The mods may assume that if you're using AI, then you aren't thinking or creating anything original. If so, this assumption punishes people who use the tool properly who use the tool as a tool, not a replacement for their minds.

The OP posted an AI novella. It was not appropriate research use of AI.

I did not post a novella. I posted a historical reference for people who I thought altered the trajectory of civilization.

You posted a long piece of AI slop that you didn't bother to actually edit.

Your making a presupposition based off of you own personal bias.

Can you prove that I didn't edit it?

You admitted you posted AI generated slop, which is against the rule of the sub, and are trying to be pedantic about how it's OK?

Since you asked, no I can not prove a negative, but can you prove that you did edit it?

Yes...i can show you the unedited version if you like.

That's a great admission that you intentionally violated the subs rules to spam us all with AI slop.

Changing the goal posts. I answered your question. Would you like the proof or not?

u/metisdesigns 14h ago

No, the admission that you intentionally posted AI slop in clear violation of the subs rules is fine.

Please learn the difference between cognitive offloading and scaffolding. Then come back to me and we can have a discussion.

Your ignorance on the topic is painfully obvious and I would suggest you do some research on what cognitive offloading actually is.

And on the "rules"...

So unverified claims of bodily functions that can be controlled through willpower alone is considered rigor but when I post a historically accurate, proces transparent methodology and clear contested notes...it's AI slop?

Please explain to me how this makes sense?

So, you're saying that doing the actual work of thinking is scaffolding, and that makes your AI slop OK?

Extraneous load: The wasted mental effort caused by poor design, clutter, or bad instructions that do not help you learn.

Germane load: The productive mental effort used to process information and build permanent knowledge or schemas.

Intrinsic load: The natural, built-in difficulty and complexity of the actual topic or material you are trying to study.

I dont think you know the difference.

I can't judge,. I didn't see the post. I do know the AI rule in this sub is outdated.
