Hi Mike,
Thanks for starting this thread, here, brother!

...then, are you willing to call those *astrotufing* posters,
who already fllooded the RPD [1] mailing list with their
automated email, to come defend their own PoV (Point
of View) themselves here?

Brother, it appears that i have a clearly opposing view of the
future [2] of the world (FotW).

[2]: THE HOLY BIBLE | Revelation 22:6 Cross References: "And he said unto
me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits
of the prophets, sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which
must shortly come to pass."
<https://biblehub.com/crossref/revelation/22-6.htm>

So, do kindly allow me to suggest to refrain yourself in going
further in such a random speculative perspective; imho!
Your view is your; though...

Please, brother, when you decide to move a discussion of
this kind to a new place, be kind enough to at least describe
the problem as it exactly happened out there.

...anyone who want to check the open archives; would see
what's really at stake! AI as been identified as the tools which
empowered a bunch of newcommers with strong view on a
topic the have seemingly not heard prior to their subscription
to that mailing list.

Please, allow me to doubt that, even for the sake of luring for
more active participation, this community would hardly accept
to be flooded in such a way.

Your mealeage may vary!

...maybe (i) speed & (ii) automation are the key indicators
to follow; if one expect to find anything new under the sun :-/

Shalom,
