Do you think there should be The Samba AI? Perhaps Everett could make an AI version using all the threads information and photos, for a version of The Samba that would answer all questions and provide technical and historical information.
Or is this a terrible idea? Because AI is going to ruin everything.

I can make it easier than AI, whenever someone posts a question there's an automated reply
"Use the search"
It's that simple.

You can simply ask the AI overlord of your choosing to search only thesamba.com. Saves Everett from having to "sell his soul".
I'm not critical, promise.

No comparison.
AI is not interactive. It's a one-way communication. And it lies and hallucinates.
Nothing better than the Samba threads with Q&A, related links, good stories.
Information is stickies and archives have been thoroughly vetted by the best VW minds on the planet.
AI can't do that.

HA! I meant the scanned documents, brochures, how-to's, etc.
The threads, well eventually the full truth comes out, but there is noise along with the signal. Pays to wait a few days for the dust to settle.

Samba needs a "like" button before AI gets its hands on the place
