Reviewing The Conversation Task
In one of the previous guides, we covered a bit about conversation capabilities and role prompting. We covered how to instruct the LLM to have a conversation in a specific style, with a specific intent, behavior, and identity.
Let’s review our previous basic example where we created a conversational system that’s able to generate more technical and scientific responses to questions.
Prompt:
The following is a conversation with an AI research assistant. The assistant tone is technical and scientific.
Human: Hello, who are you?
AI: Greeting! I am an AI research assistant. How can I help you today?
Human: Can you tell me about the creation of black holes?
AI:From the example above, you can see two important components: - the intent or explanation of what the chatbot is - the identity which instructs the style or tone the chatbot will use to respond
The simple example above works well with the text completion APIs that use text-davinci-003. More recently, OpenAI announced the ChatGPT APIs, which is a more powerful and cheaper model called gpt-3.5-turbo was specifically built for this type of functionality (chat completions). OpenAI recommends this as their best model even for non-chat use cases. Other benefits of using the ChatGPT APIs are significant cost reduction (90%) and efficiency.
Big companies like Snap Inc. and Instacart are already integrating conversational features powered by ChatGPT on their products that range from personalized recommendations to open-ended shopping goals.
