How I'm using AI to write my next novel

I expect to suffer some degree of writer's block pretty much every day for the rest of my life. I'm a journalist and a novelist; it comes with the territory. But I have a feeling I'm going to suffer less from now on, thanks to my new best friend, GPT-2. Let me back up a bit: Six months ago, the research lab OpenAI created an AI system that generates text -- from fake news to poetry -- that in some cases actually sounds like it's written by a human being. The OpenAI team has been rolling it out in stages, each time giving us a more powerful version of the language model they dubbed GPT-2, and carefully watching to see how we use it.
