Summary
This post details the development of TextFX, a suite of AI tools for creative text generation, in collaboration with Lupe Fiasco. It describes the process of observing his creative techniques, identifying opportunities for AI augmentation, and leveraging large language models (LLMs) like Google's PaLM 2 via the PaLM API. The post highlights the use of few-shot prompting and prompt engineering to codify creative tasks such as generating same-sounding phrases, similes, and acronyms. It also mentions the use of MakerSuite for rapid prototyping and the open-sourcing of the TextFX code. The core technical contribution is the application of few-shot learning and prompt engineering with LLMs to a creative domain.
