I get that all conversations about AI/ML are controversial (at best)

But I have just realised that there's even another, and worst, point of
view:
you can say that Fedora Council has already decided on using AI/ML going
forward and only wants to know where implementing priorities will go...

Hope this isn't the case!

p.s. I won't be filling the survey as I can't proceed in good conscience
and will be happy for a new revision without "positive only" choices

Best,
Luís
