With some inspiration from a Roald Dahl’s story I designed an AI powered typewriter. How does it work? The device has a Python coded text editor similar to any other text editor but with an option to insert bursts of ChatGPT text considering previous material and based on specific styles (dry, surrealist and child oriented)
Parts
A Raspberry Pi 2 with USB WiFi dongle (Raspberry Pi 4 is better and you don't need the USB dongle)
A small USB keyboard
5" DFRobot Touchscreen DSI screen (great screen, BTW. One ribbon and no libraries to install at all)
A custom made 3d printed enclosure
OpenAI API and ChatGPT prompt
Existing text is being sent to OpenAI API as part of a prompt that also considers a selected style between: a dry Hemingway, a poetic and surrealist prose or a simple childish tone. Temperature setting is also modified according to the style. Low temperature is used for focused and conservative text generation and values closer to 1 for more creative and unexpected texts.
Final notes
This was a fun project not complicated to make at all since there wasnt circuits involved or a challenging coding. Being a fiction writer myself, results of using the Grammatizator with ChatGPT bursts for a quick fiction are unexpected and interesting.

mathematical terms problems that contain one, and only one, correct answer”

Final notes
This is a fun project not so complicated to make since there wasn't circuits involved or a challenging coding. DFRobot screen is connected with just one ribbon and there are no complicated libraries or configurations to change.
From coding point of view, knowing how to use the openAI API from Raspberry Pi/Python will unlock a world of possibilities
