I created a thread with a controversial title to engage conversation….

Sometimes I get too involved and see problems and want to help solve them. (Even though it’s not my business 🙂 )

So I’m sorry and will back off…

Best wishes to all  
-Mike

It _is_ our business. We’re the ones using the tools, so we’re the ones that best understand how we’re using them, or sometimes, can’t use them. It’s important for Realmac to hear that. I think the real objection to the thread was the AI response you posted. AI does send things into rabbit holes sometimes. I’ve kept my responses here AI free, as it’s important for Realmac to hear what _I_ need and am saying.

It wasn’t the post or the title, it was the large AI/LLM dump you posted from Gemini (or whatever AI you use). Those aren’t helpful, so please refrain from posting them.

We don’t care what AI thinks, we **do** care what you think though.. 🙂 🫶

Don’t worry about it @MichaelDroste, you’re all good! As @differentdan has already said, we care more about your thoughts and what you have to say that an LLM ☺

Keep the feedback on Elements coming!
