I reads like an unhinged rant about AI and the engineers who use it, with the entitled tone of people who think they have permission to insult someone's competence and work because AI was used.

In my opinion, if one cannot express themselves civilly, they should refrain from commenting.

I disagree. I wouldn't consider it unhinged. I'm clearly aware of my own frustration. It's also relatively civil, since I was able to temper it with appropriate apologies and acknowledgements. Many other people agree and support the sentiment of what I'm saying.

AI is a powerful tool and very capable of - amongst other things - making something look far more valuable than it actually is, and that is a huge waste of time that costs us all. We all have a responsibility to call this out when we see it.

It looks like you've just implied I'm entitled, unhinged, uncivil and and that I shouldn't have contributed at all, whilst thinking you've elevated yourself above that behaviour by saying "in my opinion" and "one should...". I think that's an unhinged, insulting and uncivil way to express yourself.
