That AI should have very huge historical material of human's questions, long tail including very silly ones, material to be processed in order to understand what people are interested in and care about. Just to be able to train such AI such long material should be kept at least for scientific purposes. | |

| Oct 2, 2020 at 13:29 | comment | added | Arty | Regarding having one Trash-like site for Misc questions - I think it should actually exist, for simple reasons - 1) if someone is interested in silly question then there is thousand of people around Earth who are interested too. 2) such questions should be kept at least just for history of human knowledge evolution, SE servers should easily handle storing millions of silly questions on their servers easily as they are just hundreds of bytes 3) there are sites like Quora/Reddit for Misc questions, but SE infrastructure is very good so why not to use it too for those whole likes it. | |

This is true not only for Misc site, but also for any SE site. Like right now I realized that there's a better SE site for my question as Area51, because it is meant for discussions and for new sites proposals. Decision on whether a question should be moved to another site probably should be done based on Voting system, same as Closing a question is decised based on voting. | |
