I'd really like to play with ChatGPT, but there's no way I'm giving them my phone number.
@mckinley What about we create a 2-way Twtxt bot? πŸ˜†

@prologic about bots, I've never really seen something that I can describe as a bot by now, what would be an example of **bot** to you?

In my mind it's something that act like reddit bots or something you mention and reply somehow.

For anything else it's just a feed to me. πŸ€”
@justamoment that's precisely what I'm thinking πŸ‘Œ

@prologic then have you seen a bot here on Yarn.social?

How would someone use something like that in a meaningful way here?
@justamoment No I haven't seen such a bot yet... But I have come up with ways one can be developed. It would mostly reuse some of the code that yarnd users, but you'd want to build a sort-of "bot framework" if you will πŸ‘Œ

@prologic actually, Telegram approach for bots is pretty good, you can handle them in two ways:

- Fetch new posts and handle them in batch with scheduled loops or with long pooling
- Register a webhook and handle a POST endpoint and do what you want in it, this for everything posts separately

For Yarn the rest can be done with the existing API on a special bot user.
@prologic @mckinley I'm all for playing around, but for what it's worth I've blocked ChatGPT bots and filtered that keyword in other contexts because *so many freakin people* are generating stuff and posting it online that I've grown tired of it. I don't want to see AI-generated text anymore, that ship has sailed.

Oh boy, you are in for a rude awakening! This is just getting started. 😬
@bender ugh I know, that's why I aggressively block, filter, ask politely, etc.
