There is something I don't understand (from a tech point of view). Why call it GirlfriendGPT if 99% of the code is generic code for a fancy whatever-you-want-it-to-be chatGPT? The only thing that makes the answers "girlfriend-like" is this file https://github.com/EniasCailliau/GirlfriendGPT/blob/main/src... So, it should be tremendously easy to turn GirlfriendGPT into "BestFriendGPT" or "LinusTorvaldsGPT" or whatever by just modifying the prompt, right? I know, I know, perhaps duplication is cheaper than (the wrong) abstraction but my tech-side tells me: refactor the common thing out now! : D
