Gpt3.5_bot user

[PVIcpaq]

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

We’ve recently made the AI bot module from our AI plugin available to all plans on our hosting. 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). 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. That’s still a work in…

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 to get results.
