> “AskHN” is a GPT-3 bot I trained on a corpus of over 6.5 million Hacker News comments to represent the collective wisdom of the HN community in a single bot.

First sentence of the first paragraph on OP's page

EDIT: it's a bit misleading, further down they describe what looks like a semantic-search approach

Ah got it. Perhaps they should edit the intro then, it's misleading.

I agree, that language could be very improved. This is not a GPT-like LLM whose training corpus is HN comments, which I found to be an extremely interesting idea. Instead, it looks like it's finds relevant HN threads and tells GPT-3 (the existing model) to summarize them.

To be clear, I think this is still very cool, just misleading.
