Hi everyone, BattleFlipper is ready for battle! I was able to restore all the settings successfully. I have ordered new remote controls because the ones I have now are damaged.

Too Much AI? How much AI involvement is too much when it impacts user engagement? For me, it becomes an issue when it feels restrictive. I've noticed that the Synthiam forum has become very specific and regulated. Recently, an AI system rewrote the content of my question and even changed the title, unfortunately in an incorrect manner. I haven't...
