It's actually sparked my joy of coding again. I'm a solo consultant by day and I do a lot of technical work obviously so coming home and coding in my free time isn't something I've been super interested in recently. With GPT3 Davinci that changed and I started playing with it in python. That lead me to want to create an app that I've wanted to exist in the world [1] but that meant learning React Native (or similar but I went with RN) and that lead into MongoDB and Firebase and all sorts of other tech I'd heard about but never really played with. Anyway, the app I made is free but location specific to Seattle. My python backend pulls data from a lot of local venues (using BeautifulSoup web scrapers where APIs aren't available) and then uses (now) GPT3.5-turbo to either re-write or in most cases write original descriptions of the events the backend found. ATM its totally free with no ads because its a fun learning project. Now that the framework is in place I've been spending time with prompt engineering to create a more cohesive response across a wide range of inputs. It's been really fun!
