The issue with using AI is that the author doesn't openly disclose the use at the beginning of the paper.
Yes, I know this particular write-up isn't for official submission to an academic journal, but sharing methodology is important.
I would have no problem with AI-assisted writing IF the author credited the service used and, where applicable, included the prompts used.
It should be similar to documenting any sourced material. It's not just about giving credit where credit is due. It's also about accountability.
Why is this necessary? Does this add anything at all to the conversation?
Ah, well then. Problem solved. Someone on the internet said it's credible, therefore it must be credible. Tell ya what - when you create a webpage to display your data and then provide an analysis of said data, I'll consider you credible. Until then, though, you are just some short-tempered, rude, anonymous voice shouting into the void.
