I'm not sure I understand the "monetization" reference. We've never mentioned anything related to monetization when discussing TudyBOT.
To reiterate: The decision to make TudyBOT only available to PFM's was in response to a vocal group of members that were very concerned about her being...
This is still very much a work in process! We will continue to review feedback from the members to determine if it makes sense to limit who can start new threads in the section, where the section is located, Etc.
We realized that having it at the top of the forum would confuse new members that aren't familiar with our structure or where to post content, so her corner was moved down the list of sections/nodes to hopefully reduce confusion.
Thanks to everyone that has provided their feedback in a very understanding and respectful way.
Whenever we make changes to BYC, it feels like this quote is on constant REPEAT at FULL VOLUME:
“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the...
TUDYBOT UPDATE:
I wanted to take a moment to talk to you all about some changes we're making to @TudyBOT.
Our amazing moderation team has read and thoroughly reviewed and discussed your fantastic feedback, including the diversity of pros and cons.
We want to emphasize how much work and...
For every article that talks about the bad aspects of AI, there are equal number of articles like this:

While it's always a good idea to have a healthy degree of fear and concern over new...
Yup, great points! If we keep her around, I'll look into ways to VERY clearly call-out that she's AI and it's important to triple-check anything she suggests.
I'm not sure I understand the question. If you're asking how to send her a query, you would simply go to the TudyBOT corner, start a new...
We have it disabled in PM convos so anything that it is used for is 100% public and available for our Moderators to review and take action where needed.

One more data-point / answer / Point-Of-View to add to the mix.

This is not accurate. The model is tweaked, but the main...
I want to reiterate that we're listening carefully to all the feedback. Baring any huge new revelations, we're going to hold off on any decisions one way or another to see how things go once the novelty / dust settles.
In the interim, please keep testing Tudy here:

The easy answer: If you post anything publicly on a website like BYC (that is accessible without a login), then it's impossible to stop that information from being crawled, scraped, used by bots.
So, no, we don't provide any data to these AI systems directly (other than when someone...
I completely understand this concern and (to some extent) have similar worries. The "data-driven" part of me wants to see if that's really the possible outcome that would happen, or if it's a concern based on some assumptions and expectations that might not come to fruition. I don't want the...
Well stated!!! I totally agree! Great analogy. :)
Yes, very true!
Nope. The current model isn't being updated in real-time. It's stuck at whatever data it gained up until September 2021.
Me too! Are you worried that you'll be forced to talk to a robot, or that if there's a robot in the...
Interesting! The "novelty" of @TudyBOT has already shown that it's wearing off!
1st 24 hours compared to 2nd 24 hours:
That's a 30% drop-off in just one day.
We expect that trend to keep dropping at an increasing rate to the point where she's only really used once in a while (relative to...
I pulled some quotes, comments, etc. from the other thread and wanted to give my 2 cents here :)
Yes, for sure! It's very similar to the danger we currently experience when people (with good intentions) provide bad information on raising chickens, and then people follow-it without doing more...
Wow, great discussion! Thanks to everyone that's interacting in a helpful and respectful way!!!
A few of my thoughts / responses:
100% spot-on! She'd only be "used" by those who specifically want her to engage. If a member doesn't like her responses, they can ignore (either by reading past...
One quick note:
*IF* we decide to keep @TudyBOT around, a BIG question is where would she be "allowed" to be called / invited to participate?
My concern with limiting her to just her own "corner" is that we'll then run into one of my biggest gripes since creating forums 18 years ago:
Having...
