Show HN: WhyBot, making GPT-4 question itself

77 点作者 johnqian大约 2 年前
Hi HN — we’re John and Vish! We built WhyBot, a tool to help you deeply explore a question or topic. You ask a question, and WhyBot responds by building an ever-expanding knowledge graph. It does this by recursively generating answers and follow-up questions. You can change its persona to change the flavor of the generations (try toddler mode!).<p>We originally built this for the AngelList Agent Hackathon (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;AqeelMeetsWorld&#x2F;status&#x2F;1650279974405042178?s=20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;AqeelMeetsWorld&#x2F;status&#x2F;16502799744050421...</a>) and got a lot of interest from folks asking to play around with it. So we thought it’d be fun to brush it up and release it as a web app! It’s a work in progress and we plan on adding more features, such as saving, sharing, focusing on one branch and potentially executing code.<p>We hope you enjoy playing around with it and would love to hear any of your feedback or thoughts.

Asking WhyBot, &quot;What is today&#x27;s date?&quot; caused a chain of thought provoking ideas about modern society&#x27;s dependence on technology to tell the time. Cool!

I have not seen a better demonstration on visualizing unlimited&#x2F; open ended reasoning like this.<p>I really love this.<p>I&#x27;m very curious (and I thought about this before which shows the Zeitgeist) if this can change or enhance the general reasoning skills of people.<p>Our generation already google things constantly, so much that an older couple told me once that their kids don&#x27;t ask them stuff but Google it.<p>But the reasoning aspect was missing.<p>Now you can&#x27;t just Google facts but also ask reasoning questions without worries.<p>Ignoring potential miss guidence in these models and hopping for an emerging reasoning truth through wisdom of the masses.<p>Self fulfilling prophecy perhaps?

This is incredibly!<p>I&#x27;ve been benchmarking several LLMs to identify a possible bug in a snippet of code given no context on what is expected from the code. Neither chatgpt, vacuna, open assistant or mpt where able to identify the bug. When I fed the same prompt into this app, the initial reply said there were no bugs, but the first branch immenditly questioned itself with the expected line of thought to identify the bug!<p>I might subscribe to chatgpt just to use this app, great work!<p>I&#x27;d love it if this got open sourced.<p>Here&#x27;s the prompt if you want to test it out:<p>Can you find any bugs in the following snippet?<p>```ts<p>const queuePositions = [<p>1,<p>2,<p>3<p>];<p>const pairs: number[][] = [];<p>for (let i = 0; i &lt; queuePositions.length; i += 2)<p>pairs.push(queuePositions.slice(i, i + 2));<p>```

Interesting, but I&#x27;ve found the questions it asks are all pretty conventional and run-of-the-mill, and I wish it would stay on topic for follow-up questions, rather than veering off on barely related tangents.

I love this, I found that I was mostly curious about one branch and it took time for it to fill out all the other branches before the one I wanted was filled.<p>Is there any way for me to pause all the other branches and have it only go deeper on one of the branches and then maybe restart other branches selectively?

Way more interesting than you&#x27;d think given the simplicity and slick ui. ability to choose branches would be great.

You should tell ChatGPT to translate your question to client language. I tried in Vietnamese but then the next questions and answers is still in English.<p>Pretty awesome idea btw. I would like to highlight a branch for deeper questions. Just to speed things up.

Like I mentioned on my other comment, this is amazing!<p>Are there any plans to integrate this with other LLMs providers like open assistant or hugging faces chat?

This is crazy cool. This would be epic as an extension for text-generation-webui, so that we can run it with local LLMs!

Does it always stop after going 10 layers deep?

I asked it why 1+1 equal 3. It’s beautiful.<p>Please add an export.

Would be cool if you could nix ( delete ) nodes that you don&#x27;t wish to pursue. Very nice execution!

This is great for technical exploration! Are there plans to let users create their own personas?
