  • Well realized execution and UX

    • This is well realized! Enough so that I stuck with it to an ending even on my old Macbook with the balky touchpad. Well done!

Objections

  • Logging of user inputs raises privacy concerns

    From 2 comments

  • Physical board with language model and electromagnets

    From 1 comment
    • It would be pretty cool to have a physical board with a language model in it and a electromagnet under each letter which was energized proportionally to the language models…

Questions

  • Is it stateful?

    From 1 comment
    • This is awesome OP. Is it stateful? I'm assuming so, because of this exchange: Me: "Should I make a pie?" Ouija: "Always" Me: "What kind" Ouija: "Cherry"

  • Does GPT-3 still require a review form before public release?

    From 1 comment
