In the thead "[PHP-DEV] [RFC] [Discussion] array_match" I got a reply starting with
"Thanks for your feedback and for raising these valid points" and then sort of reiterating
things I already addressed ("requires adding delimiters and wrapping the needle in
preg_quote()") which leads me to believe that the response was AI generated. I
might be wrong in this specific case but it got me thinking.
I'm not sure I want to spend time arguing with AIs and was considering replying with
"AI;DR" (AI; didn't reply) but I realize that this can be considered rude.
Just to be clear: I realize that AIs help a lot for non-native speakers to express themselves but
when I get the feeling that the whole argument was generated and not only translated then I get a
bit defensive about my personal time and energy.
As I'm expecting more and more generated mails on this list: What is the feeling on the mailing
list about how to handle this?
