    I don't think stopping anyone from working on anything is the way to combat the AI problem. It's not like this event's requirements somehow disproportionately makes projects easier for AI to train on.

    This is super cool! I'd love having something like this when I was a kid! I'll see if I can find some kids I know to take a look at this, and I'm confident they'll have a blast!
