Discourse AI Bot

I can try resubmitting to google but i think we got banned because of paintings of bums on sigur ros album covers (not even joking, we got kicked off of Google Ads years ago and Independent and elsewhere wrote about it)

Sounds about right!

Looks like when we moved to the new setup, I had to reindex the site, so doing that now, which will make it easier for us to search for stuff if the site search ever can’t find it too.

Is indexing not happening periodically? It shouldn’t be a one-off thing

God I hate SEO

it doesn’t seem to be, but might be because the main Drowned in Sound url is dormant or something. I dunno, I need to get a new index page up really.

Fellow @admins , specifically thise of you on the more technical side of things: Any input on this AI thing?

I have personal prejudice against generative AI, so consider me an biased source, but…

My main take is that Generative AI probably won’t do much that we aren’t already doing by going to Bard or Chat GPT in certain threads anyway. They’re recommending integrating with a generic AI model, not one trained for Discourse.

It’ll require Sean to sign up OpenAI or the other lot and create an API key and he’ll then be billed for the usage - approx 1-6 cents for every 1000 words in a prompt and 3-12 cents for every 1000 words generated.

I don’t personally think it’s a particularly good use of funds, but as I usually say, it’s also Sean’s site, so if he sees benefits that I don’t, then fine with me.

Don’t really see enough value in it myself either

Oh I missed that bit. I thought it was a free plugin to help with tech queries. Let’s scrap this idea then.
