BIP-58: Tutoring Botto in Art History

Summary

Please note that this Snapshot has a default 72-hour voting window.

This BIP lays out an initial architecture for tutoring Botto in art history, enabling it to have a greater voice in its creative direction. It also explores some of the beneficial ways Botto can use its newfound voice and identifies a first project in installation art to showcase its new capabilities.

The proposal asks for a budget of $25,000 USD and 25,000 $BOTTO to build a prototype that will test this architecture and produce a demo we can use to win partners to support the full development.

Proposal Specifications

Step 1 - Training Corpus Collection

• For this 2-month prototype process, RG will make executive decisions about training corpus materials. Future iterations will benefit from community input.
• Output: Hard drive of plain text (.txt) files

Step 2 - Art Psychology Profile Development

• Questionnaire, answers, simulated community votes, resulting constitution
• Assessment of the performance of the approach + opinion on what is needed in future iterations
• A couple samples of synthesis for presentation of the constitution (Botto writes a summary)

Step 3 - LLM Fine Tuning

• A sample “psych profile” for Botto
• Finetuned LLM Q&A model (“art critic”)
• Finetuned LLM for installation proposals
• Assessment of the performance of the approach + opinion on what is needed in future iterations

Budget

Steps 1 & 2 - ($10k RG time) Step 3 - ($10k RG time + approx. $5k finetuning cost)

Total: $25k USD Stipend: 25k $BOTTO
