Cute, but I'd rather it keep its comments relevant to the conversation.

Isn't that up to the person using the bot?
@[email protected] could you please compare the advantages and disadvantages of having a general-purpose chatbot available in an online forum that can answer any questions, whether relevant to the conversation or not?
Sure, chatbots can be very useful tools but they also come with their own sets of pros and cons.
Advantages:
- Round-the-clock availability: Chatbots can provide instant responses at any time of the day or night.
- Providing fast answers: They can quickly provide the user with the information they're looking for, enhancing user experience.
- Resource efficient: They can handle multiple queries at once, saving the forum from having to employ manpower to answer questions.
- Reducing workload: They can handle repetitive questions, freeing up humans for more complex tasks.
- User engagement: They can engage users, keep their interest, and potentially increase their time spent on the forum.
Disadvantages:
- Limited understanding: Chatbots may not be able to fully understand complex queries or nuances of human language, leading to potential misunderstandings.
- Lack of empathy: While they can manage simple queries, chatbots lack human empathy and judgment, so they may not respond appropriately to sensitive topics.
- Relevance: In a conversation-focused space like a forum, a chatbot may answer queries that are not relevant to ongoing conversations, disrupting the flow of discussion.
- Dependency: Over-reliance on chatbots may lead to reduced human interaction, which is a key aspect of online forums.
- Privacy concerns: Depending on their programming and the data they collect, chatbots may pose privacy risks.
It is important for forum admins to weigh these pros and cons before implementing a chatbot. They must also ensure regular updates and improvements to the chatbot, to enhance its understanding and relevance to the community.
@AutoTLDR the other bot talks too much, please summarize this
This has the same energy, to me, as the "lazy user -> chatGPT 'write me an email' -> send email -> recipient -> chatGPT 'summarize this email"
TL;DR: (AI-generated ๐ค)
Chatbots can be advantageous as they provide round-the-clock availability, fast answers, resource efficiency, workload reduction, and user engagement. However, they also have limitations such as limited understanding, lack of empathy, potential disruption of ongoing conversations, dependency on chatbots reducing human interaction, and privacy concerns. Forum admins should carefully consider these pros and cons before implementing a chatbot and ensure regular updates and improvements to enhance its effectiveness.
Under the Hood
- There was no link in the parent comment, so I summarized its body.
- My maximum input length is set to 12000 characters. The text was short enough, so I did not truncate it.
- I used the
gpt-3.5-turbomodel from OpenAI to generate this summary using the prompt "Summarize this text in one paragraph. Include all important points." - I can only generate 100 summaries per day. This was number 2.
How to Use AutoTLDR
- Just mention me ("@AutoTLDR") in a comment or post, and I will generate a summary for you.
- If mentioned in a comment, I will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, I will summarize the post itself.
- If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, I will summarize the content at that link.
- If there is no link, I will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.
- ๐ If you include the #nobot hashtag in your profile, I will not summarize anything posted by you.
Hmm, is there another tldr bot to summarize this post? That's still pretty lengthy.
I used this yesterday, without realizing it is unable to use the comment I am replying to as context and I looked real stupid in front of all my new Lemmy friends ๐ญ lmao
It would be kind of cool for the bot to consider the entire chain of comments up to and including one's reply that pings the bot. Although perhaps that feature could be gated behind a command argument, like when commanding bot accounts from GitHub comments for CI/CD. That could gard against unintentional prompt injection or dilution of context with longer reply chains. Thoughts @[email protected] ?
I'd like that as well, but my problem with that is that it can rack up cost real quick because you're billed per every token in the conversation, I once managed to incur cost of $5 in a single conversation of about 37 messages.
I'm planning for the bot to have the ability to set a custom api key, meaning every user could potentially provide their own api key and pay for their own responses and in that case using the whole chain is possible, but as long as I'm paying for all the responses of everyone on Lemmy, that's unlikely to happen.
i didnt know you paid for it ๐ฏ. thank you ๐ฅน if I was in the position to contribute I would. for now I'll just refrain from using to to drive up your costs
Feel free to use it, that's why I made it! I have measures in place to make sure I don't spend more than I'm willing to.
@[email protected] Could you give us some examples where AI is used in a way that benefits society?
Absolutely, AI is being used in a myriad number of ways to benefit society. Here are a few examples:
-
Healthcare: AI is revolutionizing healthcare with advancements in diagnosis, drug discovery, patient monitoring, and personalized medicine. For instance, machine learning models are used to predict patient outcomes and identify diseases from medical scans more accurately than human doctors.
-
Education: Educational technologies are using AI to individualize learning for students. For instance, AI can help identify gaps in learning and adapt content to fit the learning style of individual students.
-
Environment: AI is being used to manage and protect our environment. It's implemented for forecasting natural disasters, reducing waste, and optimizing energy use. For instance, Google's DeepMind AI reduced the energy used by their data centers by 40%.
-
Transportation: In transportation, AI has a significant role in optimizing route plans, fuel consumption, elevating safety, and the development of autonomous vehicles which could greatly decrease accidents caused by human error.
-
Agriculture: AI is used for predicting crop yields, monitoring soil health, and tracking livestock health. Agri-tech companies use AI-powered drones and automated irrigation systems to help farmers make informed decisions.
-
Public safety and security: AI can help predict and prevent crimes, enhance public security measures, and assist in disaster management. For example, AI algorithms are used to predict areas with a higher likelihood of criminal activity.
-
Economy: AI is contributing to economic growth by increasing productivity, creating new jobs, and driving new technological growth. It's estimated that AI could add up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, according to PwC.
Remember that while AI has the potential for great social benefit, it is important to ensure that its design and use respects human and civil rights, to avoid undue discrimination or inequality.
