[April fools' day] ShyChat: No more shy when playing on BGA thanks to OpenAI

[goldensmith]

I’m still in denial that March has begun….this year is moving way too quickly! I didn’t realize tomorrow is the start of April! I seriously thought this must have been released too early. Surely this was meant to go out next weekend for April fools…oh my April is here!

Opt me opt me out. Like others, surely this is an April Fool's joke. If it's not it should be. No thank you!

This is freaking hilarious! I salute the person who thought this up.

April 1 is alive...

Sooo good!. Had me genuinely fooled for the first third of the article.
Wasn't and early ones for those of us that live in the Oceanic region - perfect timing. Love it!

After spending about fifteen hours using this feature, I found two bugs while using this feature.

1) Mode Switching.
On 87.5% of the games I played, my ShyChat changed from whatever setting it was (including the "Do not Switch to Flirting Mode Mode") on to the flirting mode. It resulted in several embarrassing games as I (well, ShyChat) "flirted" with my opponents.

2) Apparent Unawareness of the Played Game.
During the beginning of a game I was playing, ShyChat started saying, "Well, this has been a great game, and I enjoyed playing with you." It also repeated itself constantly, resulting in another embarrassing moment.

All in all, I think ShyChat is a terrible feature that should not be allowed because of the crippling bugs I encountered while using it.

Hey everyone BGA is about *human* interaction so chat with opponents or teammate but don't do it yourself let a bot do it for you...

LOL

I hope there is a mute option. I don't mind a greeting or two at the beginning of a game, but for the most part I prefer opponents who are silent and want to play more than talk. So I don't want my chat box filled with some player's AI making ongoing commentary.
