You can get an AI to generate a working bot surprisingly quickly now. The annoying part comes later. APIs change. Authentication expires. Websites redesign themselves. Requests fail. Databases get messy. Something randomly breaks at 3 AM. That's why I think we're going to see more people focusing on monitoring and reliability rather than just building bots.

What's the first thing you add to a bot once it becomes something you actually depend on?

Remember when computers were the luxury thing? Now they’re everywhere and basically invisible but nobody’s impressed by “I own a laptop” anymore.

I think AI is heading the same way. It gets so common, so good, so baked into everything that it stops being a “thing” at all. It just disappears into the background, like electricity or wifi. Nobody says “wow, AI” anymore, the same way nobody says “wow, computer.”

And when that happens, the rare thing won’t be AI-made stuff. It’ll be human-made stuff.

Human skill, human attention, a person who actually did the thing themselves : that becomes the flex. Not because AI can’t do it, but because AI can, and choosing the human version anyway is what makes it valuable.

AI won’t keep climbing forever like it feels like now. It’ll peak, then fade into invisibility. And humans doing human things will become the new premium.

I've been seeing people call GPT-6 Astra AGI because of some of the new benchmark results and honestly I'm not sure I'd go that far yet. One number especially caught my attention though the SpatialBench result being shared around is 91.8% compared with an 80% human baseline. I couldn't find that exact figure in OpenAI's published evaluation tables so I'd treat that specific claim as unverified for now.

What is definitely real is that Astra is being positioned as a major jump in computer use, browsing, software engineering and multi-step tasks. OpenAI says it reaches 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3 and can handle complex workflows across code and browsers.

That's the part that actually interests me for BotNation. If AI can reliably understand a task and operate tools instead of just answering questions then bots and automation start looking very different.

Do you think we're actually getting close to AGI or are we still confusing really strong benchmarks with general intelligence?

This is something I've seen people get way too invested in. Donating to a streamer is completely fine when you're supporting their content and genuinely enjoy watching them. The problem starts when someone keeps sending money because they think it's eventually going to lead to a personal relationship.

A streamer being friendly to you during a stream doesn't automatically mean there's something more going on. Being noticed in chat or getting a nice response can easily feel personal when you're watching someone regularly.

Support creators because you like their content. Don't spend money expecting attention or a relationship in return.

Have you ever seen someone get way too emotionally invested in a streamer because of donations or chat interactions?

I had one of those tiny tasks that takes maybe 5 minutes to do manually so naturally I decided to automate it instead. A few hours later I had a script a workflow and a bunch of little things to fix.

It works now but honestly I probably could have finished the original task ten times by then.

I still don't regret building it though because now that it's done I never have to think about that annoying task again.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve automated even though doing it manually would’ve been faster?

What are the best telegram bots specifically made for telegram user search? russian bots also work.

I swear every subscription is slowly getting more expensive. Now YouTube Premium is joining the list with another round of price increases in several countries after the US hike earlier this year. Some international plans are going up around 10–15% and existing users will start seeing the new price from billing dates on or after September 23.

I get that prices change but YouTube is one of those services I use almost every day so cancelling it would actually be annoying.

At what price would you finally say Premium isn't worth it anymore?

I can watch a 20 minute YouTube video and actually remember it later. Then I open Shorts and somehow 40 minutes disappear without me remembering a single video.

The funny part is that both are on the same platform but the way they feel is completely different.

I wonder if creators are eventually going to have to choose between building a real audience with long form content and chasing reach with Shorts.

Which side of YouTube do you actually spend more time on?

I had a small browser automation running perfectly for weeks and then one morning it just stopped working.

Nothing was wrong with my code as far as I could tell. Turns out the website had changed one tiny part of the page and my script couldn't find the button anymore.

It's funny because the automation itself was simple. The annoying part was making it survive changes.

That's probably something people don't talk about enough when they start building bots. Getting something to work once is easy. Keeping it working is the real project.

Has one tiny website change ever completely destroyed one of your automations?
