Separate community for AI coding? (programming.dev)

I've been thinking, would it be worth creating a separate community for AI coding related articles and discussion? I know there is !Aii@programming.dev, however AI coding has a lot of overlap with !programming@programming.dev.

I know some people have expressed they aren't interesting in reading these articles, so a separate community would make it easier for them to filter them out. Rather than simply vote them down as they aren't interested in the topic.

Or is it better to have broad communities in Lemmy given the current number of users?

I think !programming is not the place for ai-programming related content. Most people in this community will just downvote or ignore anything concerning ai-programming, so that the topic will never have a chance to be discussed in this community.

So if you want to make it possible for interested people to talk about the subject, a dedicated community is a must.

Is this answer generated? It doesn't say anything OP didn't address already.

No, I'm just a classic idiot. I don't need any of those fancy new tools for that.
