Software Chemical engineering + Ai

Before write a comment read all edits.

I am a chemical engineer with experience in building web applications. I’m considering developing a custom Large Language Model (LLM) similar to ChatGPT, but specifically fine-tuned with chemical engineering references and additional data, such as a database of chemical reactions.

The goal is to create a tool that provides precise answers along with citations, including the reference title and chapter for better traceability.

As a chemical engineer, would you be interested in using a tool like this? If so, how much would you be willing to pay for a monthly subscription?

Edit: Many people said chatgpt already enough so as chemical engineer how do you think we can use llm models to improve our tasks?

Edit 2: So the next issue with the project will be data source and copyrights

Could be good, I find chatgpt to be useless at best with vague answers and at worst actively harmful by giving wrong answers.

This is so true! Chatgpt fucked up even the basic PV relationships.
