I have my own opinions, but would like to get some discussion around this while we formulate our policy.

I think if you want to keep the site operating with the personal connection and relationships that exist today, my vote would be "no". Not that I do not see value in AI, because I do. But I think in some places we are better served by still having the personal connection. Plus, I have seen AI fail to properly interpret things and provide bad advice way too many times due to the fact not all of the data AI pulls from his accurate.

No thanks. I like the engagement with real people here, which is what makes this platform special, we don't really want to talk to SearchfunderAI. It would be cool to utilize the collective knowledge of all the posts and questions here to answer new questions via bot (the same way google search does it), but I think it might capture too outdated information, given how much the SBA has changed reqs.
