    "I'm Bard, a large..." - Business Rigor or Community Warmth? Your Input Needed

    "I'm Bard, a large..." - Business Rigor or Community Warmth? Your Input Needed

    What makes it even more bizarre is the post where the user appeared to be an AI bot: Unless it is satire. Does Acorn really need ai bots to look active?
