Okay. Using AI is fine to help you out, but the human-focussed bits should really rather be written in a way that it feels like we're talking to a human. We're a community here, and when you see text that is so obviously written by an AI it can get very frustrating eventually.

We've seen a strong uptick in threads that are obviously AI generated, only, and at times it just feels like one is merely talking to a prompt. This just doesn't scale well, as it leads to constant iterations and back and forth without much thinking being involved. So we require the other side to stop every once in a while and invest the necessary time, too. Otherwise the community will simply stop working, and that doesn't serve anyone well.

Sorry if I came across as harsh.
