This is super useful! Have you considered generating docs based on customer support in Slack or Discord conversations?

Ask HN: Where can I find good legal documents?
Whenever I start a new (side) project, getting the website set up with T&C, Privacy Policy, etc. is a pain point.Here are a couple sources I've found:- Common Paper (NDA, TOS, SLA, DPA, CSA, ...)- YC Safe (Fundraising)- Clerky (Fundraising, Employment, ...)Looking for more resources like these.

Yes, obviously! I began a blog post on the issues with Trusted Computing but ended up first writing up on the way Trusted Computing works, since most explanations I could find would bury the underlying motivations behind technical jargon.

I don't think the name "Transformer" is meant in the sense of "transforming between file formats".
My intuition is that LLMs tend to be good at things human brains are good at (e.g. reasoning), and bad at things human brains are bad at (e.g. math, writing pptx binary files from scratch, ...).
Eventually, we might get LLMs that can open PowerPoint and quickly design the whole presentation using a virtual mouse and keyboard but we're not there yet.

This is cool! Are you using one-shot learning under the hood with a user provided example?

- if the only reason you're using v4 over v3.5 is to generate JSON, you can now use this API and downgrade for faster and cheaper API calls.
- malicious user input may break your json (by asking GPT to include comments around the JSON, as another user suggested); this may or may not be an issue (e. g. if one user can influence other users' experience)

I would recommend creating a simplified JSON schema for the slides (say, presentation is an array of slides, each slide has a title, body, optional image, optional diagram, each diagram is one of pie, table, ...
Then use a library to generate the pptx file from the content generated.

I believe functions do count in some way toward the token usage; but it seems to be in a more efficient way than pasting raw JSON schemas into the prompt. Nevertheless, the token usage seems to be far lower than previous alternatives, which is awesome!
