Discord seeks to solve a problem that it created


Conversations on Discord can be hard to follow. Discord SVP Peter Sellis proposes making forum-like features, or using AI summaries.

Sometimes, there’s value in more incremental, organized commentary in a forum, as opposed to the rapidity of real-time, casual chats on Discord, which can flood users with an overwhelming number of unread messages and potentially obscure the most useful information. But culture among Discord users varies so widely that the embrace of AI could simultaneously excite and enrage its audience. With LLMs, Sellis said, Discord could take a long, meandering conversation and turn it into “something that could be more sharable and syndicated across the web.” However, he said that he and his team hadn’t “seen a solution that we feel great about yet.”
