Speaking as a human, very grateful! (avoiding the apocalyptic <--> utopian hype found elsewhere)
"Then, I’d ask GPT-4 Turbo to generate an “easier” version of each of these texts (or possibly a few easier versions); I might also try the opposite direction too (e.g., create a less accessible version)."
The easier-to-less accessible spectrum is very interesting! I'm interested to see what develops. This is especially pertinent to even the simplest of 'customer service' forms and transactions; owner's manuals; etc.
I don't need to work with GAI, but I amuse myself sometimes by asking GPT4 to rewrite some staid text in the style of a decidely non-staid author -- wonderful results! Here's its title and opening paragraphs of the US Constitution preamble as if written by noir author Raymond Chandler; it takes an unhelpful paradoxical turn, but nails Chandler's tone --
"The Big Preamble
You know, pal, it was a dark and stormy night when they put pen to paper and wrote down the rules. The kind of rules that make a man sit up straight and take notice, like a dame walking into a smoke-filled room with legs that go all the way up to the Bill of Rights.
We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union, decided to lay it all out on the table. We weren't playing games, see? We were serious as a heart attack, and twice as deadly.
We figured we needed some ground rules, like a private eye needs a stiff drink after a long day of tailing suspects. So we said, "Listen up, folks. We're gonna establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and provide for the common defense. And if anyone tries to mess with us, they'll be swimming with the fishes. ..."
Good luck with this larger study! Looking forward to your progress notes and other posts...
