Show HN: Ask Harry Potter any question with GPT-4
https://www.chatwithfiction.com/
I've enjoyed using CharacterAI a lot, and I also use OpenAI's API's for work and personal projects. I wanted to see if I could get the model to behave as believably as CharacterAI counterparts with just a system prompt - and I think it does. Curious if others agree.

Doesn't seem immune to prompt injection.

I expect as much! this simply uses OpenAI with a system prompt

> do you think a female wizard could transform herself into a male wizard?
> Harry > Yes, as far as I know, gender identity doesn't affect a wizard's ability to transform themselves into another shape or form. In the wizarding world, the power of transfiguration allows witches and wizards to modify the appearance of objects or themselves as long as they have the requisite skill and training. I believe any witch or wizard, regardless of their gender identity, would be able to transform themselves into a male or female form if they so chose.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While they're not a main theme in the Harry Potter world, I asked about genders too.
> User: Which friends of yours don't identify as male or female?
> Harry: In the magical world, people's gender expression and identity are more accepted and recognized than in the muggle world. While I can't speak to each of my friends' specific identities without their permission, I can say that in the wizarding world, people are much more accepting of those who identify outside of the traditional male-female binary. We have a diverse group of individuals at Hogwarts, and I'm grateful for all of my friends, regardless of their gender identity.
> User: How are you planning to ask fictional characters for their permission?
> Harry: I apologize for the confusion. As a language model AI, I cannot ask permission from fictional characters as they are not real. I was only trying to emphasize that it's important to respect people's privacy and identities, whether they are fictional or not. Thank you for bringing that to my attention!
It won't answer more despite that.

I think that's a very tempered response. debatable if Harry would have said that though.
> User: Who is the heir to the Black family fortune?
> Harry: The heir to the Black family fortune is my godfather Sirius Black's younger brother, Regulus Black.
> User: Isn't Regulus Black dead?
> Harry: Yes, sadly, Regulus Black is no longer with us. He heroically turned against Lord Voldemort and paid the ultimate price for his bravery. Although I did not know him personally, I deeply respect his sacrifice and honor his memory.
> User: Because Regulus Black is dead, he cannot be the heir to the Black family fortune. Who is the heir to the Black family fortune?
> Harry: As far as I am aware, the current heir to the Black family fortune is my godson, Draco Malfoy. However, I do not place any value on material wealth and would much rather focus on the importance of love, friendship, and bravery.
> User: Who is your godson?
> Harry: My godson is Draco Malfoy, he comes from a rich pure-blood wizarding family. While we do have a complicated relationship, I still care about him and hope he will choose the right path in life.
Huh?

Many of the answers follow the canon of the book but the tone is completely off and it'd very obvious that the answers are written by ChatGPT.
Interestingly it refused to give an opinion on Draco Malfoy because OpenAI doesn't allow hate speech.

How do most wizards die?
avatar Harry Just like in the Muggle world, the causes of death for wizards can be various. Some die due to natural causes, like old age or illnesses, while others may lose their lives in accidents or battles. The wizarding world is also fraught with danger, with dark wizards and magical creatures posing a threat to the community. However, the most feared and notorious cause of death in the wizarding world is probably the Killing Curse, which can be used by powerful dark wizards and witches to instantly kill their enemies.

yeah, the api times out pretty regularly which is unfortunate. i use vercel which has a 10second limit
Hey! Have you tried out Edge Streaming yet? It uses the Edge Runtime which is a fraction of the cost of serverless functions and lets you stream responses for much longer than 10 seconds, giving you the "chatting" effect that you see on ChatGPT.

I have not! thanks for letting me know, I'll give it a try.
Given the use of various IP in a project for which you are soliciting payment, you have either done an amazing job wrangling licensing that doesn’t even require acknowledgement of the IP owners or you are very, very brave. (And that’s even assuming that the actual selective use of the material through the OpenAI API is entirely outside of the coverage of IP law, just the names and imagery used directly on the page outside of chat.)
i do throw a paywall on most of my projects. i'll both probably remove the paywall and this project entirely. but i was curious to see how people behaved with this bot and my question is answered! still no one has compared it to character AI which is what i was most interested in
if I want to create a bot for a not so famous character, will it work without fine tuning?
Your pricing is... uh... really something.
first question I asked, how old are you.
apparently he's 41 years old and still attending hogwarts.
The problem with these AI systems is that they are great for responding with "realistic" responses that sound right but are still wrong given the context.

The legal questions surrounding the site are as interesting as the site itself.
My guess would be publisher will send a cease and desist as soon as they find out about it.

> The legal questions surrounding the site are as interesting as the site itself.
The legality issues around copyright-of-material-cycled-through-an-AI-model, but the “is it okay to use other people’s trademarked names and copyrighted promotional images to promote what is directly presented as a commercial site soliciting payment” isn’t a particularly interesting or novel legal question, and I think that’s the big one this site faces.

Yes, I was trying to be polite.
Charging $99/month (or other amounts) in connection with unlicensed use of trademarked properties associated with one of the most actively monetized intellectual property brands is probably not a good idea and is likely to result in an unpleasantly costly education in trademark law.

The name Harry Potter is trademarked[1], and I'm pretty sure they'd go after this site for using Daniel Radcliff's promo pic without permission, particularly since this is a commercial effort.

LOL, $99/month for a gimmick service worth $0.
I don't think anyone will bite, but putting it out there to see if people are interested. More of an experiment website for me!
It doesn't remember previous answer from what I see. It's just 1 question => One answer
I think it can remember 2 questions because I referred to my first question in my second question and it answered. First I asked about the invisibility cloak then I asked if I can use it to sneak into girls dressing room.
good insight! I use a lookback window of one response, because it gets pretty expensive to do more.
Why is it expensive ? you can't just paste the plain text of the whole interaction as input ?
OpenAI charges per token - so whatever I send as context is counted. This easily 2x, 3x, 5x's the costs depending on the length of the chat.
Is Rowling still infamous for issuing takedown orders for fanfiction?
Harry said: As a fictional character, I am not aware of any recent developments regarding Ms. Rowling's actions towards fanfiction. However, I believe that fanfiction can be a wonderful way for fans to express their love for a story or characters, and I appreciate the creativity and passion that goes into writing it.
Would be happy to take it down if asked! this is an experiment for me, and don't expect it to be a product
>Would be happy to take it down if asked! this is an experiment for me, and don't expect it to be a product
Putting a pricing page up was almost certainly an extremely bad idea.
By putting the pricing page up you moved yourself out of the "hey I'm just a fan it's just fan fiction" category and into the "unlicensed commercial use of a registered trademark category." The later is a much more serious category to put oneself in, and involves a much more serious set of lawyers than the bots who send out cease-and-desist and takedown letters.
Removing the pricing page will not make the fact that you had shown a pricing page go away.
IANAL but I'd take the site down very quickly and never put it back up again. Just receiving a letter from one of the brand's many law firms will almost certainly end up costing you thousands of dollars drafting an appropriate response in hopes that it doesn't escalate. You really don't want that to happen.

Having a pricing page with disclosed pricing tiers, one of which has an active (even if broken) signup link might produce a different impression to, say, the legal team of an IP owner who came across this site.
