Changelog - Version 5.7.3 (2026-01-28)

Version Information

• Updated version from 5.7.2 to 5.7.3
• Critical bug fix for AI response functionality

Bug Fixes

• Fixed AI Self-Response Loop Issue
  • Resolved issue where AI was responding to its own messages
  • Added check to prevent AI from processing messages sent by itself
  • When the AI includes @botofthespecter in its responses, it will no longer trigger another AI response
  • Prevents infinite loop of the bot talking to itself

Technical Details

• The AI response handler was checking for bot mentions (@botofthespecter) but wasn’t verifying if the message author was the bot itself
• Added early return check: if message.author.name.lower() == self.nick.lower()
• The check logs the event with “Ignoring AI mention from bot itself” for debugging purposes
• Check is placed immediately after detecting the bot mention but before processing the message
• This ensures efficient early exit before any AI response generation occurs
