This project started out with the idea of using a fax machine to capture people’s experiences in quarantine. It’s shifted a little bit, so the direction I’m taking it now is to fax people a daily task that is generated by an AI. To generate these tasks, I’m using GPT-2.
So far, I’ve trained a GPT-2 algorithm off of a dataset of 101 sample questions I wrote. So far, I’ve experimented with a number of variables to try to tweak the text generator, but it’s only spitting out questions directly from the source material.
a subsection of the sample questions I wrote.
An example of output from GPT-2. All of these questions are lifted in full from my 101 sample questions.
Where I’m going from here:
I need to continue tweaking the GPT-2 to get new questions output from it. After that, I need to work on automating faxes so that I can send these questions out.
