edisonsama··on Ask HN: One productivity tool to rule them all
So many tools feels overwhelming but I guess, I am the only one
edisonsama··on Ask HN: One productivity tool to rule them all
Apologies you are right. I just want a productivity tool that can be my entire office suite and work communication tool all in one. I know It doesn't exist but I wish it did.

Thanks! Who is Eliza?
edisonsama··on Light Chat(Free Alternative to ChatGPT)
Hi, HN!

For several months now I have been bothered by ChatGPT. It lacks a personality, it lacks good memory, I don't want to pay for it and I think that having a personality is not some big technical challenge.

The benefits for me personally is that I am more willing to trust something that knows me and understand how I learn, think and vital information about me that would help optimize a search like pre-existing health conditions to pick out a new health insurance plan.

Thats what I have built at Light Chat. Today it's only an improved (and much simpler UI). Light Chat does have a monetization strategy but Chat will remain free forever.

In the coming days we will improve our AI with a more personal AI that has long-term memory.

Please join the discord if you have any feedback or want a better Chat experience. (https://discord.gg/7PYqfPHMqF)

edisonsama··on How did you fine tune your chatbot?
Hey,

I heard that lightchat.co is working on a highly personal chatbot that can also be used for work. So you could probably use that when it becomes available if you are willing to wait.

It's live but it's not personalized yet

edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
Yeah I think you are right in this regard. Regarding the miscommunication. However I think it should be a mixture of tailoring content to your needs and having some positive expression that feels more human and intimate without a romantic component. Like a trusted colleague.
edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
This is not an answer. What do you define as personality? I don't have any experiences in my daily life that mirror even the positives of ChatGPT.

I.e a person who has a wide depth and breadth of knowledge that can be called upon at a whim.

When I refer to personality I mean that ChatGPT makes my life worse since it doesn't understand me or my experiences. I want real-time fine-tuning where ChatGPT actually evolves to fit me personally and I want this for every user

edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
This is not what I want. I want prompt engineering to go away. Just fine-tune on me personally
edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
Ok so a mixture of useful and useless information merged into an overwhelming output?

> It doesn't always work.

This is the bummer. I want consistency and I don't care about it being in the voice of my favorite author. I personally don't have a favorite. I want it to be fine-tuned on me personally so the collaboration is more meaningful

edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
This is the thing. I don't want to deal with prompt engineering. I want ChatGPT to be fine-tuned to me. My learning style, my unique experiences and what ultimately makes me a human.

That enables me to have a more meaningful way to collaborate. I don't want a version of google that summarizes information into a chat based interface with some "faux-human" responses.

edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
I see what you are saying and that "can" be true. However everyone has diverse learning styles.

Some are more visual and others have learning disabilities. I think that ChatGPT is too uniform and if it was fine-tuned towards you personally that would be the best version

edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
What do you mean when you say "personality" finetunes. I am not referring to a replika like feature. I mean something more like a mixture of heypi.com + smarterchild + chatGPT.
edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
Don't you think this would be more useful than ChatGPT? For example look at SmarterChild from years ago. It felt more genuine
edisonsama··on Why does ChatGPT lack a personality?
Sure I think that makes sense within reason. I also think that many would want one that has more of personality and I am wondering why no one has built this
