Discord is the latest brand to implement ChatGPT technology into its product as a move towards future AI functionality.
The server-based community plans to roll out a new feature for its chatbot Clyde next week, which will be available to a select number of servers with Discord alpha users. Those testers will be able to use Clyde as an assistant, by starting a thread for a group of your friends to hang out with, recommending playlists, accessing GIFs and more, according to a recent blog post.

Discord’s announcement comes on the heels of SalesForce revealing how it will implement ChatGPT technology into its own Slack messaging platform. Snapchat also recently announced an AI chatbot called My AI for its app.
However, the AI-infused Clyde chatbot has the potential to have the same problems and limitations as other products that use language models provided by ChatGPT’s parent company, OpenAI. The biggest example is Microsoft’s Bing Chat, which released its AI chatbot in February. Users were dealing with depressed and hesitant responses generated from chat in the early days of the preview, prompting Microsoft to put limits on chat number limits. Those restrictions are now being rolled back, apparently after a bit of work on the brand’s part.
Discord is aware of the possibility that its ChatGPT-based chatbot could follow a similar path, and advises users not to rely on Clyde for “advice, Discord support, or security issues.” Users will also receive a warning when they first opt to use the AI-updated Clyde.
In addition, the company is aware that due to the educated demographic of its users, there is a possibility that they will try to break the language models and force Clyde to say bad things or violate the terms of service. This is one of the main reasons why the company has done a slow rollout starting with alpha users from whom it can solicit feedback, Anjney Midha, head of Discord’s ecosystem, told The Verge in an interview.
Clyde isn’t the only area where Discord uses OpenAI technology. The company is also introducing AutoMod AI, which uses OpenAI technology to automatically moderate messages by understanding the context of the conversation. Discord is now rolling out this feature to a “limited number of servers”.
Discord also adds AI-generated chat summaries to catch you in long threads, as well as Avatar Remix, which lets you remix avatars for users on your server using generative AI.
