Hey guys, I've created a really small tool that converts natural language into terminal commands using GPT3. To my chagrin, I seem to have a pathological inability to remember commands so I'm hoping this may help others suffering from such a terrible affliction.

So the "Terms of Service & Privacy" link doesn't work, and apparently it's a paid subscription service but you don't find that out until you've signed up and tried activating an API key?

I'm sure these are just oversights but it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth!

And here's a command that tries to fix up a mistake after you type it. Like this one, it's also named like what you might say afterwards. https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

I was just about to share this. I use this daily and this magnificent tool is really helpful.

This looks like a fun idea. I'm curious, is GPT3 used to generate the commands, or only to parse the input? I'd personally be very wary to use any GPT3 generated command since there's no guarantee that it wouldn't be destructive.

Looks like it just generates the command and copies it to the clipboard, so you can verify it's really what you want before executing it.

This is fascinating.

Is the input to oh-heck the complete GPT-3 prompt. Or is there something else added to it before sending to GPT-3?

Is there any specific training used for this task? Or just off the shelf GPT-3?
