We have a special mailing list for such Emacs "tangents":
emacs-tangents@gnu.org.  Please post this stuff there, and reserve
posting to this list for stuff that directly pertains to Emacs
development.  For example, with the issues you raise here, if you have
specific suggestions to provide such capabilities in Emacs, describing
that would be appropriate.  By contrast, articles about AI-related
developments out there, and who purchased whom and for how much, is
not appropriate.

Please help us keeping the signal-to-noise ratio of this list as high
as possible.

TIA
