Yes, the language is a clear tell of AI usage, but flowery language alone is not swamping the list.<span style="background-color:transparent"> </span></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Now, sometimes and unfortunately, I can use vague and flowery language myself, so I would advise you to treat the AI stuff like the human stuff.<br>
Ignore it if it's too vague or flowery to serve as a good argument, and you have clearly laid out the two arguments in your last two lines.<br>
Hopefully the list will show judgement and treat clear and concise arguments better than vague ones.<br>
And then the AI posts, if they want to be successful, will avoid the purple prose.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I think it goes beyond flowery language.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I am concerned that this is a precedent for AI generated DDoS attacks on the PDP and I do think we should have some light touch guidelines.
