Okay then. Per the rules, you need to clearly identify any time you are posting content from AI, which you did not do, and that’s why I originally asked you.

> **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.
