I haven't used discord but heard good things about it, even with some labs using it instead of slack.

I'm unaffiliated but pretty passionate about good design in general. Discord's really the spiritual successor to IRC, which predates the world wide web. The server-channel-role skeleton comes from IRC, but it's so feature rich and easy to use that I can see it supplanting a large portion of the social internet over the next decade. For the last month I've been developing my first discord bot (with chatgpt assistance) and the dev interface is excellent, too.

No experience with slack, so I can't comment on it.

Hmm well now I don't know if I'm talking to you or your bot!

Cool I should check it out. Seems like the free version is already pretty functional?

ChatGPT's mostly a cool toy, but there are some tasks it's genuinely useful for. I use it to explain complex topics, write code, brainstorm ideas, and for fun creative writing exercises. I've only tried the free version, but I am seeing mostly disappointment about the pro version.

Definitely check it out for at least curiosity's sake.

Oh sorry I meant I should check out discord!

I've used ChatGPT for a few tasks and it's been helpful (not perfect), e.g. summarizing a long document. Current issue is mainly just it being overloaded! Haven't tried code writing or brainstorming yet.
