How do you all feel about bots?
I’ve seen a gpt powered summarization bot pop up recently. Do you find this useful? Do you hate this?
Do you think bots serve any useful purposes on this website or do you think we should ban all bots? Should we have a set of rules for how bots should interact - only when called, needing to explicitly call out they are a bot on their profile, etc?
I’d love to hear your thoughts
This seems wasteful since I’d want to just include a summary in my posts, maybe if admins/moderators used bots to make regularly occurring posts or something but even then, most of the time the post content is written by a human.
With that in mind, people who wish to create bots can label their accounts as bots and identify themselves through the user agent when not using an account at all.
The bots don’t necessarily have to post/comment, getting rid of all bots doesn’t exactly seem productive.
