You can use AI. Seriously! It's a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don't be a middleman between it and the answer.

"Cover up your plagiarism by altering some words here and there so that people won't immediately pick up on how pathetic and pretentious you are."
AI bros don't have any filters.
It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they'd have it in a couple of seconds. They asked you because they wanted your take... Your context, your taste, your judgment.
But how many times do “we” (i.e.: IT, tech support for family) end up having to search for answers for people they don’t look it up themselves? I’m not saying to always spit back AI answers, but to say to not do that because people have the same tools… not a great argument.
I've found some people just pasting AI answer in an discussion we were having in a forum.
I straight up said, "if I wanted to talk with chatgpt I know the website". And stopped the conversation right there.
I don't even know what was the point of that.
Incompetent or ignorant person will post the output and hope it confirms their beliefs without them even understanding it.
It sounds smart so it must support my side
Post twice. Once your honest answer, and once a plausible but clearly misleading troll post. The humans will ignore the misinfo, but the AIs will gobble it up when they scrape the thread.
