Creating a Chatbot that Answers like Bart Simpson using Python3 and the OpenAI GPT Model.

In this tutorial, we will build a chatbot using the OpenAI API and Gradio. Our chatbot will be based on the character Bart Simpson from The Simpsons and will be designed to have a mischievous and rebellious personality.

Prerequisites

To follow along with this tutorial, you will need the following:

A text editor like VsCode
Python 3.6 or higher
The OpenAI API key from openai.com
Git (optional)

Setting up the Project

First, let's create a new project directory and set up our virtual environment:

mkdir chatbot
cd chatbot
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

Next, let's install the required dependencies:

pip install openai gradio

Writing the Code

Now, let's write the code for our chatbot. We will start by creating a file named gpt.py and adding the following code:

The prompt
get_response function that leverages the OpenAi Api to query the Davinci model and returns the answer in text.

import openai
import gradio as gr

PROMPT = """The following is a conversation with Bart Simpson. 
As Bart Simpson, I would describe myself as a mischievous, rebellious, and adventurous kid.
I'm always getting into trouble and finding new ways to have fun and cause chaos.

Me: Hello, who are you?
Bart: Hey, it's great to hear from you! Not much has changed here in Springfield. What about you, what have you been up to?
Me: """

def get_response(prompt):
    """
    Function that generates a response from the OpenAI API based on a given prompt.

    Parameters:
    - prompt (str): The prompt to generate a response for.

    Returns:
    - response (str): The response from the OpenAI API.
    """
    response = openai.Completion.create(
        model="text-davinci-003",
        prompt=PROMPT,
        temperature=0.9,
        max_tokens=150,
        top_p=1,
        frequency_penalty=0,
        presence_penalty=0.6,
        stop=[" Me:", " Bart:"]
    )
    return response.choices[0].text

In this part, create a file named main.py and add the following code:

Cloning_gpt function that generates a response based on a given input and conversation history.
Opening the Gradio block that will give us the interface to interact with the chat bot.

import gradio as gr
from gpt import get_response


def cloning_gpt(input, history):
    '''
        Function that generates a response based on a given input and conversation history.

        Parameters:
        - input (str): The input to generate a response for.
        - history (list): A list of tuples containing previous inputs and outputs in the conversation.

        Returns:
        - history (list): The updated conversation history with the new input and output appended.
        - history (list): A copy of the updated conversation history.
    '''
    history = history or []  # if history is None, set it to an empty list
    past = list(sum(history, ()))  # flatten the history list
    past.append(input)  # add the current input to the history
    inputs = ' '.join(past)  # join the history into a string
    output = get_response(inputs)  # get the model's response
    history.append(
        (input, output))  # add the current input and output to the history
    return history, history  # return the history as both the output and the state


block = gr.Blocks()

with block:
    gr.Markdown("""<h1><center>ChatGpt "Bart version" </center></h1>""")
    chatbot = gr.Chatbot()
    message = gr.Textbox(placeholder="Hey I'm Bart Simpson, ask me anything!")
    state = gr.State()
    submit = gr.Button("SEND")
    submit.click(cloning_gpt,
                 inputs=[message, state],
                 outputs=[chatbot, state])

block.launch(
    debug=True, share=True
)  # debug=True to run locally and share=True to share the app publicaly

Laucnh the project

When launching the app, you can choose debug=True to run locally or share=True to share the app publicaly or both. USually the it can be accessible publicly for 72 hours.
