Artificial intelligence (AI). AI-generated responses must be clearly marked as such. Do not use AI to generate entire posts. AI responses are often unreliable – if you use them as the primary source for your assertions, you’re likely to get a lot of flak on this board.

I wasn’t even trying to bring it up as a junior mod or anything, just trying to make sure, because it matters. Nor did I report you, because I wasn’t trying to be a rules lawyer or anything.

No, it’s not a “distinction without a difference”, you need to identify when something is from AI. Don’t be an asshole.
