I occasionally used AI to edit and restructure my comments. I’m very open about it, and I don’t feel like I’m talking to non-humans when others do the same.

To be clear, I'm neither proud nor embarrassed by this. I'm just trying to communicate in the most efficient way I can.

I'm not sure how I feel about this new rule.

If you're not proud or embarrassed by it then I don't understand why it is an issue? If you miscommunicate something or don't get your point across, just try again, or apologize, and chalk it up to a learning experience.

If you think your writing could use improvement, then write your comment and let it sit for a few minutes before re-reading it and the comment you are replying to, make your edits and then post it. It will give your brain time to reset and maybe spot something you didn't earlier.

Seeing value in that "learning experience" and not, is the basis of our disagreement, perhaps?
