Playground, or GPT-3, is a predictive language tool. In other words, it features AIs that are trained to complete or respond to whatever you type in the most authentic, “human” way possible. Bots like this have been around for years (remember Cleverbot?) but the Playground gives you a trial run with some of OpenAI’s best tools.
It comes with a few different templates you can use to spark your inspiration. For example, you can pick Chat to have a conversation with the bot, or Q&A to set up a question and answer session with it. But users have had the most fun just asking it to write stories for them, or imagine ideas for new TV shows.
There are other modes that let you input text someone has already written, and have the AI insert new text inside of it, or edit it. You can also change its “temperature” (how logical the response it gives is), its “frequency” (how much it repeats itself), and more.
