Moderator’s note here: I had tried to find a topic split when Sam suggested one a few days ago, but I wasn’t able to see a simple path towards a second topic that could stand on its own. It really needed a new first-post to help new readers understand the discussion (as I’ve attempted above). It is indeed warranted, especially as the discussion continued. But then I missed a post during the split, and then Discourse got all kinds of confused when I tried to move that into this (non-chronological) topic. So my apologies at the fumbles, but that’s a reason why topic splits don’t always happen.
Secondly, please refrain from copy-pasting AI outputs into the topic or accusing others of doing such. We’re here to talk with one another. This isn’t some personal editorial style preference, it’s something we have in our site guidelines… and as with all guidelines, just flag problems as you see them instead of derailing topics further by posting about it.
