Ben Katz
@ben
Revert #watchdog's AI model to the previous model because the new model was straight up dumb despite being much faster to respond
Ben Katz

Fix very stupid behavior where Telegram doesn't set their own "is bot" flag on system bots like "Telegram Notifications" which then caused Watchdog to not skip those messages -- tg's bot API was truly developed by people on hard drugs 🤦‍♂️ #watchdog

Update Q&A prompt to explicitly disallow financial/legal/medical advice and provide disclaimers, because some customers are abusing #watchdog and uploading docs that tell their users to buy a shitcoin
Ben Katz
@ben
Distinguish between error types (internal and user error), add separate alert messages for each when clicked, and update permission error logs to warn because they're not actionable by me #watchdog
