Generally I find Ask pretty helpful. But today it provided two links to posts which I can’t access. I assume they have been tidied into a category with restricted access - a pity, here, because they looked like they might have been useful.

I asked it, “when a moderator rejects a flag, does the post get unhidden” and it gave me general information about non-Discourse forums. Shouldn’t all the advice be assumed to be about discourse? What is the point of the tool if it isn’t oriented that way?

When I did tell it I was asking about discourse, it gave me a link to a non-existent post: https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-happens-when-a-post-is-flagged/15826

A post was split to a new topic: Improve managing history on Ask discourse

I often use ask-discourse, and this is the things that bother me the most. It often makes up links instead of returning real data.

The number of links on meta are finite. I don’t know much about LLMs, but it seems like you should be able to test against a list of actual posts.

If you see bad answers like that, please do click the :-1: button.

That’ll flag them for us so we can see if there is a way to tune things further in the prompt or improve the docs to better surface better answers.

I’ve found it’s a lot more effective than searching through meta for answers—i can toss it a single natural language query (like “How do I make Discourse do [thing]?”) and get an answer made up of summarized bits from the same 3-4 meta searches I would have eventually stumbled upon, but without me having to spend the time to find them. I definitely plan on continuing to use it when I have “how do I” or “is it possible to” kinds of Discourse questions.

That, but AI search here on Meta can also provide quite relevant results.


I can’t really delete my converstaions. I can flag them, but that’s more of a hassle. Is there a way to let normal users delete their own bot PMs?

Not yet, but I feel like this is a request for general “Discourse AI”, ChatGPT has a much nicer option which we should emulate:
