Every little mmo guild had their own community forums.
Now everything is freaking discord… I like discord to a point.
For guild stuff I would still prefer forums the good old phpBB - I made so many different skins for it, then the e107 sites…
I haven’t thought about elthem for almot 20 yrs… Still have some backups somewhere.
There’s a pretty great discord server for my profession. I would love it so much more on a message board. Searching something then wading through other people talking in the middle of trying to read troubleshooting information sucks!
Assuming random messages on Discord are accurate is pretty bold to begin with.
LLM agents do get things wrong, but if it’s something you can verify it is a lot faster to let the LLM try, check it out, and if it failed let it try again, vs slogging through hundreds of pages of “maybe there’s something in here I need” reading them yourself.
The other advantage the agent has is that it can literally skim months or years of history and correlate what are the most common answers, found in contexts most relevant to your situation, where you’re more likely to have search fatigue by the time you find the first statement that might apply…

I know what you mean.
Tho nobody stops you from building that website ;)
My ADHD and lack of ability do 🤣
Sounds like an actual good use for AI summaries, if the AI can get the stuff you need separated from the irrelevant conversation.
Then you have to either assume it’s accurate which is a damn bold assumption, or you have to read through it yourself to know anyway.
