Yesterday, an undergraduate from Sri Lanka released KnowledgeGPT[1] which allows you to upload your docs and get answers from ChatGPT. It also uses FAISS so I'm wondering if DocsGPT is somehow related or inspired by the former. It also appears the Github library for DocsGPT was created shortly after the release of KnowledgeGPT. 1: https://github.com/mmz-001/knowledge_gpt

Was it important to say the country of origin?

AI to help me read docs does seem somewhat handy but I feel like if there's already documentation it's really just gonna save a couple of minutes?

I will be much more excited when AI can explain undocumented systems to me. This feels like it can't be far away, and it will be a game changer.

I guess for this to be helpful it is gonna need out-of-band info, but maybe just the git log would be a pretty good start. If you could add a mailing list or chat history of developers I imagine things could get more powerful.

We have plenty of partially documented systems, it's a constant challenge to keep it up to date. I wonder if this could be brought more in-line with production by merging documents with support request logs and even code ?

This is really the quality of projects we're upvoting? This is a python script that calls another API.

facebook was just a php script to display some pictures

not even pictures until 2007 or 2008

You could probably ask ChatGPT how to get started with GPT, but I think a lot of people are building apps taking advantage of GPT's Fine Tuning ability. https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning

If I take advantage of this for allowing my customers to ask questions about our product documentation, how do I limit questions to questions about my product documentation? I don't want to be paying Open OPI for questions unrelated to my product.

I'm going to coin the cyber-security finding "Bill exhaustion via open ML prompts".. wonder how long till it's in the Owasp top X

Man, imagine If you can run it locally and let it parse all of your documents, so you can ask it questions like when does my passport expires, or what is my Wife's ID number and so on.

I've already built this and you can use this as a guide, being PII we just need to swap openai for a model on huggingface.co, this let's you do the question answering part run locally.

So just so I understand- this is all based on taking input from the user, injecting it in a template prompt that instructs chatgpt to answer the question based on providing it all the source material? What happened to building your own models to run offline?

What happened to inventing wheels?

That's like complaining that a musician doesn't build their own piano. Or actually, it's like asking why they don't build their own piano factory. No sole developer has the skills or resources to build something like GPT. Even if it was open source no user would be able to run it locally anyway.

No, you completely miss the point. It's like complaining that a musician cannot practice their instrument without software that requires you to be always-online. > Even if it was open source no user would be able to run it locally anyway. You are just stating this, it does not make it true. Several of us are running GPT-3 workloads locally.

> Several of us are running GPT-3 workloads locally.

Unless you work for OpenAI (and your “local” machine somehow has 1TB+ of VRAM, equivalent to roughly 25 A100s), this cannot possibly be true…

Very strange counterpoint that makes no sense unless you're just arguing against cloud software in general, which was clearly not the point the parent made.

> Several of us are running GPT-3 workloads locally.

Several people out of 8 billion is the same as no-one. The point made was that anyone should be able to run this document assistant on their local machine.
