Show HN: Media Hoarder X ChatGPT

2 points

3 years ago

With all the craze around ChatGPT a good friend brought up an interesting question: how good could it be in recommending movies and could it be integrated in Media Hoarder - the media frontend?

I tried a few queries to ChatGPT:

- "Provide a list of oscar winning movies of 2020 and their IMDB IDs"

- "Provide a list of mind-bending movies and their IMDB IDs"

- "Provide a list of action movies where the protagonist is female and wields a shotgun and their IMDB IDs"

and ChatGPT's answers are quite spot on!

The next task was: How to integrate ChatGPT into Media Hoarder?

Media Hoarder runs on Electron which allows to fully control a browser window. So you can:

- open up a browser window and launch https://chat.openai.com

- ask the user to have ChatGPT also return IMDB IDs

- and continuously poll them from the DOM

All in all, a really nice feature, implemented without much effort.

Of course, as we all know, ChatGPT isn't always correct but very confident. So no answer it provides should be trusted 100%. But I think it's a great start in discovering movies. You can always go deeper with Media Hoarder's metadata and filtering abilities.
