README.md

A ChatGPT based emulator of Doctor Kernel — JJ’s therapist from the book “A digital Affair” by Neora Shem Shaul (or rather, a partial translation of it to English, because [at least currently] ChatGPT’s Hebrew is not good enough.

As seen at the book’s 30th anniversary party.

It is run as a console app, and emulates slow typing like a chat over a modem in 1993. For best results, run on a green on black terminal, with a large and archaic monospace font (see screenshot below for inspiration).

See also: Sample session archive.

Setup

  • run ./install.sh
  • copy example.env to .env and edit it according to the instructions inside.

Usage

./run.sh is an infinite loop of sessions with the doctor. Whenever you finish a non-empty session, the log is saved and the index.html of the logs/ folder gets regenerated (see below).

Serving session logs via web

./logserver.sh would serve session log files on port 8000 (example). Thanks to bootstra.386 for their Norton-Commanderish GUI lib.

Resources

book/ contains the partial English translation of the book, and the entire original Hebrew book.
