Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts

This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3.

It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response.

It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer.

This is excellent! I have only recently begun listening to Huberman Lab and my biggest issue has been that I usually don't have an opportunity to write down most of the suggestions while I'm listening.

I've only done a single search with the tool so far, but it immediately returned the details that I was hoping for, along with context and other relevant mentions of the search terms.

Thank you kindly for making and sharing this.

>> The default mode network and the task networks become de-synchronized in the ADHD brain.

> What are the three parts of the brain that become de-synchronized in the ADHD brain?

>> The default mode network, the task networks, and the dopamine circuits.

From https://youtu.be/hFL6qRIJZ_Y?t=1714:

> An area called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ... the posterior cingulate cortex, and ... the lateral parietal lobe ... these are three brain areas that normally are synchronized in their activities ... that's how it is in a typical person. In a person with ADHD ... these brain areas are not playing well with each other.

I wonder if part of the problem might be the usage of text to speech. Did you consider scraping the transcriptions instead? e.g. with https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api

It uses Whisper for transcripts, which I believe are better than the YouTube generated ones.

My guess is that there are more relevant results from the semantic search than I'm including in the context (to reduce costs) and that exact snippet isn't being given to the answering model as context.
