Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Writing in a big way.  Hard to believe?? Read this post to know about AI-assisted writing.   The contents of this entire post, including the title, and article subheadings are built by an AI writing assistant tool Copylime . I have just provided the keywords.  I am simply posting it AS IT IS. So, technically I am not the author of this post. I don't attest to the correctness of the contents generated. This is simply a curiosity post.  From here on the contents are autogenerated: The written word has been with us since the dawn of civilization. In fact, it is one of the defining characteristics of Homo sapiens. But the way we write is changing, thanks to the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). There are now AI applications that can help us to write better, by either suggesting corrections or even writing entire documents for us.

Generating a Wikipedia Article !! (Not retrieving. Generating) Developing a JuPyter Notebook for a topic !!!  Generating a Literature Review Article !!!! (With Complete Structure, Equations, Citations, and References). The best part is it is not only released as a paper but a live demo is also available. ( https://galactica.org/ ) You can play with it yourself by providing various kinds of inputs in plain natural language.  With the Information explosion, Search Engine based retrieval is quickly and increasingly becoming inadequate, particularly in scientific domains. Galactica is proposing a language model-based approach that can store, combine and reason scientific knowledge.  ( https://galactica.org/?max_new_tokens=400&prompt=jupyter+notebook+on+set+operations+demo ) The resea...

The Old Man and the Sea is a classic authored by Ernest Hemingway. It's a Novella with nearly 100 pages.  I haven't read any work by Ernest Hemingway earlier. This novella is very impressive. The life of Ernest Hemingway is even more impressive than the novella, from the short biography provided at the beginning of this book. He was a Cub Reporter - Ambulance Driver on the Italian Front - Journalist - Interested in Bullfighting - Deep sea fishing. Wow :) So he doesn't fit into the stereotype that most of us maintain for writers..  As the title says, it is a story of an old fisherman Santiago in Havana, Cuba. Two other characters from the story are a boy named Manolin and a big Marlin fish that Santiago catches in the deep sea. The story begins with the locals calling him the most unlucky person (Salao) as he wasn't able to catch a single fish in the last 84 days. The boy who was helping the Old man was also stopped by his parents citing his lack of luck.  Determined to ...
