Inspiration
To reduce misinformation spread on the internet.
What it does
isItLegit allows discord users to fact check messages received in the app.
How I built it
We break a claim (discord message) into chuncks and use them to query wikipedia to gather information. That information is then fed into an LLM. The LLM then makes its best guess as to whether or not the information is true.
Challenges I ran into
We wanted to use a local LLM via Ollama, but it was way too slow to use when ran inside our docker container (5-7 minutes to output a single response)
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
None of us have ever made a discord bot or build any kind of "AI" application before, so this felt like a massive accomplishment to get this up and running in ~24 hours.
What I learned
That running a local LLM requires a ton of resources. I learned about options for local LLMs. Learned about docker and how to set up a docker container. Gained experience working with a team and learned how to be a more effective team member.
What's next for isThisLegit
Fame and fortune.
