GPT3RecBot: a universal chatbot recommender of movies, books and music in Telegram
Recent advances in large language models have extended their potential use cases to different domains. Models such as ChatGPT have an extensive internal knowledge base that enables them to provide answers to various domain-specific queries. In this paper, we explore the potential use of OpenAI’s GPT3.5 model as a conversational recommender system. We designed a user-friendly chatbot capable of recommending items in three domains: books, movies, and music. Our study involved collecting explicit feedback from 517 users, and we report the results obtained. The average usefulness of our bot is 4.15 / 5. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of GPT3.5 as a personalised recommendation system. We hope that our work will inspire further research in this area. Our chatbot is available on the popular messaging platform Telegram under the name @GPT3Recbot, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
