A sarcasm detector. Boy, that’s useful.

I think he's just a tiny bit skeptical considering how that's like the biggest challenge of NLP. Probably thousands of people tried it already, but even GPT3 doesn't seem to ace sarcasm yet

Oh I am sure it’s a trivial task to solve…

Considering the average reddit user routinely fails to detect sarcasm I think the bots are quite a ways away

Eh, disagree. It's called "artificial intelligence", not "artificial dunning kruger effect"

To be fair, ChatGPT very confidently bullshits about everything, even about 2+2 being equal to 3. But I agree, AI being able to detect sarcasm shouldn't be far away, however, it definitely won't be solved by BERT

That's amusing because his comment is written in a way that is often sarcastic, but the comment is literally true: it absolutely would be useful to have such a bot.

So, was he really being sarcastic? Good luck to you and your bot :P

I mean. It could be if it always has context on every domain area.

Better semantic search can help solve this problem as it allows us to augment that project with an external knowledge base. At Marqo (the startup I work for), we created a demo where GPT provides up-to-date news summarisation through the use of Marqo as a knowledge base:

This could be applied to op's project. You can visit Marqo: https://github.com/marqo-ai/marqo
