Creating a Philosophical Chat Bot with AI: A Beginner’s Guide

Welcome to the world of AI-driven philosophy! In this blog, we’ll explore how to create a digital philosophy chat bot, aptly named “Досократик” (Doskra tik). This chat bot serves as an engaging tool to discuss philosophical concepts inspired by thinkers like Plato, while using cutting-edge AI language models. Let’s dive right into the process!

What You Need to Get Started

• Basic knowledge of Python programming
• Access to the Hugging Face API
• Understanding of philosophical concepts

Step-by-Step Guide to Building the Chat Bot

Creating a chat bot may seem daunting, but consider it like baking a cake, where you carefully mix different ingredients to achieve your final masterpiece! Below is how you can piece together the components to create your philosophical chat bot:

Step 1: Import Necessary Libraries

The first step in our coding process is importing the required libraries. Python has a rich ecosystem, and for our purpose, we’ll use the ‘requests’ library to interact with the Hugging Face API.

import requests

Step 2: Set Up API Details

Every cake needs a recipe. Here, you’ll need the API URL and your authorization credentials:

API_URL = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/DmitryYarov/dosocratic"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer hf_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"}

Step 3: Craft the Query Function

This function acts like the oven where the ingredients merge. Here’s how to set it up:

def query(payload):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json=payload)
    return response.json()

Step 4: Call the Chat Bot

Now comes the exciting part! You can ask the bot to provide insights about different philosophical ideas:

output = query({
    "inputs": "Can you please let us know more details about your philosophy?"
})

Step 5: Handling Output

After querying the chat bot, you’ll want to see the responses just like tasting your cake after it bakes:

print(output)

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even the best bakers encounter problems sometimes! Here are a couple of troubleshooting tips for common issues:

• API Key Issues: Ensure that your authorization token is correct. If you’re getting unauthorized errors, recheck your API key.
• Response Errors: If the bot does not respond as expected, verify the `inputs` format in your query function. It needs to be a well-structured JSON.
• Slow Responses: If the chatbot takes longer than expected to respond, it might be worth checking your internet connection or the status of the API service.
