“AI will replace people who are not very specialized, someone doing unproductive work that can be easily automated.” Samanyu Garg, founder and CEO of WriteSonic, believes that artificial intelligence will impact entry-level jobs, but he knows that those with their unique style or expertise will not be replaced, even though you may still need to proofread content. Humans would be needed for that. AI generates.
Garg, 25, whose startup is behind the AI-based writing tool WriteSonic and ChatSonic, a chatbot that answers questions, argues that AI should instead serve as “a layer of enhancement” to help increase productivity. Will work, get more customers and churn out more content. , “I don’t think people will lose jobs. But menial jobs, things that can be done easily, both in terms of cost efficiency and productivity, if a bot or an AI does it, you have the opportunity to build your skill set and do more.” There is a lot more time to focus on the important things,” Garg told indianexpress.com in an interview.
Launched in 2020, WriteSonic is an AI-powered writing tool that can be used to create any text-based content, including full-length blog posts, press releases, ad copies, and more. Garg claims that there are over 1 million users using RightSonic and that its customers include PR agencies, marketing agencies and even publications, which he did not name.
2023 could be a breakout year for generative AI.
Garg says that most people are using WriteSonic to generate SEO-optimized content for their blog posts. Recently, AI writing tools are increasingly being used to rewrite or annotate content. He explained: “60 percent of WriteSonic users are freelance writers.”
As the reach of AI writing tools like WriteSonic increases, many fear that AI could take over journalism as we know it today. “If you already have something and you need to rewrite it, AI can turn a boring copy into an exciting piece. But AI is not at the stage where you automate it and completely rely on bots. Trust me,” he said, adding that there are times when the AI changes some facts that can reduce the accuracy of a piece. “A human should always be in the loop to fact-check, edit, link, or corroborate any facts and correct any non-factual information.”
For years, analysts and experts have predicted that artificial intelligence will get closer to mimicking human behavior. Last year, OpenAI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence lab, released ChatGPT, a chatbot that gives human-like answers to any question,
The AI chatbot became a global sensation, with millions of people using the chatbot to ask questions, write essays, and create poetry. The maturity at which ChatGPT answers queries as if you were chatting with another person could supersede traditional search engines Google, photo editors like Adobe Photoshop, and voice assistants like Siri and Alexa. OpenAI’s DAL-E, which can generate an image based on simple text prompts, is also getting a lot of attention.
“Even if we integrate [Chatsonic] With Google, we get the top results from Google and can quickly provide very comprehensive and informative answers to any question. But even then, it’s not yet at a stage where it can replace Google,” he explains.
“The main limitation right now is that these AI models are expensive both to train, run and deliver results. With the current limits of the technology, it is not possible to scale it to the level you do with Google Search,” he said .
However, Garg believes that AI chatbots will replace voice-based assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant. “If not now, in the next few months” [AI chatbots] Will definitely replace these assistants until they improve,” he says.
Chatsonic, a text-based artificial intelligence tool that went live last month, has 80,000 users. Users can answer questions ranging from simple factual questions to “Who is the CEO of Tesla?” You can ask questions like “How many cows are there in India?” Like for stupid people. and get clear answers. Both WriteSonic and ChatSonic use a mixture of OpenAI’s Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) models as well as proprietary models.

Garg cautions that although the responses look accurate, AI chatbots can sometimes give incorrect answers. “No major language model is immune to mistakes,” he said.
But amid the popularity of AI-powered tools, some school teachers and university lecturers have expressed concerns that these chatbots could be used to steal exam syllabus and write essays. “Even if it is about some deep topics, it is not possible for these bots to write as deeply as humans would,” Garg said.
“Most bots don’t know about a specific model or a specific piece of research and that’s where AI won’t be able to help you, but it can help improve what you’ve already written And can make it even better.” He continued.
Since these bots are now being used by millions of people, they can also be used to spread misinformation. Garg says that his company has a content moderation system where certain types of topics like political content, hate speech or sexual content are rejected outright. “We first verify your sign and if it contains hate speech or political content, we reject it,” explains Garg.
The success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has generated a lot of interest in generative AI-based startups, including Garg’s. “Venture capitalists are shifting away from cryptocurrency and Web3, and into generative AI,” he says.
