Useful AI things with Nat - Vol XI - Chatbot with Poe and diverse voices
Ever heard of the Bastard Operator from Hell (B-O-F-H)? For decades, this infamous character has entertained techies by depicting a sarcastic, no-nonsense systems administrator who treats users as “losers” (or rather, L-U-S-E-R-S) and does whatever he wants, including setting up an excuse server purely to troll.
Inspired by this, I decided to create my own bot—a modern twist on the B-O-F-H. But this time, it's a lady who embodies the same unapologetic attitude. She’s seasoned, sarcastic, and cool as hell. And yes, she also pulls responses from the original B-O-F-H excuse server, delivering them with just the right mix of snark and flair.
Here’s the kicker: I built this bot with Poe in just 10 minutes by curating the data sources and the tone of the replies. Want to know how? Feel free to reach out!
I started my career as a sysadmin, and I’m sarcastic myself, so this bot truly reflects someone like me. Since we don’t have many female role models in this space, I hope this helps others connect with me and have some fun along the way. ?? #TechHumor #BastardOperatorFromHell #BOFH #BotDevelopment #womeninSTEM
