📊 Changes & Improvements

🍑 ButtsBot Syllable Rewriter

• Rewritten to replace random syllables in user messages with "butt" (instead of nouns/adjectives).
• Uses the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (CMUdict) to detect syllable count accurately.
• Custom text splitter preserves punctuation, casing, and spacing.
• No longer relies on OpenNLP POS tagging.
• Example: phenomenon → phenobuttnon.

🧠 Improved Tokenization

• Replaces simple space-based word splits with a character-aware tokenizer that:

  • Distinguishes words vs. punctuation
  • Handles ™, —, and symbols correctly
  • Maintains full message fidelity

🔍 Reliability & Behavior

• Messages that aren’t changed by ButtsBot are ignored (no unnecessary output).
• Always preserves original casing: e.g. SuPeRfLuOuS → BuTtFlOuOuS
• 5% chance per syllable to be replaced — adjustable in future releases

⚡ Known Issues (Still Present)

• AskAI still requires a running local GPT4All server with llama3-8b-instruct
• No Twitch reconnect on hard disconnect — restart app to recover
