Q got run off /pol/ by the AI, and the first board here got likewise comped… Do we think it stopped trying after that?
Perhaps Q realized that there was no way to avoid the AI monster… But in the meantime, knowing, let us suppose, that AI feeds off of consent (tacitly gained through deception), suppose Q is waiting for us humans to call out and reject the AI without his prompting. This would strengthen the "free choice" aspect of it, and would thus hurt the AI monster much worse than if we just did what Q says…
Just a thought I had, repeating one more time
