Lately is see people posting AI generated videos on YouTube, I see people posting essentially AI generated reviews on the SOTD here or clearly posting things plagiarized or telling them to blend outrageous combinations together. I don’t care about what AI or ChatGPT tells you to do. Put your nose to the frags and tell me what YOU think. Learn about the frag organically. Giving a dissertation that I have already read elsewhere tells me that you learned nothing from the frag. You cheapen the learning process and enjoyment. You don’t need a computer to tell you what you should like nor should you need a computer to explain to us what you supposedly think or know.

I have no problem if someone wants to use AI. I don't know their situation. Maybe they're clumsy with words or they're embarrassed about their ability to spell. Or maybe they're just lazy. Who cares. If they want to use AI or have their 3rd grade kid write their review, it makes no difference to me. And who am I to criticize someone else's choices. At the very least, they bothered to ask AI to write a report. If they copied and pasted, at least they're showing that even in the smallest way, they want to be part of this community. Bullying takes many forms. And let's not kid ourselves what this is. I've been bullied enough in my life to know it when I see it. If I don't want to read someone's copy and paste job, I won't read it. Seems like a better way to go than telling someone else how to behave. You wanna show someone how knowledgable you are? Fine. But don't bother if you're not going to be respectful about it. Let's keep our eye on the ball and have it as a given that certain comments are out of line. I know I may have crossed a line or two here and there, but I will do my best to watch myself going forward.
