What is Sudowrite?
Sudowrite is a writing tool that is based on GPT-3 and GPT-4, which are large Transformer models with billions of parameters. These models learn general concepts from their training data and generate text by predicting what comes next, one word at a time. It is not simply copying and pasting sentences from a database but actually generates each word individually. The generated text becomes more unique as you move further away from the starting point.
Sudowrite offers different features to enhance the writing experience. “Describe” helps readers connect with characters and immerse themselves in the story. “Expand” helps with pacing by building out scenes. “Write” is like an advanced autocomplete that analyzes characters, tone, and plot arc to generate the next 300 words in your voice, even providing options.
While Sudowrite is designed for creating original writing, it is possible to force it to plagiarize by pasting in the existing text. However, this goes against the terms of service. Starting with your own work will result in completely original suggestions.
Sudowrite has received positive feedback, with users praising its ability to generate coherent paragraphs and even imitate the writing style of well-known figures. The founders of Sudowrite are Amit Gupta and James Yu, and the platform has received investments from notable individuals in the tech and entertainment industries.
