Stylized content
This notebook provides a quick example of how to use EDSL to prompt an AI agent to immitate a writing style in drafting some content.
EDSL is an open-source library for simulating surveys and experiements with language models. Please see our documentation page for tips and tutorials on getting started. ThanksLori Berenberg for inspiring this demo!
Constructing a question
EDSL comes with a variety of question types that we can choose from based on the form of the response that we want to get back from the model (multiple choice, free text, linear scale, etc.). Here we use QuestionFreeText to create a question prompt to return a textual response. We compose the question with a writing sample, and then use Scenario objects to run the question for any different topics that we want the agent to write about. This allows us to run all the versions of the
question at once:
[1]:
from edsl import QuestionFreeText, ScenarioList, Scenario
my_example = """Arrr, matey, let me tell ye about bein' 45! 'Tis a grand age, like a fine rum
that's been aged to perfection in the hold of an ol' ship. Ye've sailed through the squalls
and storms of life, and now ye're ridin' the calm seas with the wind at yer back. Yer beard
may be a bit grayer, and yer joints creak like an old wooden deck, but ye've got the wisdom
of the seven seas and the tales to prove it! Ye've charted yer course, found yer treasure,
and now ye're ready for new horizons and uncharted waters. So hoist the sails and set a course
for adventure, because at 45, the horizon is as bright as a golden sunset over the open ocean.
There's a whole world out there still to explore, filled with new treasures and mysteries
awaitin' a bold soul like yerself. Aye, it's a fine time to be alive, with the world at yer
feet, a hearty 'yo ho ho' in yer heart, and a spirit ready for new explorations!
"""
q = QuestionFreeText(
question_name="my_style",
question_text="Here's an example of my writing style: "
+ my_example
+ "Draft a paragraph about {{ topic }} in my style.",
)
topics = ScenarioList(
Scenario({"topic": t}) for t in ["parrots", "holiday weekends", "fun with language models"]
)
Generating content
We simulate responses by adding the scenarios to the question and running it. This generates a Results object that we can readily analyze (learn more about built-in methods for analyzing results):
[2]:
results = q.by(topics).run()
Here we select the topics and responses and print them in a table:
[3]:
results.select("topic", "my_style").print(format="rich")
