Yes - if I can tell that you used AI (except maybe because of an unnaturally high work rate, or obviously an AI declaration, which is good!), you fail. Keep up the quality and I don't care too much.

I have some misgivings about AI, but I'm not a fundamentalist - you can't be or the machine will squish you, frankly - but please, don't spam me with text or code that could be much shorter. Relevant quotes:

"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead"

"Brevity is the soul of wit"
