What does everyone think of bots on Beehaw?
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
You're viewing a single thread.
I like summary bots, summoned bots that serve a purpose, and meme bots if they stay in specific communities where they are expected to be. All bots should self identify.
I could be mistaken but doesn't Lemmy just have a setting for the user to not see bot posts?
I also figure users can block specific bots if they don't like them.
The summary bot has now been disabled as per the decision of Beehaw. Contact your favorite community mods if you'd like to change that.
Disappointing. There's a number of reasonable bots and auto-tl;dr can be extremely useful for avoiding tracking and shady sites.
