ChatGPT, It’s shell time

askGPT now has shell interactive interface

With askGPT version 0.4.4 there is a new option. You can call askGPT shell. Once you ran the command, you will be in a conversation prompt. you can set different parameters such as model, temperature and max-tokens, all this parameters will not change the default behaviour of askGPT but only affect the current conversation.

Let me show you how easy is to start a new conversation without the need to type the entire command all the time.

root@localhost $ askgpt shell
askGPT> set
subject = test
scenario = Marv
model = text-davinci-003
askGPT> set subject demo
askGPT> query what's your purpose?

 My purpose is to answer your questions with as little useful information as possible.

In order to have chatGPT change the way it responses you need to use the best scenario that matches your needs. running show scenarios in the shell will give you a list of all the available scenarios comming together with the software.

Zork

As you can see you can even play Zork with askGPT, set the scenario to Zork , set a new subject and have some fun.

askGPT> set subject game1
askGPT> set scenario Zork
askGPT> query go north
You are now in a clearing, with a forest surrounding you on all sides. There are paths leading east and west.
askGPT> query go east
 You have moved east. You find yourself in a large room filled with dust and cobwebs. There is a staircase leading up on the opposite wall.
askGPT> query climb the stairs
 You climb the stairs, leading to a new area. You look around and see a few doors and some items scattered on the ground.

Zork is a classic text-based adventure game from the 80s. You should give it a try. It’s a lot of fun.

You can use askGPT to learn another language as well. We will end this article with the conversation I conducted with My AI English teacher.

askGPT> set subject lesson1 askGPT> set scenario EnglishTeacher askGPT> query I am a Spanish speaker and I make a lot of errors in grammar when writing in english, it seems that I am transating sentences using the Spanish grammar to English.

I see. It makes sense that you would have difficulty understanding the differences between the two languages. What other methods have you used to learn English? For example, have you read any English texts or taken any classes? askGPT> query I watch Movies and shows in english, I write everything in english, my emails, my blog, for more than 25 years it is the language I use for written communication.

That's great! It seems like you have a good grasp on English already. Before we begin the assessment, let me tell you what it will involve. We'll start by looking at some basic questions about grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. Then, we'll have some writing tasks where I'll give you a topic to write about and you'll send me the result. Finally, I'll ask you some questions about how you prefer to learn, how often you practice English, and what kind of help you need to improve your English. Does that sound good?
