Knowledge, Learning, Community

Here's the summary: "A Google Research team proposes Wordcraft, a text editor with a built-in AI-powered creative writing assistant. Wordcraft uses few-shot learning and the natural affordances of conversation to support a variety of user interactions; and can help with story planning, writing and editing." The full paper (7 page PDF) is on arXiv. This is additional evidence for a long-standing prediction of mine that in the future learning resources will be created on the fly by an AI as needed (this making OER redundant in an important sense, but allowing us an opportunity to redefine OER in important ways). As an aside, as students use such system applications like TurnItIn will become increasingly helpless to detect AI-assisted content. Via Reddit.
