Discord to Shut Down AI Chatbot Clyde
Introduced earlier this year, the experimental feature's future remains uncertain after its scheduled deactivation at the end of November.
- Discord is shutting down its AI chatbot, Clyde, by the end of November.
- Clyde was introduced earlier this year as an experimental feature powered by OpenAI technology.
- Users could invoke Clyde in chat for various tasks such as answering questions, providing tutorials, or telling jokes.
- Some users complained that their servers never got access to the bot and it could be coaxed into using inappropriate language.
- Discord has not clarified the reason for Clyde's shutdown, but it may return as a paid feature or the company may have decided it is unnecessary.
