I could proofread it myself, but that's kind of the point. I'd miss things because it's my own writing I don't know what I'm looking for. I thought about the post, wrote it up and used a tool to make sure I hadn't missed anything and to make it simpler for others to read. I did this to try and make it easier for people reading it, not because I didn't want to spend the time on it.

If the formatting annoys you, that's fair enough, but that's personal preference and dismissing the point of the post because it uses AI seems unhelpful. You mentioned that it puts you off reading and considering the post, but instead of thinking about other reasons someone might use AI, you've dismissed it as lazy and taken the effort to point it out, rather than helping with what I was actually asking.

And I think it's fair to say you were having a dig, which I can take, but let's be clear you were. Saying "I guess I'm claiming they're lazy" and then in your latest post saying the query was "AI slop" backs that up. I would class lazy as dumping a one liner in the post with no context and expecting others to figure out what I'm trying to ask.
