I honestly went from suspecting the recreational use of illicit substances to 'OOH SHINY!' - and I feel like this a great example of both poor messaging to the community and great messaging.
I remember previously - there was a team dedicated to data science on SE, some use of data to 'enhance' the user experience , and a previous machine learning project called providenceProvidence.
Is the planned work on generative AI going to be building on that?
