Algorithm based on human errors will help train AI

Users will be able to have full conversations withBeck and Charlie. Especially for this, Fable Studio trained models based on written and transcribed dialogues with people, and the model also listened to thousands of ordinary people's conversations on the phone. The GPT3 system works inside the model - a language model that continuously teaches the model the correct answers and thematic dialogues.

“During development, we thought about whatEvery person has their own masks when they enter adulthood. Everyone has a professional personality, a family and an image for friends. In this case, the models have only a public self,” the scientists noted.
