Look what Obama looked like when he entered office and how he looked when he left. And i bet being at the top of North Korea, surrounded by people who whould absolutely love to acquire your position by all means would be… well… a bit more stressful.
To hell with ‘AI’
Its IRC, it works, there is already a very mature ecosystem
Even if it would be published, MAGA would just claim that it is either AI generated or that it doesn’t matter.
Edit:
It i think about it and if i let loose my inner conspiracy theorist i could argue that this might even be the reason why AI is currently pushed everywhere: To give the ruling class the option to (somewhat) plausible deniability to call evidence of atrocious things that might surface may be just AI generated…
Also, blocking it entirely in your browser / firewall can do wonders in keeping one from relapsing… helped me personaly a lot.
But in the Fediverse you always have the option to walk away, join another instance or even host your own.

If the abominable intelligence is killing every corner of things we consider good its time to start killing the “AI”…
I just don’t like that Cthulhu like creature of unimaginable horrors called Systemd that thrusts its tentacles into every subsystem.
If they would produce a super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”, without tons of dark patterns and with a traditional UI… let’s say, a Windows 7 reboot with compatibility to modern software and released under a Free license… then I would honestly take a look.
Just to be a bit heretical: Its absolutely possible to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, look up Rufus, download the ISO from Microsoft and on you go.
I have managed to get it running on a NUC with a two core and 2 GB RAM after also running a debloat script.

This is fine, and one of the strong points of a diverse software ecosystem: Chose what works best for you.
COMMUNISM!
