I'm heavily relying on Reddit for my online research, but there are many repetitive questions and recommendations on subreddits, so I trained a GPT bot on over 100k r/BuyItForLife comments and posts to embody the collective knowledge of this Reddit community (and soon many other subreddits).
Some posts I answered with the bot:
- Request Post: Dishwashers. What’s currently the best dishwasher for home use?
- Bot Answer: https://www.looria.com/bot?q=what%27s+currently+the+best+dis...
- Request Post : Recommendations for hiking shoes?
- Bot Answer: https://www.looria.com/bot?q=Recommendations+for+hiking+shoe...
------------
It's far from perfect and comes with limitations:
- Outdated information: I'll try to improve this by factoring in recency and some additional product information like prices, specs, etc, that I'm collecting. I also want to add more statistical significance to the results, e.g. by feeding in the amount of product recommendations over time.
- Hallucination: As always with these bots, they sometimes make things up. More training data should help here.
- Performance: Generating the answers is pretty slow and I'll look into improving this.
Take it with a grain of salt and look at it as a fun experiment :) Would love to hear your feedback!
