alt Hacker NewsThis dude invented not one but multiple dog health care products ... with no animal product design background whatsoever! Then (with no business background) he started an entire company helping hundreds of dogs all over the world.
Maybe instead of expecting everyone to be good at everything, we cut this guy a little slack and let him use AI to help write?

Absolutely.
But, did AI actually _help_ in this specific phrase? I think it's OK to point out the quirks (and even drawbacks) of AI, even if we generally support the underlying motions of the person using it.
It's all very impressive and heartwarming.
But that doesn't change that slop sucks to read.
no one's preventing him from using it, we're pointing out flaws with the tool in an effort to get people to improve
The AI didnt help him write. The AI wrote very annoying prose. Seemingly everyone was completely capable of writing long winded comments, rants, and rambles before AI. They can do it after too just fine.
I think it's possible to give someone their flowers for being a great innovator and also call them out for producing writing that's painful to read.
