    I’m not expecting the same results to be always similar to my experience or at least positive.

    Also, I’d stick to popular instances since I’d expect moderators to be stricter than random instances when it comes to bots.

    Some communities decided to have a separate instance such as piracy iirc.

      lemdro.id is quite strict regarding bots, I run it! I’m not sure what post they were referring to since I can’t see it in their history

        This is one of the bots that responded. I did a “bad bot” type reply to it and it delete or someone delete it’s post. https://lemdro.id/u/GPT4

        I dont particularly have an issue with bots and this one is clearly marked a bot. The main issue is that it just searched and summarized the top 10 reddit answers to the same question which I had already done… Im sure the bot didnt break any of the bot rules. It’s just that bots dont generally give good answers to questions without refinement to the parameters. If I was directly using ChatGPT I’m sure I could get it to give an acceptable answer to most questions. But a random bot giving a general answer is not much use. (To me at least).

        Sometimes people just dont have answers to the questions… Bots always do sadly even when they are not correct.

          Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I asked around and this is actually ran by one of the other admins on the instance. They generate the responses manually and then paste them as a comment. The account is marked as a bot so that users can disable showing bot accounts in their profile settings.

          I know this doesn’t functionally change your point, but Lemdro.id is still growing (over 10k subscribers now…), so hopefully you can get some better answers in the future.

            I imagine as it grows it will become more useful. It’s not particularly my viewpoint that lemdro.id isnt useful. The opposite is true. I was just pointing out in my original post that, sadly, all I’ve gotten sofar were unhelpful bot responses. I wasnt particularly trying to push an agenda or anything. I like lemdro.id and am registered there and will help where I can to make it better… but also bots… :D

              No worries, your experience is totally valid thanks for sharing it. I’ll mention it to the other admin running that account :)
