My idea is to leverage ChatGPT for "thought aggregation". For example, say there are 10K comments on a particular post or video (or any topic). We usually don't value thoughts from "the masses" very much but there could be important ideas emerging / buried in these comments. ChatGPT LLMs could likely be leveraged to aggregate these comments into themes and summarize them in a meaningful way.
One way to think about this idea is multiple choice surveys are great because they are easy to summarize. Their weakness is they overly constrain responses and the aggregated results may not accurately represent the opinions of the people being polled. The idea is to reverse engineer something like survey from free form comments.
This could be helpful for long Reddit posts on subs where there are product recommendations or reviews. I could see a utility where you summarize key takeaways on Yelp (what are the best dishes at this restaurant?), TripAdvisor (top complaints about this hotel with 800+ reviews), etc. Not sure if that makes sense, I am a marketer not an engineer :) - if you do this, let me know, I would definitely use it
Another one would be to (somehow) filter out fake reviews. I'm not sure how to leverage ChatGPT to do this but this is obviously a major problem.
However, a person could read the 800 reviews and (given enough time) could likely summarize the more important aspects with some accuracy. They may even be able to filter out some of the obviously fake reviews. This information has value but the costs are (currently) too high to obtain. Perhaps LLMs/ChatGPT could improve the equation.
Even on this thread it would great to filter out cynical/nihilist/humorous type comments. Not saying that there is no value in these but certain audiences would like to filter these out depending on mood.
