secured seed funding of $2.5 million from various investors, including Y-Combinator, HOF Capital, and Soma Capital. The company's technology is designed to generate content using AI models. [1] [2]
Following the Academy Award win for the documentary "Navalny," The Grayzone published an article by Lucy Komisar that criticized the film. The article, which included inaccuracies, was identified as having been generated using Writesonic's AI content software. Lucy Komisar stated that her use of information was derived from the platforms "Chatsonic" capabilities, which were advertised to write content based on Google search results. [3] [4] [5]
A chatbot is a software application or web interface that is designed to mimic human conversation through text or voice interactions. Modern chatbots are typically online and use generative artificial intelligence systems that are capable of maintaining a conversation with a user in natural language and simulating the way a human would behave as a conversational partner. Such chatbots often use deep learning and natural language processing, but simpler chatbots have existed for decades.
Anthropic PBC is an American artificial intelligence (AI) startup company, founded by former members of OpenAI. Anthropic has developed a family of large language models named Claude. It is connected to the effective altruism movement.
OpenAI is a U.S. based artificial intelligence (AI) research organization founded in December 2015, researching artificial intelligence with the goal of developing "safe and beneficial" artificial general intelligence, which it defines as "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work". As one of the leading organizations of the AI spring, it has developed several large language models, advanced image generation models, and previously, released open-source models. Its release of ChatGPT has been credited with starting the AI spring.
Artificial intelligence is used in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects for the purpose of developing those projects. Human and bot interaction in Wikimedia projects is routine and iterative.
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is a large language model released by OpenAI in 2020. Like its predecessor, GPT-2, it is a decoder-only transformer model of deep neural network, which supersedes recurrence and convolution-based architectures with a technique known as "attention". This attention mechanism allows the model to selectively focus on segments of input text it predicts to be most relevant. It uses a 2048-tokens-long context, float16 (16-bit) precision, and a hitherto-unprecedented 175 billion parameters, requiring 350GB of storage space as each parameter takes 2 bytes of space, and has demonstrated strong "zero-shot" and "few-shot" learning abilities on many tasks.
LaMDA is a family of conversational large language models developed by Google. Originally developed and introduced as Meena in 2020, the first-generation LaMDA was announced during the 2021 Google I/O keynote, while the second generation was announced the following year. In June 2022, LaMDA gained widespread attention when Google engineer Blake Lemoine made claims that the chatbot had become sentient. The scientific community has largely rejected Lemoine's claims, though it has led to conversations about the efficacy of the Turing test, which measures whether a computer can pass for a human. In February 2023, Google announced Bard, a conversational artificial intelligence chatbot powered by LaMDA, to counter the rise of OpenAI's ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is a chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched on November 30, 2022. Based on a large language model, it enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. Successive prompts and replies, known as prompt engineering, are considered at each conversation stage as a context.
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), a hallucination or artificial hallucination is a response generated by an AI which contains false or misleading information presented as fact.
Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are a type of large language model (LLM) and a prominent framework for generative artificial intelligence. They are artificial neural networks that are used in natural language processing tasks. GPTs are based on the transformer architecture, pre-trained on large data sets of unlabelled text, and able to generate novel human-like content. As of 2023, most LLMs have these characteristics and are sometimes referred to broadly as GPTs.
The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content that is manipulated by algorithmic curation, marginalizing organic human activity. Proponents of the theory believe these bots are created intentionally to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to ultimately manipulate consumers. Furthermore, some proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception, stating: "The U.S. government is engaging in an artificial intelligence powered gaslighting of the entire world population." The date given for this "death" is generally around 2016 or 2017.
Generative artificial intelligence is artificial intelligence capable of generating text, images or other data using generative models, often in response to prompts. Generative AI models learn the patterns and structure of their input training data and then generate new data that has similar characteristics.
The AI boom, or AI spring, is the ongoing period of rapid progress in the field of artificial intelligence. Prominent examples include protein folding prediction led by Google DeepMind and generative AI led by OpenAI.
Auto-GPT is an open-source "AI agent" that, given a goal in natural language, will attempt to achieve it by breaking it into sub-tasks and using the Internet and other tools in an automatic loop. It uses OpenAI's GPT-4 or GPT-3.5 APIs, and is among the first examples of an application using GPT-4 to perform autonomous tasks.
GPTZero is an artificial intelligence detection software developed to identify artificially generated text, such as that produced by large language models.
Inflection AI, Inc. is a technology company which has developed a machine learning and generative artificial intelligence hardware and apps, founded in 2022. The company is structured as a public benefit corporation and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
Since OpenAI's public release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the chatbot and its peers have been at the source of intense discussion within education, with many schools and universities taking hostile stances towards usage of large language models, while others have embraced the use of the tools in assignments. The usage of ChatGPT has inspired many to foresee a potential paradigm shift in education, with oral exams being proposed to assure that it cannot be used in tests.
Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, based on a large language model (LLM). It was developed as an initiative by Elon Musk as a direct response to the rise of OpenAI's ChatGPT which Musk co-founded. The chatbot is advertised as "having a sense of humor" and direct access to Twitter (X). It is currently under beta testing for those with the premium version of X.
Aleph Alpha is an independent German artificial intelligence (AI) startup company in Heidelberg, founded by professionals with experience as employees of Apple, SAP and Deloitte. Aleph Alpha attempts to achieve independence from US companies and comply with European data protection regulations. It develops large language models (LLM), which try to provide transparency of its sources used for the results generated and are intended for enterprises and governmental agencies only. Training of its chatbot has been done in five European languages.
Amazon Q is a chatbot developed by Amazon for enterprise use. Based on both Amazon Titan and GPT generative artificial intelligence, it was announced on November 28, 2023. It is able to help troubleshoot issues in cloud apps or group chats, or summarize documents. As of November 2023, it costs $20 per month. At launch, it was a part of the Amazon Web Services management console.
GigaChat is a chatbot developed by financial services company Sberbank and launched in April 2023. It is positioned as a Russian alternative to ChatGPT.
