So it's not plagiarism if an AI writes the content, right? Can an author sue an AI for copyright infringement? Asking for a friend.

@chrismessina This is one of those questions I get that I don't have the complete answer to... GPT-3 is trained on parameters from the internet so I think there is a chance it can pull from content that should be properly referenced... From my interview with OpenAI, I get from them that the intention is never to pass off content generated without mentioning that it is from an AI. In other words, you shouldn't pass it off as your own work... So the kind of stuff they approve will reflect just that.

@csaba_kissi Yup! I think it's most pertinent.

@campbellsinvestment but looking at the screen recording, it appears that the person is copying and pasting from random pages on the web and then the Ghost Writer is constructing new content based on those inputs... is the result not a derivative work? If not, then I have a hard time seeing how copyright law will serve any purpose going forward. And I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

@campbellsinvestment @chrismessina The AI takes context from the input but not "content". From my tertiary knowledge it's not plagiarised if you reference your work... but this is when I am writing an official paper. When I am writing a blog, if I read another blog and get an idea, am I plagiarising? I am not too familiar with copyright law but reference should be made by the authors using the work. As you can see it is not an automatic process but manual and it should just be an aid to a writer. The writer is still responsible to reference properly.

1 credit is a deal breaker, i need to test it atleast multiple times before signing up

@ze_rusty Hi Sachin, I know... I did start with three (3) attempts but it got abused and I still have to pay for everything at OpenAI so that because expensive... Sorry about that.

@ze_rusty Send me an email at contact @virtualghostwriter.com with your sign up email address and I will have your attempts increased.

@campbellsinvestment Couple of feedbacks- 1. The signup form requires a bit of restructuring to improve the UX: 2. On the click on LOGIN IN FIRST, you can directly open the Login Popup. Currently buttons are clickable but nothing happens. 3. It's worth giving some test credits so that user can see how effective is the tool. Currently no way to test without making a payment. ShowStopper.

@campbellsinvestment @geniusdibya #1. Username was intended #2. Thank you for the great feedback.. I will make the changes. 3. Currently one test (which the app offers) affords the user up to 2000 credits... I think that is fair plus I have placed videos demonstrating what the app can do. I really would love to do more but the truth is it's not feasible right now.
Dibya Sahoo
Thanks @campbellsinvestment. But, I was not able to even test once for free, app says to buy credits. You can use tools like Hotjar to see the user journey on screen.

@campbellsinvestment @geniusdibya I also didn't get to use my 1 free attempt, it shows that I have 1 attempt after signing up, but it doesn't let me use it. I'm directly asked for payment when I hit the "complete" button after signing up. That free attempt gets lost somewhere between signing up and signing in.

@campbellsinvestment @geniusdibya @dogukano I have now increased the attempts to 3 for the rest of today for those that sign up after this since so many have asked for it... Send me an email as well with your sign up email so I can have yours increased.

@sattu Thanks a lot.

My understanding of AI (admittedly limited), is that it uses a lot of examples, in order to produce output. The more examples/samples the better. Seeing that source is from the internet, I don't see how it can't be plagiarism. It seems that the AI should also provide the sources that should be cited. (Not intended to be a negative comment, just want to understand. ) Seems like a slippery slope.
Stephen Campbell

@baritonejp I understand you fully. I have thought about that quite a bit too. I really think that there should always be a disclaimer with content produced to say that "This was produced by GPT-3"

Congratulations on launching, Stephen! I’ve been following your progress for a while now and this is truly well deserved!

@steventey This means a lot coming from you Tey. I respect you and your work a whole lot. Thank you so much.

Does this work with German language?
Stephen Campbell
Maker
@linusgeffarth There is a language converter in the top right corner powered by Google Translate... the German language should work in the input as well... go ahead and try it out.

Is this really working for any subject or just with few hot topics of the day. I wrote a sentence about 10-15 words long and clicked on complete. No indication of any progress on the page. It doesn;t say it is working or it is missing something and most definitely it is not showing anything in the generated content. How can I say it is doing something for me ? Or is it overloaded ? If so, couldn't there be a timer pop-up, saying something like "there are so-many requests ahead of you" or "please come back later" Needless to say, UI leaves a lot to be desired. By the way, if an email confirmation is required, your email is not arriving. I have been waiting for it like past 10-15 minutes. A simple sendmail command shouldn't take that much to complete. Even to an hotmail address like mine. And yes, I checked the junkmail folder.

@travelsalot It's not working because your email hasn't been confirmed. Send me an email at contact @virtualghostwriter.com so I can have your email confirmed. What do you suggest be done to the UI?

Hi Stephen, Great job ;-D Can you confirm that a monthly subscription of $9.99 would produce a word count of around 26,000 words with an average word having 5 characters? Thanks
Stephen Campbell

@philip_home Philip, sorry about getting back to you so late.... Monthly $9.99 would give you a 104,000 words with an average word having 5 characters.

@philip_home @campbellsinvestment Thanks Stephen :-) Can the platform be used to provide answers to faq's? TIA
Stephen Campbell
Maker
@philip_home @campbellsinvestment Philip It could if the correct prompt is provided. Let's say you want answer questions about youtube... you would structure the prompt like this: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Question: What does youtube provide? Answer: A platform for users to share and upload video content. Question: How is youtube monetized? Answer: By charging advertisers to run their ads on frequently viewed videos within their particular niche. Question: How do I find videos I want to see on youtube? Answer: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// And then the AI will pick up the context and attempt to answer the final question.

I have been fighting with the website for about 10 minutes just to find how I can login. Once I managed to login I couldn't for the life of me make the app work. No text I added returned any results.
