GPT-3 Discord Chatbot

A Discord bot that uses OpenAI's GPT-3 model to engage in casual conversations with users. The bot maintains context by reading previous messages and responds in a casual, friendly manner.

Features

• Integration with OpenAI's GPT model (text-davinci-002)
• Contextual responses based on conversation history
• Automatic message formatting
• Error handling for API connection issues

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• Discord Bot Token
• OpenAI API Key

Required Python Packages

pip install nextcord
pip install openai

Setup

1. Create a Discord bot and get your token from the Discord Developer Portal

2. Get an OpenAI API key from the OpenAI Platform

3. Create two files in your project directory:

   • discord_token.txt: Contains your Discord bot token
   • openai_api_key.txt: Contains your OpenAI API key

Configuration

The bot has several configurable parameters at the top of the script:

bot_id = 964775186157154344  # Your bot's Discord ID
your_id = 0  # Your Discord user ID
message_amount = 5  # Number of previous messages to include for context

Usage

1. Run the bot:

python bot.py

2. The bot will respond to all messages in channels it has access to, except:

   • Messages from itself
   • Messages from specified ignored users

3. Commands:

   • The bot uses "." as its command prefix
   • Currently no specific commands implemented

How It Works

1. Message Processing

   • Bot reads the last message_amount messages for context
   • Formats messages with user identifiers
   • Builds a conversation prompt for GPT

2. GPT Integration

   • Uses OpenAI's text-davinci-002 model
   • Temperature set to 1 for creative responses
   • Maximum response length of 20 tokens
   • Automatically retries on connection errors

3. Response Formatting

   • Removes empty lines
   • Maintains casual, lowercase style
   • Preserves conversation flow

Response Format

The bot structures its prompts as follows:

The following is a Discord conversation with a friend. Use internet language and all lowercase.
[User1]: message1
[User2]: message2
You: [bot's response]

Error Handling

The bot includes handling for:

• OpenAI API connection issues
• Empty responses
• Message formatting issues

Customization

You can modify:

1. message_amount: Change how many previous messages to include
2. OpenAI parameters:
   • temperature: Adjust response creativity (0-1)
   • max_tokens: Modify response length
3. Message formatting style
4. Ignored user IDs

Security Notes

• Keep your Discord token and OpenAI API key secure
• Don't share the token/key files
• Monitor API usage to manage costs
• Consider implementing rate limiting
