I think someone had a bot that would post to some of the message areas as "Chad Gipiti" or something like that (ChatGPT)... I'd thought about doing what you are suggesting with a chat bot of "Elle Elim" (LLM) as the name, but would need a much smaller model so that it would be able to use CPU execution and not take a ton of memory.  I hadn't really dug into it though.  You'd really need to either make requests to an external service, or write your own terminal/console application to use as the chat bot itself, outside synchronet/js.

It's definitely doable though.  That said, it could be easy to overwhelm a system's resources, or incure some significant costs.
