Inspired by your comment, I tried three versions of a moderately long prompt beginning with “Write a five paragraph speech by an American politician at the opening ceremony of a new bridge [sewage treatment plant, seawall along the ocean]. Begin with a self-deprecating joke. Then thank the fine people of the city....” I put the results here:
If you were to put the names of the bridge, city, etc. into the speeches at appropriate places, I don’t think anyone would guess that the speeches were machine-written.
A bright future lies in harnessing these language models and other types of ai in computational public policy. For example, humans can’t easily read and understand these massive bills that are written by our legislature.
All this time developers have been freaking out about ChatGPT taking their jobs when it's really politicians that should be nervous!
