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

This was my first thought as well. Both the code and technical complexity of this project are unremarkable.

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

They're both just based on langchain embedding and search logic from a built index. No real difference in the two except stylistic code approaches.

You're correct. I've seen examples from Langchain's documentation and a similar but earlier tutorial from another commenter.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Was it important to say the country of origin?

The creator's context seemed like a good addition when I was writing my initial comment. Is it offensive or problematic?

It is not offensive, it is just pointless. I've never see people from USA write "I'm made XYZ App, made from a guy in Minnesota". I'm not from USA. But a lot of people outside USA, see the need to plaster it all over the place (Switzerland? Germany? Sweden?) their country of origin. Is the country an indicator of quality of a product? Is it supposed to convey anything to me?

Hey, I don't agree with "... made with Rust/Go/React/X" slogan too. It is just pointless.

Was it important to ask if it was important to say the country if origin?

Yes, I want to know if that is an indicator of quality. Are AI from Sri-Lanka better than AI from USA? Could you tell me that?

On further review, there are more GitHub projects labeled with https://github.com/topics/text-summarization than "automatic-summarization"; e.g. awesome-text-summarization: https://github.com/icoxfog417/awesome-text-summarization and https://github.com/luopeixiang/awesome-text-summarization , which links to what look like relatively current benchmarks for SOTA performance in text summarization from the gh source repo of https://nlpprogress.com/ : https://github.com/sebastianruder/NLP-progress/blob/master/e...

No, it's probably not an indicator. You probably already know that.

Great, you don't have to agree, nor do you have to comment on it.

Next time, I will ask for your permission.

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.

It wasn't a complaint. I'm just trying to understand. When I was in school, in AI/ML classes we needed to build our own models. So now I'm guessing that you use existing models... I'm trying to gauge how behind the times I am.

In this day and age there is no way a well funded University Lab can build a model that is even a fraction as good as GPT-3. Just look at "Bloom", from BigScience a commendable effort but useless for any real world use case compared to GPT-3. Unfortunately moving forward, if you want to build useful apps that use ML Models, you need to call API's from well funded Industry groups.

It's not about this project. It's a use-case of ChatGPT someone has explored. ChatGPT is new and we all want to learn about how it works in many new use cases.

Btw this project doesn't use ChatGPT, it uses text-davinci-003.

Can you provide more info? I set up a telegram bot and connected it to my OpenAI account with API keys and it works, but as I'm aware ChatGPT is not available as api yet, so I'm guessing the repo I got the telegram bot kinda lied that it's using ChatGPT?
