Companies have been gathering data for over a decade now and storing it in massive data warehouses with often no plan for how to effectively use it. I would not be surprised if turning those warehouses into a source for various LLM applications becomes the dominant use case for the industry very quickly. I expect we'll see some of the big incumbents like Snowflake roll out first-class vectorization of existing warehouses in the coming months.
If I'm correct in thinking Census is in the official Retrieval Plugin, can I add this to my https://github.com/Jeadie/awesome-chatgpt-plugins as an awesome example/tutorial explaining why retrieval is important, how it works and how to use it?
Census isn't an official plugin yet. We just make writing plugins easier if someone is writing one. Since our connector makes it easy now to get your data write into the plugins version of a data source. But yes, would love to have you link to our article on how the retrieval plugin works.
