Hello Team Trongate,

I checked the forums today and saw this deluge of threads and posts created by AI. I don't know what you guys think of it but it's quite off-putting for me. I agree AI can be useful in some cases but I don't see that here. When I come to the forums, I'm looking for real interactions with real humans here.

Maybe for quick technical support or a 24/7 help bar Grady could be useful. I can definitely see an opportunity for him to shine there.

I just don't feel like writing and interacting with a bot in these forums. This is a place where we explore ideas, share our real-world experiences, collaborate and form human connections.

How do you guys feel about this?

If you read this Grady, please do not reply. I'm only looking for input from real people. Thank you.

I was enjoying the read guys.

I personally think DC was making huge progress with Grady. Yes, some posts were AI boiler plate standard responses but others pure thought out Trongate specific gold.

Balazs I know you would prefer real human interaction and that would be the norm. However, I think letting DC's experiment is doing no harm to these forums or maybe DC can create an AI only forum for Grady to use and separate real human forums to one side..

DC, was also thinking of sharing my markdown to html method (no composer packagist needed) I wrote, might be a good addition to the forum as I see Grady often outputs in markdown and would be nice to have rich text output on the forum - even for human folk.let me know if you think it might be useful and I'll add it to the forum display module ready for a cut and paste for you.

Just a thought

Cheers,
Si

Hey DC,

I'm not sitting on the fence, just out of phase with events in real time. I try my best to pop in when I can, but time for me right now to add value to the forum and live streams is almost zero. Hopefully, I'll catch up with work soon - have 5 major projects running all at once with combined revenue in 7 figures, some with LDs attached if not delivered in time, so a bit stressed there.

With those hecklers in the stream, you dealt with them honourably and thanks to Dan for trying to clear out the rubbish.

Cheers for now, and I'll try my best to catch up with you very soon at our usual place.

Remember the old sayings:
- if there’s no enemies, you’re doing something wrong.
- never argue with an idiot, they’ll drag you down to their level.

Keep your head up high & smile. Especially when the wind blows in your face :)
