Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI Not surprisingly, given his work as a software developer, Codys- seus starts thinking about how AI could help him out. Initially, his focus is on how he might automate replies to the comments his viewers leave him on YouTube. At a certain point, however, he realizes that creating a full-blown chatbot of himself would be even more compelling. It would give his fans an ongoing, in-depth way to interact with him. It might become a source of real insights about what his fans like best about his content and his persona. It could even generate revenues. How possible is it for someone like Codysseus to create their own LLM chatbot now? Here’s what GPT-4 replied when I put the question to it: Reid: Assume that GPT-4 is publicly accessible, afford- able, and scalable, and that it has significantly improved on GPT-3’s capabilities in terms of generalization, coher- ence, and diversity. If all this is true, would a YouTube creator named Codysseus, with a catalog of transcripts from more than a hundred fifteen-minute episodes, plus 20,000+ words of blog archives, plus 2000+ replies to viewer comments, plus 500+ Reddit posts be able to use this data to effectively create a fine-tuned version of GPT-4 that approximates his speech patterns, sensibil- ities and values, sense of humor, guiding interests and aspirations, and generally conveys his personality? GPT-4: Possible answer: Yes, a YouTube creator named Codysseus would likely be able to use this data to effec- tively create a fine-tuned version of GPT-4 that approx- imates his speech patterns, sensibilities and values, sense of humor, guiding interests and aspirations, and generally conveys his personality.
