Doomer is a GPT-3-powered Discord chatbot for group chats. It occasionally interrupts the current conversation and can also complete text, simulate channels, and produce extended monologues.

The project explored what happens when a language model is treated as an ambient participant in a shared room rather than a private question-and-answer interface.
