EA Explorer GPT: A New Tool to Explore Effective Altruism

Happy to write my first post on the EA Forum and to share with you the EA Explorer GPT. This tool is made to explore the nuances of effective altruism philosophy and the ecosystem.

While it may NOT be accurate in its inference, it still may be a useful tool to start your research in specific cause areas, papers, or even moral dilemmas.

I believe the development of AI systems and alignment research (EAs in particular) will become more interconnected. This GPT may be one tiny step toward that vision.

In particular, the bot is instructed to:

  • Promote respectful and constructive dialogue. I tried to make it less radical and aware of the complexity of the EA.

  • Be relevant to EA. I asked it to consider papers related to moral uncertainty, QALY, longtermism and make distinctions between existential/​suffering/​catastrophe risks.

  • Browse the Internet. I asked it to browse the web when the most recent information is requested.

Also, I am a part of a small local EA community, where we formed our position on one of the most pressing world problems. Added our position to instructions.

The chatbot is made with the OpenAI GPT feature. Please note that you need a ChatGPT subscription. The data is processed and accessed only by OpenAI (I won’t see your prompts).
