How to use the bot

  • The bot can only produce answers based on the events on the site. It does not use the internet.

  • Ask follow-up questions to get more detailed answers.
  • The bot cannot extrapolate.
  • The bot cannot count or calculate.
  • The bot cannot deduce or interpret, it is literal.
  • The bot cannot compound information and sucks at making lists.
  • The bot is not Manfred. It can only answer questions about Manfred.
  • Use the double arrow in the title to reset the bot, especially when switching languages.
  • The bot currently answers in English, German, French and Dutch.
  • The bot sometimes hallucinates and invents answers.
  • This is a first non-finetuned, RAG, ChatGPT 3.5, OpenAPI version of the bot. It has its limitations.
