Got another shower-thought.... Bit related to the whole 'what's the long-term plan' thing, but it goes something like this: 

- In order to have 'a community', you need to have some minimum amount of recognition, I think. So, at the very least, some kind of 'hey, I've seen that username before'. 
- If the 'long-term' goal is somehow focused/related to AI/LLM, human-reviewed or even 'answer assistants' going off on their own -> that's all "bot"

So, what happens to "community" when you only have askers, that get their answers from "previous content" (the old 'community') regurgitated by software? I've seen some comments somewhere about how users expect to interact with other users, not a system (duplicate closure), so how's the AI/LLM different from "a system"/"a duplicate" in terms of human interaction? Also, an AI trained on SE data should only regurgitate what's already there, so everything is a duplicate? 

To make it very philosphical: Long-term, what's the use for volunteer humans? (paid ones already do the AI training/piloting, so... exploiting volunteers for that is something I'm leaving out of the possibilities for now ;-) ).
