And another voice of agreement here, and as mentioned it would be a simple matter to prune the tag out manually.

I see no great redeeming features to this tag which has been used only 32 times on AU, although I note a few posts where it is the sole tag. Easy enough to remove it manually with such a small number of uses and I would support this.

@Nmath I am hoping for a resolution of this strike, with a meaningful policy available to Moderators and curators on the AI issue. Then we can work at renewing AU and its community whilst also getting rid of the cruft that has accumulated. The strike (coming up to 2 months soon!) has worn everybody down, except perhaps Stack Exchange, Inc. who continue with a certain blind obstinacy :(.

I suspect there are at least two things happening. The first and most obvious is the withdrawal of work by curators and Mods from AU during the strike period, this would account for the short term drop. The second cause relates to a longer term drop in usage (and quality of that usage) across the entire SE family. This is a worrying trend that has been going on for many years now. Not sure what the cause and solution to this big issue is...

I am still waiting for the call :)
