Agreed. I think I'm getting more fatigue from the AI slop callouts than the actual AI slop.

Just pretend "this is AI slop" is also in the list. Don't complain about that; complain about the information being wrong or something else insightful. Discuss the conclusions that were included in the article. Assume (also per the guidelines) that the author reviewed the article before posting; they are signing off on its validity and therefore any callouts, AI-related or otherwise, should be calling that validity into question rather than simply saying that a particular tool was used for getting the words on the page.
I admit it is perhaps unkind of me to not provide the laundry list of AI-tells in their article, but I see their response to me as being a direct lie ("I haven't used AI to write this post, that's just my style") so what explanation do I owe them?
Not literally, but this was the thesis of your comment, regardless of your four words of validation.

Please don't do this. It doesn't matter.

What explanation do they owe you?
