Discord, a well-known interactive app, has made the unexpected announcement that Clyde, their experimental AI chatbot, will stop working on December 1. The features of Clyde in server chats, group DMs, and direct messages (DMs) will no longer be available to users.

As part of its initial efforts to investigate AI features, Discord unveiled Clyde. By utilising OpenAI's models, the chatbot was able to respond to queries and hold discussions with users. The business thanked users for their support and feedback and pledged to keep up its efforts to provide new features and experiences.

Users are confused by the unexpected decision to shut down Clyde because Discord did not give any clear explanation for the action. The platform has been aggressively testing a range of AI services, such as discussion summaries produced by AI, and has aimed to establish itself as a central location for AI developers.

Notably, Discord recently made other noteworthy announcements, such as its intention to fight malware by implementing temporary file links for all users by the end of the year. Every 24 hours, these file links will be refreshed, reducing the possibility of malware spreading and guaranteeing a safer environment for Discord users who share material on the network.

Discord's changing AI strategy and ongoing attempts to improve the user experience raise concerns about the platform's future course and its interaction with modern technologies.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp recently revealed a new Discord-like audio chat tool that would function similarly to group calls. However, starting voice chat will not ring all of the members in the group's phones, but will instead send a silent push notification. Users will be free to leave at any time, much like in Discord.
