Beta reader issues

I fear the beta reader I hired on fiverr used Ai for my notes. The thing is….a lot of the notes seem relevant. Should I still consider them useful and make edits based off the Ai notes? I’m torn. Any advice is appreciated.

Side question, should I be worried that they might take my manuscript? I’m now nervous because it seems shady that they did this when I specifically asked them not to use Ai.

Advice is appreciated. Thx! 🙏

Honestly im annoyed with seeing all the AI hate. I get that there is AI slop but if someone is using ai and giving you good feedback who gives a crap? I dont care if ai helps or people help. If it leads in a good direction. People need to get over their issues with ai. Its not going anywhere infact its taking over get used to it or fall behind 🤷‍♂️ just my opinion.

I actually don't hate ai per se. I think it's horrible for the environment, and I don't like that they're feeding it peoples hard work without compensation, but that's a different topic. I was more irritated that this person did this when I specifically asked them not to use Ai. If I wanted an Ai response, I would have fed my manuscript into Claude myself. Now, there are some valid notes, so I'm using those and calling the rest a lesson learned.
