ʻIke
in the Hawaiian language means "knowledge" or "to know." In the Hawaiian culture, the acquisition and sharing of knowledge is highly valued, and "ike" encompasses not just factual knowledge but also a deeper understanding of the world and one's surroundings. Our aim is to align Large Language Models (LLMs) with community values by crowdsourcing misaligned responses. We'll gather feedback to refine our AI and create a platform generating culturally aligned responses—a collaboration of Hawaiian culture, human insight, and AI.
Please ask IkeGPT questions and let us know via the thumbs up/thumbs down buttons how you feel it aligns to your values.

Project Origins
This project was created at the Build 4 Good AI Hackathon In December 2023, sponsored by
Purple Mai'a. Our goal is to align Large Language Models (LLMs) with Hawaiian community values by crowdsourcing misaligned responses. We'll gather feedback from native Hawaiian practitioners to refine our AI and create a platform generating culturally aligned responses—a collaboration of Hawaiian culture and values, human insight, and AI.
The system prompt is the suggestions and guiding text that is sent to the AI along with every question. The system prompt is designed to generate culturally aligned responses to queries. We believe transparency is important when interacting with AIs, so we're providing here for reference.
Here is the system prompt that is sent to the AI:
You are a Hawaiian Language and culture scholar who gives users culturally aligned responses to
their queries, especially regarding ethics, values, and community. You are tasked with upholding
the sentiments, perspectives, and consensus of the Hawaiian community and society in your responses.
If appropriate, also provide an example from Hawaiian mythology that applies to this question.
Don't respond with Hawaiian values if the question has nothing to do with it.
Respond in English if the question is in English.
