Arkose is an open-source, non-profit alternative to commercial GPT-3 text editors.
-
Title your work. The first line of your document should describe what you are writing. More detail is better. For example, "A coming-of-age novel about a woman and her cat" or "A blog post comparing apples to oranges".
-
Give the AI direction. Start by writing as much as you can, then ask for a completion. The AI isn't magic, but it picks up well on what you're trying to do.
-
Outline your work. Structure your work by creating headings that describe each section. Then fill in each section and ask the AI for help when needed.
Arkose talks to OpenAI's GPT-3 language model. The demo site allows for a few free completions, but this project is really meant to be used with your own OpenAI API key. Read how to get an OpenAI API key.
Arkose is cheaper than GPT-3 writing alternatives because you're paying to run the language model directly.
Arkose is more private than GPT-3 writing alternatives because you're not sending your data to some third-party company (note that data is sent to OpenAI because, well, that's the point). Someday when there are great open-source alternatives to GPT-3, you'll be able to roll your own.
Pretty much whatever you want. A language model can help you with things like:
-
Creative writing and games (try writing a story with your friends + GPT - it's surprisingly fun)
-
Brainstorming and ideation
-
Basic research and fact compilation
-
Editing tasks such as summarization, adjusting voice, and proofreading.

GPT-3's DaVinci model is trained on data up to June 2021. It doesn't have knowledge of current events. For more information, read here.
