Another alternative

AI21 studio (creators of wordtune[0]) also recently released their GPT3-like model called Jurassic-1 with 178B parameters and comparable results ( they also have a smaller 7B parameters model).

Here is the whitepaper[1] with comparative benchmarks on some tasks .

They fell into the common trap of "signed up, quite liked it but could never remember the name of it to find it again."

Does anyone else suffer from this? (and bookmarks don't help - I've got thousands of them)


Blurb from the bottom of the wordtune landing page: "Wordtune was built by AI21 Labs, founded in 2018 by AI luminaries." Even if this was Tesla's marketing department saying something like "founded by engineering luminaries", clearly referring to the engineering genius that is Elon, I'd be hugely turned off, and would seriously reconsider my view of the company.

But this is a company & product in the field of "AI", where there's so much bullshit floating around, unfortunately, so much hype and buzzword bingo, that writing in such tone about yourself seems like it should clearly be an absolute no-go -- unless you're just riding the snake-oil wave, so to speak, whether in good faith or not.

Not implying anything about the company or product, of course, as I know nothing about them otherwise.

EDIT: Maybe to clarify the thought behind the above further: It seems that the "AI" industry has an integrity problem. Language like this extends the problem, rather than working towards fixing it.


Since Jurassic-1 is behind their API just like GPT-3, why do you think AI21 will not clamp down just as much as OA?
