StoryTell AI

This model, developed using Hugging Face’s transformer library, is designed for educational storytelling in computer science. It helps users learn CS concepts through interactive narratives. Users can request stories about specific topics, such as loops, and the model generates informative and engaging content complete with assessments.

Uses

Direct Use

The model is designed to be used directly via an interactive interface where users can ask for stories about specific computer science topics. It's suitable for educational purposes, particularly in learning environments or as a supplementary learning tool.

Downstream Use

While primarily designed for educational storytelling, the model could potentially be adapted for other educational applications or interactive learning tools that require narrative generation.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model is not intended for high-stakes decision-making, nor should it be used as a sole resource for learning computer science. It is not designed to handle topics outside of its training scope, such as non-CS related content.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model might inherit biases from its training data, which was generated using prompts from OpenAI's GPT-3.5-Turbo/4. It may also exhibit limitations in understanding and generating accurate technical content if the input deviates significantly from the data seen during training.

Recommendations

Users should be aware of the potential for inherited biases and should use this model as a supplementary educational tool alongside other resources. Further evaluation and monitoring are recommended to identify and mitigate any emergent biases or inaccuracies.
