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.

Overview

  • 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.
