I was hoping it would recognize C. G. Jung's very first dream that he could recall: "When I was three years old, I dreamt I discovered an underground chamber in which a huge phallus, some fifteen feet high, was poised upon a golden throne." Alas, GPT-3 doesn't agree this means I will become a renowned psychiatrist.

the dreamer and the dream are inextricable.

Was trying to think of a good use of GPT3 -- something that generates very convincing text but that can sometimes be wrong in important ways. If only there was an industry that was more about sounding convincing and less about right and wrong...

Personalized astrology?

I mean you guys joke but this is almost certainly a sound business idea if you don’t mind the general moral issues with fortune telling

Completely off topic and sorry for stalking you: but your account has been on radio silence for more than 10 years. Anyway, welcome back! How does nightcap guru work? You just prepend something like "write an interpretation of following dream" to the text and send it to OpenAIs API?

i have a few accounts by accident... it is a coincidence i posted from this one! i'd like to think i did a bit more work than that :). gotta get the prompt just right!

Out of curiosity, how much work was it to figure out what prompt worked best? And what was the process for figuring it out? Do you have different prompts based on the length of the input? I've been wanting to make an app with GPT-3 so any advice would be appreciated

As for the website, I really like the loading gem! And tiny design nit: it could be helpful to add a hover state to the stuff in the bottom nav. I was curious what the bottom left tab is (dream log?) but it just takes me to the sign in page.

a lot of trial and error. need to follow folks discussing prompt design to find out what kinds of things will work. no substitute for trying many examples.

appreciate the design feedback! lots of room for improvement on the overall look and feel for sure. good idea to provide hover states. and yes! it is a dream log!

What's your prefixed prompt? It does not reflect current thinking on dreams being forced replay of avoidant thoughts. I'd try something like:

> Understanding that dreams reflect fears we are trying not to think about and our subconscious is forcing us to rehearse, analyze the following dream.

There is an app my friend uses called Co-Star. It's very popular, and advertises itself as an AI-personalized horoscope app.

i would really love to read any work about the current thinking about dreams, do you have any references you recommend?
