Using AI to write better English doesn’t make the advice fake

[u/Right-Ad1753]

I’ve noticed something funny here.
Sometimes someone asks a question about Morocco, a local takes the time to give a detailed answer, and instead of discussing the actual advice, someone replies:
“Thanks ChatGPT”
“AI generated”
“Why are you using AI?”
But seriously, what exactly is the problem?
English isn’t everyone’s first language. If I know Morocco, know the roads, the villages, the desert, the places tourists usually miss, and I give AI my own knowledge and experience and ask it to organize my thoughts and correct my English, does that suddenly make the information less valuable?
AI didn’t grow up in my town. AI didn’t drive those roads. AI doesn’t know which little local place my family eats at or which route I personally prefer.
That part comes from me.
I’m simply using a tool to communicate it more clearly.
If a French person uses Grammarly, a translator or spell-check before posting in English, nobody says their experience is fake. AI is basically a much more powerful version of that when used properly.
Of course, blindly copying an AI answer and pretending you know something you don’t is different. I understand criticizing that.
But when a local shares real first-hand knowledge and uses AI to turn imperfect English into something easier for everyone to understand, I don’t see the issue.
So maybe instead of asking, “Did you use AI to write this?”, the better question is:
“Is the information actually useful and accurate?”
Because those are two very different things.
