<br />Presentation by Jerry Xu, Heroes Team <br />Jerry Xu presented the MMC ArcGIS database and the work he and his team have done using <br />ChatGPT. Our database now has close to 200 memorials. ChatGPT, which is content based, has <br />successfully generated initial information on 63 of the 200 memorials. Human review and <br />refinement of the information is needed, however, as ChatGPT will not always include accurate <br />information about a particular monument subject. ChatGPT cannot provide information on <br />lesser-known monument subjects. <br /> <br />Jerry’s team has written a ChatGPT Chat Completions API for the M&M Committee to start a <br />query. There is a modest cost for this ChatGPT Chat Completions API. Currently, using GPT-4 <br />can cost approximately $0.03/750 words. GPT-3.5 Turbo can cost less, but is less powerful. The <br />cost for the initial data on 181 memorials in the MMC ArcGIS database would be approximately <br />$5.00. After explaining in simple terms how the ChatGPT Chat Completions API works, Jerry <br />outlined some steps his team is taking to (1) look for phrases that indicate failure of the search of <br />the monument subject; and (2) generate a special query to ask ChatGPT for a one-word yes or no <br />answer whether ChatGPT was able to find information on the monument subject. All the <br />responses ChatGPT generates for the MMC ArcGIS database are saved in a Google Drive folder <br />his team set up and currently uses for the ChatGPT results on the MMC ArcGIS database. <br /> <br />Jerry asked the M&M Committee members to review the ChatGPT results on the 181 memorials <br />and determine to what degree the information is accurate and useful, as Jerry does not believe his <br />team is qualified for this. The Committee discussed the merits of using ChatGPT results to <br />initiate information for Committee members. Judy Baldasaro emphasized that the ChatGPT- <br />generated text is not intended to be used as-is, but can be a useful beginning or addition to <br />writing text. The Committee decided not to make any formal decision about the use of ChatGPT <br />at this time, but encouraged Jerry and his team to continue their work on the project. <br /> <br />At this point, Linda Dixon announced that the battery on the laptop running the Zoom portion of <br />the meeting would run out at some undetermined time, at which time this meeting of the M&M <br />Committee will be ended. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 5:00pm. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Glen Bassett, member <br /> <br />
