I don't really understand why people get so offended and care so much about using AI or not....
You know what's strange, when they get a neutral or a negative tag for using AI for posting, they are being very upset and in many cases stop posting or try to remove a tag. Right, moderators rarely ban for AI posting, so those who use it risk mainly to get a tag. If a tag and posts deletion is not a problem, then why not? Let's wait until it will become a huge problem for forum and there will be a huge clean up, right?
LoyceV said that right: if I'd like to talk to chat bot, I'd talked to it directly. No need in cheating me and passing off bot's words as user's own ones.
There are some known forum members that admitted using Google translate (despite knowing English) in order to express themselves better so that woulnd't been something we haven't seen before.
It is a very common thing. Many users use online translators because they are self-doubt in their level of English. I can usually see that someone has very good English in general and despite that they make so silly mistakes, that it shows that it is definitely a result of online translator. Not a big problem as it is anyway an idea of the one who wrote it and it is still understandable. I guess their grammar is usually better than mine as I write by myself and my English is so far from that of native speakers!
