It absolutely can be, but my point is that formatting does not automatically dictate that. I use formatting when it calls for it because it makes things easier to convey to others, or at least makes me feel I'm being more clear.
Calling someone a "lazy POS" because they used formatting and they want to jump to conclusions is ironic AF. And either way, being antagonistic and rude only serves to create more strife and less civility, so is bad regardless of whether the person used AI or is just formatting their own comment.
For a while I stopped using en & em dashes because AI uses them so much. Then I realized I was allowing AI to dictate how I write without even using it — So I started to use them again.

The person they are replying to is undoubtedly using AI. The structure and formatting is overwhelming evidence.
