I'm posting this thread because of two add-ons released on XenForo today.

https://xenforo.com/community/resources/021-chatgpt-quick-reply-bot.9077/
The first one seems less harmful. It filters messages and decides what's spam using ChatGPT. The second one seems more dangerous. It can reply to first post in a thread.
The one I really want to discuss is the second one. One hand, the technology is amazing and has many use cases (not including forums). but the other hand, it has dangerous effects. It is now starting to make its way into forums. I can see a couple legitimate use cases. If you have a question/answer forum, ChatGPT can reply with the answer and the community can upvote/downvote the answer. It should be known that the answer is from ChatGPT.
But sooner, rather than later, I guaruntee you someone is going to make an add-on that fully mimics users and they have full on conversations. That part is scary, because the dialogue may get so good, that you won't be able to see what's real and what's not. Admins will be able to generate fake activity much more easily.
What's everyone opinion?
