I guess how the question is phrased 'where do you feel like AI/ML has the
best fit in Fedora' assumes the responder will choose where they feel it
works best as top choice, and least-best (terrible English :) ) as last, so
reviewers of the survey would likely assume 'oh the <something> option
scored lowest, that means people really don't see AI/ML as suiting that use
case so we shouldn't focus any energy on this option'.

Like I said, it really is great feedback because the tone of the question,
while deliberately trying to be positive because this is such a
controversial topic in and of itself, didn't raise this issue of needing a
'doesn't fit at all'  option when the survey questions were reviewed before
going live, and that's something we can take forward for the contributors
survey too for question structuring.



The only reluctance I have on scrapping this survey and changing that
question and then relaunching is that I don't want it to be spammy, because
I'm sure a lot of folks have already completed the current one and there's
still the contributor survey too to be launched, but if folks are having a
terrible that with that question I'm particular, then I will and hope you
give me another few mins of your day again to fill it back out :)
