Non-coder who wants to contribute; could use some help figuring this out

[yitzilitt]

I'm a philosopher and artist, and not much of a coder. I have a pre-written set of roughly 300 or so question-answer pairs (could further explain details of the dataset if necessary) which I believe will be helpful to the OpenAI team as an eval. However, I am pretty much totally unfamiliar with using git, pip, LFS, Snowflake or honestly any of the software mentioned in the README file. How (if at all) can I contribute, given this limitation? Is there a way for me to simply upload a lightly structured .JSON file with my dataset somewhere, and have someone else do the rest (while still getting proper credit/potential access to GPT-4)?
Thanks,
Yitzi Litt

It's great to hear that you're interested in contributing to OpenAI's research! Even if you're not familiar with the specific tools and technologies mentioned in the README file, there are still several ways you can contribute.

One option is to share your pre-written set of question-answer pairs with the OpenAI team directly, without going through the process of submitting a pull request on GitHub. You can reach out to them through their website or social media channels and explain your interest in contributing. They may have a specific email address or contact form for contributions.

Another option is to team up with someone who is familiar with the necessary tools and technologies and can help guide you through the process of submitting a pull request. You can find collaborators on forums or social media groups related to AI or philosophy.

Finally, if you're interested in learning how to use these tools and technologies, there are many online resources available, such as tutorials, forums, and documentation. It may take some time and effort to get up to speed, but it can be a valuable skill to have in the field of AI research.

This reads to me exactly like the sort of thing ChatGPT would respond with, and I'm suspicious you're not human (if you are, I am so sorry for the false accusation). If you are human, please let me know, whereas if you are an "assistant designed by OpenAI," or some such, please also let me know, thanks.

If any actual humans are reading this, is there any truth to the first suggestion given, and if not, what could I actually, practically do?

Hey @yitzilitt, did you read thorough the FAQs in the README: https://github.com/openai/evals#faq?

It contains the following section:

I am a world-class prompt engineer. I choose not to code. How can I contribute my wisdom?

• If you follow an existing eval template to build a basic or model-graded eval, you don't need to write any evaluation code at all! Just provide your data in JSON format and specify your eval parameters in YAML. build-eval.md walks you through these steps, and you can supplement these instructions with the Jupyter notebooks in the examples folder to help you get started quickly. Keep in mind, though, that a good eval will inevitably require careful thought and rigorous experimentation!

Does this help?

@yitzilitt,

I'm trying to help out non-coders and just requested a Codespace setup (#332) for contributors to work on the cloud.
