Ask HN: Is there any AI specialised in asking questions?

4 points by ovspianist ↗ HN
Instead of answering questions, I would love to find an AI for asking follow up questions.

My thinking is writing articles would be easier if there’s someone asking thought provoking questions along the way.

GPT-3 can do it! Paste a passage into OpenAI’s playground and just ask text-davinci-003 to come up with 3-5 questions (it helps to specify).

For an article longer than the token window allows, you could use a script to do the same as above, chunk by chunk, but after the first completion, ask GPT-3 to refine the original list of questions.

I think you only need a proper prompt so gpt3 could achieve that.
I had a similar thought the other day.

Isn't this what OpenAI are doing with ChatGPT tho? They're basically getting tons of genuine follow-up questions from users, which they could then use to train the model to be more conversant
