Hi Goffi,

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. I'll do the survey myself.

Please do step back from this if you're near burn-out. It isn't that nobody
sees an issue. Others have said the concern is real, and so have I. We're
disagreeing about the mechanism. That argument can go on without you
carrying it.

Also: you've seen AI-assisted submissions and you're explicitly not calling
them slop. That's useful, and it suggests we have some time.

Kind regards,

  Guus
