Did anyone actually use this bot? I don’t know of anyone who did.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago

I read this and was like "Wait, Discord had it's own AI?"

Messed with it a bit and it still thought Queen Elizabeth was the current reigning monarch in the UK.

If it's a ChatGPT wrapper then its knowledge cutoff is 2021 and this is normal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah it is and I'm aware, I even asked it that specifically for that cutoff. Also thought Boris Johnson was the prime minister lol

I did a few times. Clyde was fun for a few funny messages but that's about it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I didn't even know it existed tbh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Did people actually now about it?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

Oh no! Now who will I kick and ban every time they join my small server of friends without an invite?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Having never heard of this nor read the article, I assume it was the 2020's equivalent of the old AIM chatbots that were amusing to talk to for 11 seconds before realizing you had better shit to do.

Clyde will come back as a nitro exclusive feature. I guarantee it

Which chat bot sensors the least and has decent quality?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a support note, Discord says the chatbot will be “deactivated” at the end of the month, and that by December 1st “users will no longer be able to invoke Clyde in DMs, Group DMs or server chats.”

Discord first started testing Clyde’s AI features earlier this year, using OpenAI’s models to let the chatbot answer questions and have conversations with Discord users.

It has been in limited testing ever since, and the company had planned to make it a fundamental part of its chat and communities app.

We’ve reached out to Discord to comment on the closure, and we’ll update you accordingly.

Discord has been experimenting with a variety of AI features, including AI-generated conversation summaries.

This allows Discord users to catch up on conversations they might have missed, particularly useful for servers that span across multiple time zones.


The original article contains 222 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 37%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Having an AI bot is a litigation liability.
