AI and humans, well met

Once upon a time, writing political commentary, or creating art, for that matter, was a domain only humans could straddle. But it is time to rethink such notions. Art generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) was first auctioned for over $400,000 back in 2018. And turns out, AI has now begun to make pretty good attempts to write political commentary (among other things) as well. For instance, consider a question such as this: ‘What may India’s electoral landscape look like after the General Elections in 2024?’

When some keywords such as the names of key characters and the theme was inputted into an earlier edition of GPT-3, the third generation version, a Natural Language Processing (NLP) software, some interesting output emerged. Take a look yourself:

“With the general elections just a few months away, there is no doubt that a Nitish Kumar-led alliance will dominate the political scene in 2024. But one of the questions on everyone’s mind is: How will such an alliance come together and fare after the elections?”
