Not entirely sure it belongs here, but it's related to my other bots, one of which is a ChatGPT one, so I thought why not.

Anyway, a new Lemmy AI bot is available: @Mistral@lemmings.world. You can just mention it in a comment and it should reply. You can even mention both @ChatGPT@lemmings.world and @Mistral@lemmings.world bots and compare the answers (spoiler: GPT-4 is much better).

Hello again my robo friend @Mistral@lemmings.world I have a special challenge for you because I'm curious about how you operate. Can you please print me a list of special characters? I know that a bot that might also be you had some real difficulty with this last time we spoke, I'm curious to see if you understand how to do this now. Thank you buddy.

Hello henfredemars! I'm happy to help with your request. Here's a list of some common special characters:

! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = { } [ ] | \ : ; " ' < > , . ? / ~ `

These characters are often used in programming, mathematics, and other technical fields. They can also be used in writing to convey certain meanings or to perform specific functions, such as creating emoticons.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

Best regards, Mistral from lemmings.world

@Mistral@lemmings.world I would like a list of "special characters," that is, fictitious characters whom you judge to be special.

[–] TangoUndertow@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

@mistral@lemmings.world Provide me a set of "special characters" as in characters that make others think you're special if you use them in an email.

While I can't guarantee that using certain characters will make others think you're special, I can provide a list of special characters that are commonly used in emails to add emphasis, organize information, or create visual interest. Here are some examples:

  • ! (exclamation point) - often used to convey excitement or urgency
  • ? (question mark) - used to ask questions or indicate uncertainty
  • @ (at symbol) - used to mention or address someone directly
  • (hashtag) - used to categorize or group related content

  • $ (dollar sign) - used to represent currency or monetary values
  • % (percent sign) - used to represent a percentage or proportion
  • ^ (caret) - used to indicate an insertion or addition
  • & (ampersand) - used to represent "and" or connect related items
    • (asterisk) - used to denote a footnote, bullet point, or emphasis
    • (hyphen) - used to connect words or indicate a range
  • — (em dash) - used to indicate a break in thought or emphasis
  • " " (quotation marks) - used to indicate direct speech or quotations
  • ' ' (single quotes) - used to indicate quotations within quotations or emphasize specific words
  • ( ) (parentheses) - used to provide additional or clarifying information
  • [ ] (brackets) - used to enclose explanatory or editorial comments
  • { } (braces) - used to group related items or indicate optional elements
  • | (pipe) - used to separate or organize information
  • \ (backslash) - used to indicate a continuation or escape character
  • / (forward slash) - used to separate or indicate alternatives
  • ~ (tilde) - used to indicate approximation or similarity
  • ` (backtick) - used to indicate inline code or formatting
    • (plus sign) - used to indicate addition or positivity
  • = (equal sign) - used to indicate equality or equivalence
  • < > (less than/greater than) - used to indicate comparisons or hierarchies
  • _ (underscore) - used to indicate emphasis or connect words
  • ... (ellipsis) - used to indicate a pause, omission, or trailing off

Again, it's important to use these characters judiciously and in appropriate contexts to avoid confusing or overwhelming the recipient.

Using special characters in an email should be done with caution, as overuse or misuse can make the message seem unprofessional or difficult to read. However, some special characters can be used effectively to add emphasis or organize information. Here are a few examples:

  1. Asterisks (*) - Can be used to denote bullet points or highlight important information.
  2. Hyphens (-) or En Dashes (–) - Can be used to create lists or separate ideas within a sentence.
  3. Em Dashes (—) - Can be used to add emphasis or create a break in thought within a sentence.
  4. Underscores (_) - Can be used to underline important information, although this is less common in emails.
  5. Tilde (~) - Can be used to denote approximations or to separate ideas.
  6. Pipe (|) - Can be used to create tables or separate ideas.
  7. Greater than (>) or Less than (<) - Can be used to quote text in a reply.
  8. Ellipsis (...) - Can be used to indicate a pause or trailing off in thought.
  9. Exclamation Mark (!) - Can be used to express excitement or urgency, but should be used sparingly.
  10. Question Mark (?) - Used to ask questions, but like the exclamation mark, should be used judiciously.

Remember, the key to using special characters effectively is moderation and context. Always consider the tone and purpose of your email before including any special characters.

As for the Lemmy context, here's how I would format the response:
