On the use of AI in comments – Daily Nous

I appreciate that last part. The allegations of AI use are now far more widespread than the use of AI itself, which is ridiculous.

I’ve never used AI to write comments and probably won’t since I usually type them on my phone while doing other things. If I used AI, my comments would be much better – fewer typos, more organized, and less self-indulgent (ha!).
