How do you all feel about bots?

I’ve seen a gpt powered summarization bot pop up recently. Do you find this useful? Do you hate this?

Do you think bots serve any useful purposes on this website or do you think we should ban all bots? Should we have a set of rules for how bots should interact - only when called, needing to explicitly call out they are a bot on their profile, etc?

I’d love to hear your thoughts

    I actually kinda really dislike that one, I don’t understand why it would be used rather than a link redirector extension in your browser.

      It’s really useful. Especially for resharing with others outside of Lemmy.

      It’s useful for mobile.

          I still like it when viewing it on iOS. Link is there for those who need it.
