My layer of cleanup is AI assisted. It's the spellchecker integrated into my web browser. That was definitely "AI" technology when it originally came out.

But I think you and I are on the same page: we both know this isn't a rule that's there to be hard-and-fast enforced because that's completely infeasible. The definition of "AI" is a moving target, as is "generated."

It's a rule that's there to have a rule so when the real problem is "Hey, your content is too low-quality but you dump volumes of it and it's clearly following a procedural template" the mods can call that "AI" and justify limiting or banning the account on prior-stated rules. Which is fine, but I'm glad to call it what it is.

(One unfortunate oversight: we haven't added "posts sounding like they are AI-generaed" to the "Please don't complain about" set. So expect that to become a common refrain now since the incentives to make the complaint against disliked comments are obvious... At least until that becomes annoying enough to justify a rule).
