what in the ai-hell is this article? debian can still run 32-bit applications no problem and equating "i386" to "32-bit support" is just wrong.

What in the AI-hell is your comment about? If you don't know the difference from stopping supporting something, and then removing something, then you probably shouldn't rely on AI to help you understand something. You are just wrong... Try using a search engine...

Some distros do call their 32bit version i386.

Debian did drop 32 bit support. (although some 32 bit packages will exist)

i586 and i686 are still available and 32-bit.

https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/

"The legacy 32-bit PC (i386) architecture is supported only as a co-architecture for running 32-bit software on amd64"

You can't just install 32bit debian anymore.

Granted, bookworm will be supported for a while still.
