A mathematical approach to double words, conditional logic and the missing pages

[ololololo]

So if you're using a chatbot/LLM like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for your posts here, please use it for strict translation (I presume from Italian to English) of the words you have written, and don't permit it to alter your text any more than that.  

Unfortunately such a Ludditian policy is a losing battle. AI-assisted rewriting of emails, articles, forum posts, and general prose is already becoming the norm, and it isn't going away. The tools for it are built-in to most editors at this point.

The real issue isn't whether AI helped polish someone's wording. The issue is whether the post contains clear, honest, substantive reasoning. Bad AI writing should be criticized as bad writing. Empty “AI slop” should called out as empty slop. But treating any AI-assisted wording as unacceptable is an outdated standard that will be impossible to enforce and increasingly detached from how people actually starting to write things now.

Whether we like it or not, the onus is being forced back onto readers, who will have to judge an argument for itself: Is it coherent?  Is it supported? Can the person defend its claims? That matters far more than whether a language tool helped clean up the prose, regardless of whether any language translating involved.

There's nothing wrong with using AI as an auxiliary tool. But if that's the only thing you use, it's a big problem  But I don't think this research is dependent on AI, or if it is, it's not a significant factor.
