ChatGPT as a writing assistant

We are in the midst of writing a proofreading (and much more) plugin for Discourse:

GitHub

GitHub - discourse/discourse-ai

Contribute to discourse/discourse-ai development by creating an account on GitHub.

One of the modules allows us to quickly proofread a post on Discourse.

I was experimenting a bit today with prompt engineering at:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/SamSaffron/ef63174268ebb95523e28a0f607f90ea

proofreader.rb

require "openai"
require "tempfile"
require "optparse"

API_KEY = ENV["OPEN_AI_API_KEY"]

intensity = 1

OptionParser
  .new do |opts|

This file has been truncated. show original

A concept I had was to have a dial from 1 → 10, that indicates how pedantic and English teacher like the proof reading would be.

Early results are quite interesting. I love that we can use prompt engineering to ensure ChatGPT does not make any egregious mistakes (like editing quotes or messing up markdown)

Nice! @ruby_coder has dome some Discourse plugins in the past, I believe.

Hi @PaulBellow and thanks for the shoutout.

@sam.saffron and his team are top-shelf, big league software developers. I look forward to seeing what Sam and his creative team come up with, integrating generative AI into Discourse.!
