You say: Tell me your favourite short poem.

ChatGPT: I don't have personal preferences, but here is a short poem by Langston Hughes that many people enjoy:

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly

You say: I love it tell, tell me another.

ChatGPT: I'm glad you enjoyed that one! Here's another short poem for you, by Emily Dickinson:

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.

You say: ^C

Thank your for using JippiTTY, goodbye.

Conversations

Conversations are stored in a folder .jippitty in your system's home folder.

• For mac and linux users that is $HOME/.jippitty
• For windows users that is $USERPROFILE/.jippitty

Each conversation is stored as a JSON file in the format of an OpenAI message list that you might send in a request body to https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions. Essentially, this program enables you to edit and pass these files to the OpenAI API from your command line.

For example: File: <your system's home>/.jippitty/<conversation name>.json

{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Who won the world series in 2020?"
        },
        {
            "role": "assistant",
            "content": "The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 2020."
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Where was it played?"
        }
    ]
