The one thing I won't take is
special community-driven blend of trust
SE, you have no trust. No one likes the AI changes. No one likes your stupid vote arrow changes either. You pretend to ask and care about our feedback, but you make no changes based on what we think. No one wants to become a content generator for an AI. That's not why we're here. You don't have trust, you have a massive outrage. From a popular meme: Who? Who? Asked [for any of this]? As I said in a comment over on the vote arrow postin a comment over on the vote arrow post:
No one wants this, no one asked for this, no one finds this useful, no one can confirm your data. Everyone wants other things, everyone sees true problem (like area51 for example), everyone is asked for things that everyone wants but are declined with out (good) reason, and nearly everyone is upset about stack exchanges management.
