conclusion: you could use gpt3 for this, but only if you want all your tags to be kind of meaningless. couple tests under the break.
Prompt: Write a series of organization and discovery tags for a given social media post. Tags can contain multiple words separated by spaces. All tags should begin with a # symbol.
my approach is certainly more involved but i've come away with much better results. my basic methodology was to just give it a set of rules. in theory, all chatgpt would have to do is interpret the content of the post i provided, infer some encyclopedic information about the content of the post, and follow the defined rule set i gave it.
in short, i managed to get it to understand that there should be spaces between words, and that i prefer everything in lowercase. it struggled with both of these, but providing examples seemed to help.
i got it to recognize a couple genres, different artistic mediums, and append release year to the names of different works.
i honestly think this might work? like it would be some effort to finetune, but the effort of tagging posts is my least favorite thing about cohost. not to it's fault, i just don't like doing it.
my attempts at teaching it are below the cut.
