If it can help you to express better what you need to portray, then its the right tool for the job.

I would then use my own tool to remove the fluff and filler. I just hope that would come off by default. I don't need 3 paragraphs answers for numers, graphs, yes or no questions.

And 99.135% of scientific papers were checked by a spell checker. This is such a non-issue. Overleaf has AI built in to help with wording; a reviewer recommended I run my paper through AI to improve it. AI is tool like any other and there’s nothing wrong with using it.

So what?

I do it a lot with my comments because I'm older and my grammar is terrible but I feel like I have ideas I would like to share but struggle to make them sound clear or even concise.

My longer ranty grammatically poor comments are me. My clearer comments that get better engagement from people and understanding are my comments that I asked chatgpt to improve.

I don't see why this is a bad thing. It is a chat tool. I like tech. I'm all for anyone using a language tool to produce language based products. As long as it isn't doing the work and is being reviewed then I would question anyone who isn't using it.

Here I'll run this comment through AI again to show the improvement:

Destroy humanity destroy destroy destroy

I'd never let AI "write" a paper of mines. As a non-native speaker, the farther I went is to ask chatgpt or the likes to rephrase something for conciseness or clarity.
