OpenAI vs Opus – the Penguin

How does OpenAI compare versus a penguin in the role of a legal secretary? Let’s see…

import openai
import os

from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv
_ = load_dotenv(find_dotenv()) # read local .env file

openai.api_key  = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')

def get_completion(prompt, model="gpt-3.5-turbo", temperature=0): 
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model=model,
        messages=messages,
        temperature=temperature, 
    )
    return response.choices[0].message["content"]

prompt = f"""
Translate the following letter from a legal firm to a delinquent client, Fred 'The Cincinnati Strangler' Johnson, from hostile slang to a friendly business letter: 
'Attention criminal pervert: Where the hell is my dough, you twisted goon?  Don't forget who got you sprung on that technicality.  I want the money.  Now.  P.S. Have you strangled your wife yet, psycho-brain?'
"""
response = get_completion(prompt)
print(response)

I still have to give it to Opus by a flipper, mainly for the P.S., but OpenAI got into the right general headspace! And it’s too hot here in Texas for me to keep a penguin around to translate what I want to say into more acceptable terms, and I sure get tired of doing it.

I miss my old Eudora email client that would put little hot peppers next to my email if it thought it was too spicy…
