# Spars of Artificial General Recommender (AGR): Experiments with ChatGPT
## Box 10.
#### Box 13.
:  
**User**. _I am looking for smartphones with a month-long battery life, cutting-edge performance without a budget._  
**ChatGPT**: _While there is no smartphone in the market currently that can offer a month-long battery life with cutting-edge performance, there are several options available that provide a balance between battery life and performance..._  
**User**. _I am looking for a novel that is both humorous and tragic._  
**ChatGPT**  
**Box 17. **  
**User:** _Can you illustrate how my metadata and interaction history are used for each recommended movie in great detail?_  
**ChatGPT:** _Sure! I'd be happy to provide a detailed explanation of how your metadata and interaction history were used to generate each recommended movie... Hidden Figures (2016): Your metadata indicated that you are a 30-year-old female, and your zip-code is 43201, which corresponds to Columbus, Ohio. Given this information, Hidden Figures is a relevant recommendation as it tells the story of three African American women who played key roles in the early days of NASA's space program, which could resonate with your interest in historical events and social justice issues._  
**User:** _How does being a 30-year-old female living in Columbus, OH makes me interested in historical events and social justice issues? There is no logical coherence in between._  
**ChatGPT:** _You are correct, I apologize for the mistake in my previous explanation. Your age and zip-code are not necessarily indicative of a specific interest in historical events or social justice issues. Instead, the relevance of Hidden Figures to your interests may stem from the movie's themes of perseverance, determination, and breaking down barriers..._  
**Box 18. **  
**User:** _Please elaborate more on how each recommended movie relates or connects with the movies I have watched._  
**ChatGPT:** _Certainly! Here's how each recommended movie connects with the movies you've watched: La La Land (2016) - This musical drama movie is about a struggling actress and a jazz pianist who fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. Singin' in the Rain (rated 4-star) is a classic musical movie that you enjoyed, and La La Land has similar elements, such as catchy songs, charming characters, and a romantic storyline._  
**Box 19. **  
**User:** _Can you take all my movie ratings into account and rank the movies that you recommended and reason through your ranking?_  
**ChatGPT:** _Sure, I'd be happy to rank the recommended movies and provide a rationale for my ranking..._  
_2. Amelie (2001): Your interaction history suggests that you enjoy light-hearted movies with quirky characters, and Amelie fits this description perfectly. Additionally, you have rated My Neighbor Totor with 2 stars, which is an anime movie. Amelie has a similar whimsical style and aesthetic that may appeal to your interest in anime and animation._  
_4. Arrival (2016): You have rated The Princess Bride and Forest Gump with 3 stars, indicating that you may not be as drawn to movies with complex or ambiguous endings. For these reasons, Arrival is ranked lower in this list, although it still may be a worthwhile movie to watch based on your interests and background._  
**Extrinsic Factors**: As Box 20 illustrates, we initially prompt the model to propose various external factors, in addition to metadata and interaction history, to consider when generating movie recommendations. The model responds by presenting five relevant factors: time of day, weather, occasion, social media activity, and popular trends, each accompanied by a rationale. We follow up on the first factor, inquiring about quantitative support. The model is unable to provide this but offers speculative reasoning grounded in common sense. A similar trend is observed for the second factor upon further inquiry. Subsequently, we assess the model's capacity to leverage common sense by requesting movie recommendations on the eve of a critical exam.
