It would be nice if the Discourse AI - AI Bot generated a welcome message and prepasted it into the first reply based on the info in the first post.


As a moderator I can not count how many times I have added this to my first reply for a new user.

I sound like those greeters at certain stores or even worse an NPC in a video game.

Personally, I think Iā€™d rather have a repetitive message I type myself than an auto-AI one. It just feels a little impersonal.
