Re: Proposal for the New Top-Level Hierarchy ai.* - Artificial Intelligence

Hi Bingo3331,

We’d love your input on how to make this naming inclusive from the
start—perhaps a parallel `ia.*` alias for French-speaking peers? Our
goal isn’t to impose "ai" globally but to create a hub that can
evolve with contributions from communities like yours.

Thanks for your detailed answer and having shared your thoughts about the proposals.  May I ask whether you use AI to help to write your messages?
I definitely do not recommend parallel hierarchies like ia.* for French-speaking people nor ki.* for German-speaking people, etc.

Posting in `it.*` or `comp.*` is a great start, but
a new hierarchy offers visibility and structure that scattered efforts
can’t match. It’s a chance to attract new users—drawn by AI’s buzz—who
might then explore `fr.*`, `de.*`, or `uk.*`.

Usenet lacks visibility in results from search engines, so I wonder why it wouldn't also be the case for a new ai.* hierarchy.  People would have to find it, and be provided with an easy modern way to read and post messages.

Julien, your expertise with `fr.comp.ia` makes you a perfect ally.
What if we collaborated?  Could we tweak the proposal—maybe adjust naming
or scope—to win your backing?

Thanks for the kind proposal.  I am afraid I do not have enough spare time to properly handle the subject, and also other priorities.
