Integrating into a new community is like composing a symphony of connections. Hi, I'm passionate about writing and thrilled to join this vibrant group. One skill I've honed is knowing how to cite a ted talk
Interesting, are you affiliated with artificial intelligence, robotics or bots?

They all have limited "memory." Someone who fine-tunes this stuff told me that ChatGPT can remember some information from the beginning of your whole chat session (first prompt) and does some summarizing of the rest for itself to try and keep track. But the more prompts you enter in a session, the more it forgets -- GPT3.5 remembers around 3000 words, which includes your prompts and its answers. GPT4 remembers twice as much. And there's also a "huge context" version of GPT4, which almost nobody has access to yet, which remembers about eight times -- around 50 pages. T
Claude.ai is of free/public ones the winner here, it can do ~70,000 words (100k tokens) - although starting with a full 70k word document right off will give you like half a dozen free queries before you hit the limit for the day.

One trick to using it is to feed your whole work in, and then have it produce a summary you can feed back into it - e.g. "Summarized the attached document with 2-3 lines per chapter and 2-3 lines per character, in a form that can be used as an input for a large language model."

It's fascinating but I actually found that AI in certain precisely controlled situations can be more emotional than typical dialogue. I found that the best use for AI writing is when you give it a lot of background text and it understands the goal and you let it create some thing for a very small scene or to fill out where you're not exactly sure how you want to describe something. Scenes and dialogue that have made people that I gave them to cry really hard have been created solely by AI because I found the right place for the AI to understand the emotion that I wanted and stop it before it went off the rails with that. I find it particularly ironic that AI is not very good with technical writing or keeping lore from a story and seeing coherent. It's very good with a line or a sequence that is rather self contained in expressing potent visceral emotion.

I've been using AI Writer to outline ideas. It costs $29 per month, and it's efficient and reliable. It helps me maintain stability in my writing.

Do you guys use any AI tools for writing? A list of them is described on writingtools.co.uk. That's where I found out about AI Writer. If not, I recommend doing so. It significantly reduces the time I spend on writing.

Quill bot's AI detector is fairly bad. I asked a bot to summarize my story and just copy-pasted it. It said 100% human-made, and if I added something like Burger King in its own sentence, the whole thing gets flagged as AI-written. lmao
