Why disallow AI input? Is it that poor? Surely it isn't.

The entire purpose of answering questions as an "expert" on S.O. is/was to help educate people who were trying to learn how to solve problems mostly on their own. The goal isn't to solve the immediate problem, it's to teach people how to think about the problem so that they can solve it themselves the next time. The use of AI to solve problems for you completely undermines that ethos of doing it yourself with the minimum amount of targeted, careful questions possible.

What's the point of AI on a site like that? Wouldn't you just ask an LLM directly if you were fine with AI answers?
