Lambda (LaMDA), under Wordcraft, technology giant Google’s special-purpose artificial intelligence project, has now started creating creative literature, including short stories. (He was forced to leave the company after a Google employee revealed that Lambda had begun to develop human-like sentience). Lambda does not write stories by herself but in collaboration with some writers.
Help for story writers
Writing the story itself is still a long way off for Lambda. But be aware of the flip side – Lambda can already be a huge help to story writers and the like. Many authors also say that they are enjoying the help of lambda. So far, 13 authors have tested Lambda, according to Sinnett’s report. An advanced form of Lambda is the Language Model for Dialog Applications. These writers wrote short stories with the help of this.
And other AI writing assistants
Apart from Lambda, other writing helpers are now available. There’s Grammarly, a grammar checker, Jasper, a copywriting tool, and another service, WordTune, among others. But Lambda is several steps ahead of them in literary composition. While other apps focus on grammar, spelling, and word usage, Google’s Wordcraft project, which includes Lambda, focuses on literary writing.
Read the stories here
Various companies are trying to harness the growing potential of artificial intelligence in various fields. One such effort is the development of Lambda, which can also be used as a chatbot. However, the stories written now do not beat the writers. Created by 13 writers in collaboration with its Pair and Magneta teams, Google says it’s a confluence of creativity and technology.

It’s been a while since I wrote my own stories
Writers who have used it say that the time when Woodcraft will write stories on its own is a long way off. Meanwhile, Lambda can already make invaluable contributions to writers. Douglas Ek, a senior researcher at Google, responded that it is possible to change the way people write. At the same time, Lambda is still unable to write and complete a story on its own. That is why writers need help. Likewise, writers can now use lambda to make significant changes to their writing.
Lamda still doesn’t fully understand the way humans use language; But…
As The Washington Post previously reported, Lambda hasn’t completely mastered the way humans use language. At the same time, AI tools that ‘swim’ through data on the Internet in a way that no human can already speak like a human. This is what former Google employee Blake Lemoine says is why Lambda made sense. Following this, Blake was removed from the Google company.
What is Woodcraft’s current excellence?
Writers testify that Lambda often succeeds in writing a sentence and adding humor to it. So Lambda is now a tool for writers to add extra depth to their writing style. However, when tens of thousands of writers start writing stories and novels using Lambda, Google believes that AI can learn the final chemistry of creative work. While writing a sentence, Lamda is now able to predict with great accuracy most of the time what word the writer wants to write next.
Case against Musk again
Employees have filed a class-action lawsuit against Twitter’s new CEO, Elon Musk, for firing employees without giving them enough notice. Musk is trying to lay off at least half of his employees. In a letter to employees, Musk said that if the company wants to move forward successfully, it will need to lay off a number of people.
Companies not to advertise on Twitter
Companies including Volkswagen, Europe’s largest carmaker, have decided not to pay for advertising on Twitter, which Musk acquired. A bunch of companies like General Mills and General Motors have decided to stay away from Twitter.
Musk has misled advertisers
The decision of the advertisers to stay away is a big blow for Twitter. Musk admitted that ad revenue is likely to suffer a sharp decline. According to Musk, the reason for this is the campaign made by some activist groups that Twitter is now a hellish place. He asks what other explanation could be given for the advertisers leaving, even though he has not changed the policy that Twitter has continued to follow. “Twitter strives to be the most respected advertising platform in the world,” he said.
To make money monthly
According to reports, Musk raised the monthly fee to $8 to help fund Twitter’s plummeting revenue. At the same time, it is believed that Twitter’s opponents may be waging a secret war against Musk due to the fear that Musk will lead to massive changes in the social media field.

iPhone sales fall in China
iPhone sales have declined in China, one of Apple’s most important markets after the US. Jefferies reports that iPhone sales in China, the world’s largest smartphone market, are down by a third from last year. According to Bloomberg, even analysts have been surprised by the decline in iPhone sales in China, even with heavy discounts. This is believed to be because people have decided not to spend too much money on smartphones and the like.
