I think using AI for a bit more potent spellchecking or style hints is... fine, honestly. I don't usually do it, you can tell from all the silly spelling mistakes I do. But a bit more polishing for your posts is a good thing, not a bad one, as long as it doesn't hide your voice.
I'm confused by this need(?) desire(?) to polish things that are irrelevant.
What if English is my second language? Undoubtedly being well spoken is associated with higher class. Your arguments will come of as stronger to the reader.
The human touch of someone’s real voice myself, rather than a false veneer will carry more weight very soon.
"AI-edited comments" is a very interesting one. Where is the line between a spelling/grammar/tone checker like Grammarly, that at minimum use N-Grams behind the scenes, and something that is "AI" edited? What I am asking is, is "AI" in this context fully featured LLMs, or anything that improves communication via an automated system. I think many people have used these "advanced" spellcheckers for years before Chatgpt…
i type my comments without capitalization like i'm typing into some terminal because i'm lazy and people might hate it but i'm sure they prefer this to if i asked an LLM to rewrite what i type
your writing style is your personality, don't let a robot take it away from you
One thing that will be incredibly useful is to limit comments from brand new accounts. A combination of vouching, limiting the posts velocity (5 daily limit), clear rules for new accounts, etc. I understand we often see insightful comments from new accounts, but I always find it suspicious when non-throwaway accounts are created just in time only to make a quip.

Agree, AI generated articles & comments provide little to none value other than the original prompt. Please just post the original prompt instead.
Here is where I'd like to push back just a little. Not all AI prompting is expanding the prompt. What if the original prompt is 1000 words, includes 10 scientific articles by reference (boosting it up to 10000) , and the AI helps to boil it down to 100 words instead? I'd argue that this is probably a rather more responsible usage of the tools. And rather more pleasant to read besides. Whether it meets the criterion i…

That is persuasian, not authenticity, to the OP's point.
Typed without a spellchecker :).
The only question is is the entity interesting and/or correct. Those properties are in the eye of the beholder. If they're human or not is beside the point. After all, no one knows I'm a dog.
> The only question is is the entity interesting and/or correct. This already falls apart though. There are while categories of things which I find "incorrect" and would take up as an argument with a fellow human. But trying to change the mind of an LLM just feels like a waste of my time.
Many of us — perhaps even the best of us — can sometimes be mistaken for AI bots.
No one is confusing Cleetus McFarland with an AI bot.
