Since the rise of AI, humans have become afraid of asking other humans for help.
This can be seen in this community as well: the number of questions posted decreases.
Here's a screenshot from Gemini. As you can see, it correctly answers the question. So you could conclude that there's no need anymore to post your questions in this community...
Why bother humans when you can ask a bot?
Here are a few reasons why posting your questions (and your videos!) in this community makes sense:
-it helps other users that have the same question
-it inspires other users that didn't know this was possible at all
-it tells us which features are being used
-it tells us which features should be improved/optimized/made easier to use
-it tells us which parts of the user guide should be improved
Also:
-you are anonymous in this community
-our mascot is NOT a bot, it's an 👽!
Thank you!
When looking at web traffic, the bots have already taken over. Here are the august 2026 stats for this site:
-registered (logged in) humans: 1%
-unregistered humans: 34%
-bots: 65%
The 65% bots includes the Google web crawler that has scanned our website to be able to answer the question in the above screenshot.

E poi, la precisione della risposta, toglie il gusto di provare, sbagliare, sperimentare, confrontarsi, discutere....

The most powerfull thing in my life lies in the real facial contact with other PEOPLE. If that not's possible a personal call, app or contact in the community is the second best.
Real and pure (eye) contact acknowledges that we exist and are valuable n the eyes of others.
It's part of our being

when searching help outside of areas touched by Materia you need help, In lot of cases the answer is not correct.
