A script used to generate Wikipedia-style pages via ChatGPT

A developer created a script called 'mypedia' that uses ChatGPT to generate short, balanced reference pages in the style of Wikipedia articles. The script takes a name as input, prompts ChatGPT to produce a neutral summary with links to authoritative sources, and saves the output as a Markdown file both locally and to an S3 bucket for public access.

" | | | + "Follow the structure of a Wikipedia article but keep it brief -- an outline of the basic facts, not a long detailed treatment. " | | | + "Cover who or what it is, why it matters, and the essential history. " | | | + "Stay neutral; where there is controversy, note the main sides briefly rather than taking one. " | | | + "Include links to authoritative web sources so the reader can follow the original work.
