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

There are most definitely some useful bots, like the recent tldr that I've encountered. I find them incredibly valuable. They should be used sparingly though.

"Fun" joke or game bots could be okay with if they were in specific communities that wanted them (which would be communities I'm not a part of, ๐Ÿ˜), but not in general. I tend to be a purist and like to keep things as vanilla as possible.

The tldr bot has now been disabled as per the decision of Beehaw. Contact your favorite community mods if you'd like to change that.
