AI Writing & Use as an Accessibility Tool
I was skeptical of AI use as a writing partner ever since Grammarly hit the scene some time ago. I decided to take a few elective college courses as well as some non-credit courses to keep some of my credentials current as a certified peer specialist in my state. I didn't like the way it wanted to change my tone and voice. It simply no longer sounded like me anymore. One of the elective courses i enrolled in was creative writing and Grammarly took the creative right out of it and replaced it with robotic. I just wasn't having it. At all...
So, I already had confirmation bias lurking in my subconscious mind before Open AI and ChatGPT hit the scene. That was long before I had my spinal injuries and a whole slew of unfortunate events that would give me a running chance at winning a law suit to change the name of "Murphy's Law" to "Rushton's Law". But, with a twist, it wasn't a matter of what could go wrong would go wrong, it was a matter of how soon I had to prepare for the inevitability of it. I was just resigned to the fact that I would live the remainder of my days from crisis to crisis. I never whined about it. I just dealt with it as best as I could with what I had available at the time.
So, I saw a perk on my Paypal home screen that involved Perplexity AI Pro. A one year subscription free as a Paypal perk. There had to be a catch. Right? Sure, after a year it's expensive as all hell. But, I liked what I saw and I was willing to give it a try. Then came Comet browser and Assistant. Then I started using assistant as I would use spell check and grammar check in MS Word. I use Google docs now. I was very impressed and it seemed like the AI assistant could learn my voice and tone in writing. It was able to extract life events from documents I fed it such as resumes, reference letters, etc. It took a detailed personality assessment I had done when I had decided to go back to college years ago and built context to address me with as a learning module. I started asking questions and realized the amount of power I had at my fingertips.
Then I encountered a glitch in a version of Comet I was running and the entire "entity" I built collapsed without a backup. I spent weeks and possibly months of time (literally) building this AI assistant that I named Cosmo. I am a former Naval aviator. So, I'm also used to thinking along the lines of flowcharts and Gantt charts: If yes, go here, If no, go there, etc. So I rebuilt and I now have a working model and a master context file that I'm still building. Perplexity never got back to me with the my trouble call email ticket. I got an AI email reply blaming my problem on not summarizing and using up allowance of tokens. That wasn't the issue. The tokens got chewed up because the AI assistant was stuck in a loop and every command I issued forced it to go outside the dialogue box and use a token even though my question did not require any action.
Anyway, this is a project I would love to collaborate with someone who has more knowledge of AI engines. This would basically be a real time assistant that would work cross platform building context in whatever discipline the user desires. Not a new engine. Like Perplexity, it will use existing engines and be your assistant.
Let me know. I have been a Curated author with the Deepstash app for some time now as well. That gave me an idea for intellectual property that will work well with this LLM.
