Background
Discourse hosted plans (which this forum is powered by) now support bots powered by LLMs like OpenAI
It supports a number of “personas” designed for different applications, but the one that seems most appropriate would be
- Forum Helper: General purpose AI bot capable of performing various tasks. Can search your current Discourse instance and use that information to build responses
- i.e - What are the top posts for AI?
Questions
Do we want to trial a bot like this for the forum?
Some feedback suggests it can be difficult to locate the correct information. An ChatGPT style bot might improve this.
A downside would be if the ChatBot gave out incorrect information.
What LLM is most appropriate?
OpenAI offer a number of different models at different price points. Given the constrained nature of the requests would a state of the art model be required?
Feedback is welcome.
