Google's Wordcraft: An AI Writing Tool Powered by LaMDA

Amidst the rapid emergence of new AI writing tools and the consolidation of old ones, Google has been testing its own: Wordcraft. The company brought together a group of professional authors to try out the tool in a project called the Wordcraft Writers Workshop--and the results are impressive. Wordcraft, which went under the radar for half a year, was originally released in March. Based on LaMDA--the non-sentient language model that went viral over a conversation on AI consciousness--Wordcraft is presumably more capable than any GPT-3-based tool out there (that is, practically all tools out there). This innovative workshop was unveiled in this year's AI@ event in which the company shares the latest news on AI research.
