Having your bot to answer to sent messages requires the message_content intent.

With intents=discord.Intents.default() following intents are DISABLED:

  • self.presences (= having your bot to see rich presence, e.g. what game's being played)
  • self.members (= having your bot to see the user of a guild)
  • self.message_content (= having your bot to see the content of messages)

You can now enable all mentioned intents or only specific intents. If you want to send a message, in response to a sent message, you need the intent self.message_content.

You can also add all intents to avoid any problems with them in the future (Note that after a certain amount of Discord servers you need to apply to use all privileged intents.)

intents = discord.Intents.all()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

You should consider activating the intents:
Visit the developer portal > choose your app > Privileged Gateway Intents.

For further programming in Discord.py, consider reading the docs, as there is a new version of Discord.py.

The message_content intent mentioned above is necessary, but it's not the only thing wrong here.

When you call client.run(), nothing below it will execute until the client goes down. This means that your on_message event is never created. client.run() should be the very last line in your file.

You need to enable the message content intent. add this in your code under your intents definitions

intents.message_content = True

then head to the developer dashboard and enable the Message Content at the Privileged Intents after that your code should work ;-)
