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

  • I can see value in a summarization bot or an auto moderator so long as allowing some didn’t turn into a burden on the admin team on which ones to allow.

    I think their value can easily be outweighed if there are too many bots providing no value.
