Yesterday I tried to setup my own version of OCRbot@fedi.lynnesbian.space, which does #OCR on pictures attached to posts on the #Fediverse, which I find an intriguing idea. During the process to set this up I was lazy and asked #ChatGPT to guide me through the whole process, which is fairly easy to be honest, but I an playing around with this #AI for fun.
I wanted to run the OCR #bot on my own #Friendica server, because I like to run on my own tech too.
So I asked Chatty to guide me and it worked well, I logged in with the Python bot and wanted to start it and got an API error, it was only then when I told ChatGPT that I am actually trying this with Frienidca and that the API might have its limits.
I then looked up the API documentation of the Mastodon API that Friendica implemented and asked ChatGPT if there is any essential parts missing that are needed to run the bot.
ChatGPT 'read' the documentation of both, the bot and the Mastodon API of Friendica and explained:
"Since Friendica doesn't support the Mastodon streaming API, the OCRbot, which relies on these endpoints, may not be compatible with Friendica without significant modifications to either the bot or the Friendica server."
Just wanted to write a bit about this experience with Friendica, the bot and ChatGPT.
Maybe I will setup a #Pleroma instance for this, a single user instance for me and the bot, maybe better a Mastodon instance?

•@Shelenn Ayres no, that is a different thing, it is more something for the cases that have no caption. Just try it, you need to mention OCRbot@fedi.lynnesbian.space and followed by a three letter language code, ie. for a picture with English text like this:
OCRbot@fedi.lynnesbian.space eng
For English it can be omitted to specify the language.
