I'm talking solely about the internal wordlist the grandparent is whining about, not the AI writing thingy. I don't have a real formed opinion yet on the latter.

For the former, it's none of the things you say, and AFAICT, you have precisely zero knowledge of either the decision making process, or how it is used, etc.

So saying "it's quite obviously x" seems trivially wrong.



>So saying "it's quite obviously x" seems trivially wrong.

No one in this chain said that, however. Some person gave an opinion and you then replied with "you don't have any knowledge on this". Even though in this case, it is indeed a cultural question which everyone has some knowledge and likely opinion on.

If you want to encourage others to seek more information out (if it's out there), then sure. But at some point it just sounds like you're appealing to an authority that doesn't exist here. And honestly, who IS the authority of a thing like language and its usage is a conversation in and of itself.
