Show HN: Explore careers that you don't know even exist

"Excited to launch CareerGPT.ai on Hacker news today! We're on a mission to help people ..yada...yada"

No, that's ChatGPT's writing, not mine :)

Folks, I was a PhD student once, in a non-home country, and just wished to know what was it like to go and work in the industry, being a programmer, or started a company. Torn apart between choices, I just wished there was a totally unbiased counselor to talk to. I couldn't do that with my supervisor since he always encouraged me to finish the thesis (of course).

Heck, had ChatGPT exist back then, I would have had more infos and made decision easier. So why not launching one, on the back of the collective "intelligence" and "creativity" of large language model.

About building the product: Yes, I call OpenAI's API, but need to do some 'prompt engineering', updating temperature along the conversation.

Just tell me what you think. Thanks.

This is such a thin veneer over chatgpt and it seems to hurt the conversation more than help. Its basically a starting prompt help but the way the ending text Does this sound like something you want to dicuss? gets added every time it makes it super confusing because gpt asks multiple questions per prompt and I am unsure which to respond to. I got stuck in a loop for a while trying to state my career interests were radio broadcasting and voiceovers.

I asked about becoming a rockstar and it said I shouldn't bother because it's too hard. Then I asked about becoming an international arms dealer and it helpfully said I should research the local job market for arms dealer jobs. I mean... it's not wrong...

Once you have your foot in the door...

OP here, thanks for your feedback. In your case it seems to be too aggressive. When it's aggressive, it tries to come to conclusion what courses/blogs/tutes you should learn/follow.

I set temperature like a bell curve with peak temperature (randomness) at question 10th. Maybe I'll tune it down a bit, get it in the mood first.
