Thanks for the reply, and great to hear this affirmed by you two. I put a lot of thought into my responses, and my gut tells me that throwing out that data would be a waste.

For example, my current messaging platform does have automated responses and very basic AI-generated responses... both of which are almost never actually useful in a real-world conversation, in spite of putting in a number of hours to set up those 'automated' responses. I believe that is, in part, due to the fact that the AI is not 'learning' from my existing and new conversations.
