The OP -was- penalized: their posts were deleted.
Now if the OP continues to use fully AI generated replies or new topics, that is when sterner response by the mods will happen. It also needs to be pointed out (again) that the Forum does very little automatic scanning of posts (mainly looking for things like gift card scams) - most of the time it is us Forum users who flag and report posts to the mods who simplythen review them and act accordingly.

As for:No. Using a spell checker is perfectly fine and is in fact encouraged as it is also a learning tool.

Yes that is wrong. A reply should be entirely in your own words (aside from quoted content that also has links to their source) and be entirely based on what the poster knows or believes - NOT what some AI program has glomed together as a reply. Don't be afraid of 'getting it wrong' or not being able to properly articulate your thoughts: Most folks here will understand you and if you post questionable/wrong information they will simply correct you. The Forum is a place for learning.

If by image you mean a picture - that is fine. If you mean using AI to generate the initial topic for a business announcement I'd be good with that. Using it to generate a new topic for general discussion - no.
