Since people have strong feelings about anything ai involved, I suggest creating dedicated ai discussion area.
It would have all ai related discussions so people who don't approve ai usage could avoid this area and we wouldn't have all the fights.
I think it would make moderators work much easier.
Rules would be simple no ai discussions on regular threads, and ranting in ai area would automatically get you banned.

You want to avoid disagreements and discussion? On the internet? Good luck!

Hi, that sounds reasonable on one hand, but on other hand it reminds me of former, stereotypical "whites only" spaces (cafés etc) from US media.
From my European point of view, I also grew up with the concept that democracy must be able to handle opposite views.
But this is a forum, of course.. Not exactly sure what to think, it's tough. Hm. 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't like the idea that a thread in one section can't mention AI nor that the moment its mentioned it "belongs" in the AI section.

AI is a huge and pervasive part of things now, including vintage games, computing, programming etc, there have been interesting discussions already in the middle of other regular threads, its fine

a programming / development section might be nice, and some AI for dev topics would naturally happen there

Still do not understand the viceral hate of fruits of AI. Soon we will have allmost all modern drivers for DOS and Windows 3.1x and 9x. Wtf is the harm?

Sorry but meaning of this thread is not to start any ai discussion.
There's plenty of reasons to hate ai living next to data centres, farmers not having water, elevated electricity prices... etc
And there's just as many benefits of ai.
But I don't think this is the place for those discussions, and easiest solution is not to prohibit discussion (North Korean way), but just separate folks. Time will smooth opinions eventually but now is just too early days for fruitful discussions.
