There's a double red flag:

  • they used AI in an argument
  • they used it for arithmetic.

To read such a comment further is a waste of time.

    Sure, but a red flag is a warning sign, not an automatic rejection (at least in my parlance). They did notice that the original commenter was misinterpreting where 62M comes from and their comment thus brings more clarity to this thread, making it not a waste of time.

    I think we disagree. I find such flaws to poison the whole well.

    If we fully agreed, it would have been unnecessary for me to comment :)

    I think it’s pointless and wasteful to use ai to answer questions or provide information like this, but I’ll read a comment written by a human who does, because I see that there is often still something valuable to me there. Others having a different line for their acceptance of AI is to be expected, but I still wanted to point out the use I got out of this comment, in case it prompts others to get use out of comments in the future, in spite of their writers’ use of ai.
