Just because the final output comes from AI doesn't always mean a human didn't put real effort into writing it. There's a big difference between asking an LLM to write something from scratch, telling it exactly what to say, or just having it edit and polish what you already wrote.
A ton of my replies here - including this one - are technically "AI output," but all the AI really did was take what I wrote, clean it up, and turn it into coherent text that's easier for the reader to follow.

Y'know, i only use AI for horizontal side researches and support that i do next to the main non ai search. Other than that, i write my stuff, all of it.
