#42I had this idea, and you did a good job executing it. Do you use openai under the hood?
Thanks! They're a part of what I'm using yes but I actually have a pluggable AI system because their API had...we'll say reliability issues. So I can diversify more if needed. I've moved some stuff off OpenAI infra already.

#43Okay since this is getting way more attention than I thought. Maybe it ends up just being a toy, but if you want one of your own, sign up or email me at anyeung@protoconstruct.com. It's a no-code solution, and starting takes only a few minutes with a resume/blogpost/autobiography/etc import. Here's a screenshot of the no-code AI profile build tool: https://imgur.com/a/YKQ902P I thought I'd get like, 1 upvote and no c…

#44Problem remains if the model "hallucinates" and makes information up. For example, it says candidate is a Lisp expert and later, turns out not. If even it happens some 10 percent of the time, it'll get a reputation for being unreliable and would lead to "oh, why waste time, I better ask the candidate directly" situations. But other than that, it's a very creative idea. Really. 10 out of 10. EDIT: Idea is great nevert…
The idea of the tool you're using "hallucinating" is quite asinine. It makes me question why anyone is building products using ML systems that can do that. Like, why put a rudder on your plane that very rarely just decides to fly you into the ground?
The LLMs were never designed to be fact checkers, they're text generators, not fact generators.
Additionally you don't need ML to get your computer to show you confidently something that is completely wrong, all it takes is to multiply specific floating point numbers repeatedly, really.

#45Ha this is great! I built something similar to this for myself a few months back at my personal site at https://jakobs.dev/chat

Hahahaha that's great. Yeah I see what you did there.
Originally I had mine in chat form but for various reasons, it seemed like an FAQ format with 'sources' resonated better. I could be wrong, but I think that makes OpenAI's custom GPTs an ill fit for the specific problem of networking.

For the precise reason, I would never put LLMs in my product (if I have one) be it financial (tell me what two products are doing good together in winter seasons near XYZ location) or even user facing (how can I turn off photo sharing so that only I see what I take with my camera) or something similar as trusting LLMs might lead to serious troubles if the output is wrong.
Just dry run through the scenarios and assume LLM's output is wrong even if 10% of the time.

#48The idea of "bot" interfaces like this (as opposed to what's termed "direct manipulation" UI) go back a long time, and are subject to quite a bit of debate in the field of usability. The issues are summed up here pretty well, but it will be interesting to see how long the issues persist as (or if!) AI gets better from now on: https://eagereyes.org/blog/2016/the-personified-user-interfa...
I think as with most things, there is probably a complementary relationship which depends heavily on the context of use. Whether the context in the case of a resume for a hiring manager is any good I'm not really able to say.

#49Resumes are not the issue. Frankly the focus on resume writing is nonsense, and seemingly a grift. What matters in a resume is: Employer name, Your title, brief description of what you did in bullet points. It does NOT need to use the STAR format.
If you're a halfway attractive employer, reducing the number of candidates is the primary problem in recruiting.
Resumes and cover letters are in theory basically a proof of work check to ensure you're interested enough to spend time on the application.

STAR is for interviewing, not resume'ing
