Proposed rule: cut-and-paste from AI must be in quote box

Continuing the discussion from What were you THINKING?:

This is a faceless, anonymous message board. All you have is the text you write - it’s not only what you say, as far as the rest of us are concerned, it’s who you are. That’s why the text of your post is supposed to be something you yourself wrote.

So if you’re quoting someone or some thing, put it in a quote box.

I’ll endorse this and go so far as to say it should be enshrined as a rule on this board.

This is an excellent idea and should get some discussion outside the BBQ Pit. To repeat for emphasis.

Proposed rule:
If you’re quoting something not written by yourself, put it in a quote box. This could be text from another poster or copied from another source, such as another website or an AI chatbot.
