1. Is using AI to improve and refine responses considered a mistake on this forum? I believe the main goal is to provide relevant and accurate information.
It depends on what you mean by refining a response. If you are simply correcting your grammar mistakes, then it is not really a problem. If you are using AI to craft your entire reply, then it is better not to do it. AI is still very stupid sometimes, and you may end up replying with something that is wrong or unhelpful.
Given the incentives there are for posting on the forum, AI use should be discouraged; otherwise, many people will resort to spamming as much as possible so they can hit the maximum quota allowed in their signature campaign.
