Show HN: ChatGPT Bot Trained on Reddit Data
4 by hubraumhugo | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I'm heavily relying on Reddit for my online research, but there are many repetitive questions and recommendations on subreddits, so I trained a GPT bot on over 100k r/BuyItForLife comments and posts to embody the collective knowledge of this Reddit community (and soon many other subreddits). This could supplement Reddit and improve discussion quality. Currently, users often receive repeated answers or links to previous discussions. The tool would offer an initial answer and the option to post to Reddit if necessary. Some posts I answered with the bot: - Request Post: Dishwashers. What’s currently the best dishwasher for home use? - Bot Answer: https://ift.tt/V5e9KBW... - Request Post : Recommendations for hiking shoes? - Bot Answer: https://ift.tt/XlChxBg... ------------ It's far from perfect and comes with limitations: - Outdated information: I'll try to improve this by factoring in recency and some additional product information like prices, specs, etc, that I'm collecting. I also want to add more statistical significance to the results, e.g. by feeding in the amount of product recommendations over time. - Hallucination: As always with these bots, they sometimes make things up. More training data should help here. - Performance: Generating the answers is pretty slow and I'll look into improving this. Take it with a grain of salt and look at it as a fun experiment :) Would love to hear your feedback!
