This actually fixes 2 issues. Fixes https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14 Fixes https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/17 When people enable transcribe-only mode and the bot replies outside of a thread, messages will no longer look like this: `> 🦻 Transcribed text`. Instead, they will: - look like this: `Transcribed text` - get an emoji reaction (🦻) sent by the bot itself, to indicate that the message is a transcription --------------------------------------- As https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14 discusses, the `> 🦻` prefixing of messages also served the purpose of indicating to the bot that this is not its own message, but rather something it "heard" from a user. Given that out-of-thread replies no longer include this, they could be mistaken for bot messages. Because transcribed messages are posted as notice messages, we can easily tell them apart from regular text-generated messages by the bot itself, so we can (and do) treat them differently. Thankfully, the bot does not yet support building a text-generation conversation from arbitrary messages (something discussed in https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/15), so these out-of-thread replies having the wrong owner are not an issue for now. If we do land support for this, we'll probably need to make the bot inspect such notice messages posted by it, inspect their reactons and attribute them properly (🦻 -> user message).
baibot
🤖 baibot is an AI (Large Language Model) bot for Matrix built by etke.cc (managed Matrix servers).
The name is pronounced 'bye'-bot and is a play on AI, referencing the fictional character 🇧🇬 Bai Ganyo.
It's designed as a more private and featureful alternative to matrix-chatgpt-bot. It's influenced by chaz, but does not use the AIChat CLI tool and instead does everything in-process, without forking.
