Yes, the SaaS does rely on state-of-the-art NLG. I don't know why you think they are far better if we are using them as is. I am not offended at all; just curious where that big difference is.
Who says one can't compete against the best minds? Isn't that the premise of startups and progress?
If you are a fan of "CTRL", you should have liked ours a bit better.
Apps need to simplify and yet provide the desired experience for end users. From your feedback, it seems we need to try way harder.
Thanks!
The reaction you're getting from this system is so negative because it appears to be less good than write with transformer - which implements exactly what I'm describing.
For what its worth, this mostly isn't your fault. NLP is a crapshoot of hype and implementations which disappoint.
Worse, even the best NLP models at the moment are clever hanses. Also, the huggingface "write with transformer" has far more hyperparamaters to play with which make it far far far better than this website.
I'm sorry to have to echo the other comments or come off as overly critical, but this service blows. I see zero reasons why I or anyone else would want to use it - especially since your competing against the very best NLP minds.
Next time, try to use models which might actually be effective. Salesforce released one called "CTRL" which if you had productized might have actually given you what you want (effective controllable text generation)
