It wouldn't be easy, nor worth the cost.
Existing AI providers like OpenAI already have the ability for you to do this, i.e. upload a corpus of documents that you want it to answer from. And it would probably be cheaper to use their services than for you to set up and train your own model.
Second this. Just use OpenAI deep research and just give it the scenario of how you'd like to facilitate a mock debate -- share links you have in mind and just let it do it's thing. If you have some authority in mind, you can even ask it to speak to you as if it were that person -- it's pretty amazing.

Thanks for the info.
I thought of this because I'd heard that Alex Epstein (author of the book Fossil Future, among others) did something like this, creating a model based on his own writings and other "climate crisis critical" documents. I should look more carefully at that

Yeah, I know because I tried to build my own RAG system and it was kinda difficult to get it working well. It's a bit more complex than simply downloading something from HuggingFace and hitting play. And then I realized that OpenAI has a tool for this already, and realized I was wasting my time trying to build my own.
Building your own might be something you only do if you want to keep your documents and interactions with the AI private.
