I recall a Markov chain bot on IRC in the mid 2000s. I didn't see anything better until gpt came along!

- nurettin 10mo agoYes, I made one using bitlbee back in the 2000s, good times!
- pavel_lishin 10mo agoI made one for Hipchat at a company. I can't remember if it could emulate specific users, or just channels, but both were definitely on my roadmap at the time.
- lloydatkinson 10mo agoI'm hoping someone can find it so I can bookmark it but I once read a story about a company that let multiple markov chain bots loose in a Slack channel. A few days later production went down because one of them ran a Slack command that deployed or destroyed their infrastructure.

- lacunary 10mo agoah, probably so, looks like there were eggdrop scripts for megahal, thanks!
