Various clients (including newer versions of Element Web), do not like it when the `body` field of the attachment is not a file name. For images, a preview may not be shown and downloading the attachment may suggest that the whole long text is used as a filename (which is odd). There is value (improved accessibility, etc.) in adding better descriptions (especially to generated images), but given that it's currently problematic, I'm getting rid of it. It's better and safer if we stick to using filenames.
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.
