The use of AI tools isn't inherently bad -- it's the theft of content that's the real issue. There's a huge difference between using AI to correct your grammar or spelling and asking it to write an entire post for you. The former is similar to using a paid tool like Grammarly -- it helps you express your own ideas more clearly by fixing your language.

But copying a post into an AI and asking it to generate a reply is essentially plagiarism, which is prohibited here. You're using content you had no part in creating and passing it off as your own. That's not just dishonest -- it's lazy and incredibly easy to spot.
