I don't think "mine" is the word, maybe "earn" would be more appropriate. Because it's not like you play a game to get merit or perform surveys. Two ways I know to earn merit is by;
✔️contributing thoughtfully and organically to posts on the forum
✔️ Creating and sharing valuable opinions on the forum.
AI generated content is frowned at, poor quoting and inappropriate responses are also frowned at and deleted. So yeah, you get to earn merit over time when you've built trust and authority by contributing reasonably to the forum discussion. So keep building here, sooner or later, I believe you'll earn merits ☺️

. Advice from someone who regularly uses AI?
It wouldn’t hurt you to listen to your lessons yourself, and it’s not necessary to tick off every post, especially since you don’t stick to them.

Because it was marked as AI content does not necessarily mean it is AI content, AI tools can be wrong. I'm not going to deny using AI tools to correct spelling and grammar errors or enhance content but the ideas and a while lot of the content is mine. Also, I already explained this to a moderator and have stopped using tools like Grammarly for contents here self.
And you know it would be hurt also for you to be a nice person, I always new to the platform and hard to learn how things work around here. I learnt and have adjusted, do you have a problem with that dear legendary member? Was it really worth the stress to go look up my profile and get out my post?
You know I thought legendary members here are exemplary people to follow but I guess not all. Please learn to correct newbies in a kind way, you don't have to bash anyone, you are a legendary member with lots of merits, what would you gain talking me down? I've had my share of rocky start on this platform and I'm still learning so yes I've taken my advice before giving one out. Thank you
