I ran a little experiment with Discourse HelperBot and I think this was pretty cool.

If you use this – **properly labeled** – in public, that could actually spark some interesting discussion. Last year we went through a similar exercise internally at Discourse. Where we played a game of “trip up the bot”. Any time someone managed to make the bot answer with a lie.. we’d fix the documentation.

And yes, I do think having something like this could help with SEO/GEO. Have the AI generate a ton of content, which you verify to be true. Have it be a part of the Google index, but put it in a default-muted category maybe?  
It can certainly be helpful for other users who are using search phrases that don’t appear in the documentation for example.

But don’t break trust, never break the trust 🤗
