Recently, I noticed 3 unexpected bizarre users on my forum [with admin and moderator privileges]: Claude, GPT3.5 and GPT4\_bot. There was no email associated with them.

Can someone explain to me what happened? They have now disappeared after I reported the case to Communitech Support.

Thanks for help [this is my first contact with this community]

👋 hello @PVIcpaq, perhaps this will explain:

> [@New bot accounts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-bot-accounts/283052/4):
>
> We’ve recently made the AI bot module from our [AI plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai/259214) available to all plans on our hosting. partying_face These three users are the friendly little chaps who would be dishing out the AI advice once you enabled it and added in the relevant api keys ([Discourse AI - How to enable AI Bot in Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-how-to-enable-ai-bot-in-discourse/266012)). However, as Moin points out, we’re now thinking it would be better to defer creating them until the AI Bot module is actually enabled and configured by site admins. +1 That’s still a work in…

Here is more explanation:

> ## Technical FAQ
> 
> - **Why am I seeing bot users such as `claude_bot`, `gpt3.5_bot` and `gpt4_bot` being added as admins to my site?**
> - These users are necessary for AI Bot to function. They don’t do anything in the background and are only used when interacting with the bot.
> 
> - **Where do I edit personas**?
> - Head to `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai_personas` you can control which personas are enabled and who gets access to each persona.
> 
> - **Is the AI Bot trained on my community data?**
> - The AI Bot is not trained on any data. It uses [Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technique](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/what-is-retrieval-augmented-generation/) to get results.
