This is pure cosmetic one, and more bike shedding than real thing, plus it is matter of non-English speakers.
You have now
- Discourse Discover, a directory/showroom of forums out there
- Discourse Discovers, a search helper by AI
I reckon I have quite valid prompt, but I’m not totally sure, of course, because I’m far away from a pro. But… how would I put this… earlier I had quite high expectations of AI. Then I realize how little an AI uses and knows about content. It uses like the first hit it find and be really happy with it, without any further actions to find out real contextual and semantic connections.
I claim the issue is topics, where quite often the first post is in fact like part of user promp, because it includes a question and description, and the answer and what a user is looking for is in post 4, 57 or 101.
Sure. I would get better results using something else than OpenAI and using hours and hours work to build real and functional database of content. So I am wanted all raisins fron a bun, but I’m not ready to pay.
Well, all of that is off topic and more ”Is AI a hype or real tool in forums”.
So what I would like to get is normal search result, but in weighted mode: first amount X from AI, then normal results. And ability to dump that offered summary, because it is so often wrong and actually isn’t given real helpful information. If I’m looking for a topic that explains version numbering of Discourse, I don’t want short explanation, but relevant topics. And even now I don’t get it easily.
That is the ongoing real issue.
I like ask.discourse.com. Its miss/success rate is somewhere close to 50 %, but its use is more… productive, because I can explain what I need, and that may help me further. Or I realize quite fast that AI there can’t answer or is lying hallucinating.
I’ll take this down at some point from my forum. Users are asking so general questions, me including, that anykind AI can’t find real hit. And if one takes more conversational approach the seach of Discourse can’t help. But sure, you guys should work with that, and you will and that’s why I don’t totally understand why this is a feature request 
What I would like to get? I would like to get ask-option into searches, and more easily way than we have another search options. It is too overwhelming for john and jane doe. I’m using the search, on my instance, only when I know what topic I’m looking for. Otherwise I start rightway an AI-chat, because I know the signal/noise ratio of actual search is not that good.
(Should I use proofreading… yeah, but I don’t bother).
