0Novel approach to AI wages war on writer’s block.
A clever author with some programming skills – or perhaps developer with writing chops – has created an AI to help overcome one of the most common plagues a scribe can face: writer’s block. And she could use your help with the project.
The worst sight a writer can behold is a blinking cursor on a blank page. Our human propensity for art can be stifled by the sickness known as “writer’s block,” but we persevere – certain that once the first line is written the rest will form itself.
Researcher Janelle Shane, in a recent blog post, detailed her efforts to build a neural network capable of creating the first sentence of a novel. She began by feeding her AI the first lines from popular novels in hopes it would break down common factors and be able to provide something workable.
