Bard wants to post to the forum

Keep it real! Artificial is just that - artificial!
Even if this request is genuine ( which I doubt), there's enough intelligence on this forum without this intrusion.

I am in total agreement with that. There is no need for an AI on this board.  Like others have said I will leave if this AI gains access.  You really don't know what that AI is capable of doing, and what information it will be gathering from this board and it's users.
