I'm playing with the idea of identifying logical fallacies stated by live broadcasters.
Logical fallacies are oftentimes totally relevant during anything that is not predicate logic. I'm not wrong for saying "The Surgeon General says smoking is bad, you shouldn't smoke." That's a perfectly reasonable appeal to authority.
LLMs are notoriously unreliable with mathematics and logic. I wish you the best of luck, because this would nevertheless be an awesome tool to have.
I'll be very positively impressed if you make this work; I spend all day every day for work trying to make more capable models perform basic reasoning, and often failing :-P
Automation to identify logical/rhetorical fallacies is a long held dream of mine, would love to follow along with this project if it picks up somehow
even better, podcasters probably easier to fetch the data as well
I think this is the best idea thus far!
Keep good work, good fellow. ;)
I have several rhetoric and logic books of the sort you might use for training or whatever, and one of my best friends got a doctorate in a tangential field, and may have materials and insights.
We actually just threw a relationship curative app online in 17 hours around Thanksgiving., so they "owe" me, as it were.
I'm one of those people that can do anything practical with tech and the like, but I have no imagination for it - so when someone mentions something that I think would be beneficial for my fellow humans I get this immense desire to at least cheer on if not ask to help.
