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.
