We should add AI blocks to scratch.
Please provide constructive feedback instead of just saying “AI BAD YOU SUCK”

For example:

Ask AI ()

(AI response)

Tell AI as prompt ()

Maybe other stuff?

This used to be an extension on Scratch labs for this but got removed due to OpenAI credits draining REALLY FAST

Funny fact, I suggested this and it got paddled.
Sorry, you have to wait 60 seconds between posts.

what is the purpose of having the AI blocks? why should it be added to Scratch?

You could make NPCS in games, or make a chat bot.

I was thinking you could make a multiplayer game with AI chat some how

I have an idea for an AI extension

set tone to [friendly v]::extension

You can set the tone to mean, honest, sad, angry, excited, and idk what else

this would get very expensive very fast, additionally it would probably get scratch blocked by a lot of schools since people would use it as an unblocked chatGPT

There is already text to speech

I mean like how the AI acts, not how the AI speaks.

The AI Blocks in Scratch Lab had a similar feature:

set system prompt ()::extension

here's a tool that lets you bring your own ai to scratch

LLM tokens can be very expensive, especially if a project is using up tons of them. Also, having a full chatbot type AI available could introduce a lot of concerns regarding safety, accuracy, bias, etc.

They experimented with that.

I for one, tested it out, and it was too easy to become hatman with it (minus the spamming). It was also too easy to get it to say prejudice and bad words.

I also experimented with Scratch's possible future collab, which focused PRIMARILY to teach kids about machine learning.. It was also easy to become hatman with it.

So how would this work? Surely, because of their limited resources, Scratch wouldn't exactly get above the standard?

If its local, it may reduce costs, but it may not remove the problem of hatman existing.

Before anyone mentions the CLA.. the CLA does not go on that much of a variety of topics, so it is not likely to do this.
Your suggestion however, goes on very much a variety of topics. Its likely to do this.
