Hello everyone! Have you been having trouble expanding your business with dense vector searches using Lucene/Solr due to the remarkable momentum of ChatGPT recently?
In Japan, since the emergence of ChatGPT, many of our clients have been taking a "wait and see" approach to implementing a dense vector search engine. Of course, I believe that everyone participating in this community is aware of the respective strengths of ChatGPT and Lucene/Solr. However, customers who aren't primarily engaged in information retrieval may surprisingly struggle to articulate these unique features. For this reason, my company has created a YouTube video comparing generative AI chat and dense vector search. I hope it will be helpful in your business expansion. https://youtu.be/q_kPN6zImbY (Note that in the video, we refer to "dense vector search" as "semantic search", but don't worry about that.) Let's harness the wave of ChatGPT and promote the wonderful Lucene/Solr together! The video is set in a fictional "Large Language Model Library" and features a narrative of about 4 minutes. The generative AI chat and dense vector search engine each play the role of a librarian, responding to library users. The story is divided into three parts: Part 1) A librarian, portrayed by the generative AI chat, responds to a young library user. During the interaction, the AI chat librarian hallucinates, but the easygoing young man doesn't notice. Part 2) The same AI chat librarian responds to a different library user, a woman. The AI chat librarian provides a flawless response, but when the woman requests a reference book, the librarian is unable to meet her request. Part 3) Another librarian, played by the dense vector search engine, responds to the woman. This librarian is able to meet her request and provides appropriate reference materials. We wanted to keep the video as short as possible, so it may seem like we're only emphasizing the advantages of dense vector search over AI chat, but of course, we all know that both have their strengths. It's all about using the right tool in the right place. I haven't been able to contribute to the community recently, but I'm always cheering for the Lucene/Solr community. I'm glad to be able to contribute in this different way. Thank you! Koji
