We have planned to add an option to control the creation of multiple
output buffers for `async-shell-command'.  The question is in its
default value.  Maybe it should ask a question: "Create a new buffer?"

Or better would be to ask for a new buffer name:

  Async shell buffer (default *Async shell*<2>):

like `C-u M-x shell RET' already does:

  Shell buffer (default *shell*<2>):
