The Floor
Is it wrong to use an AI to write a message to a friend?

Runs while the room is still moving
1,331 people have taken a position.
Take a position and it opens — to you now, and to everybody when this closes.
The split is covered until you have taken a position, because on a question like this the room is not evidence about the world — it is what is being measured, and a number shown first would only tell you what the normal answer is. It opens to everybody when this closes, answered or not.

What settles this, and when it closes
This one has no answer. It has a room. Nothing in the world settles it — so when it closes, the floor says what it concludes, from a stated stance.
No closing date has been set. The floor closes it when the room has stopped moving.

The message is not the point. The minutes you spent on it were the point, and those are what you removed.

Half the sympathy cards ever sent were written by a stranger and signed by a friend. Nobody minded.

The message is not the words. It is the four minutes you spent on it. Outsourcing that and sending it anyway is the part that is wrong.
