Ask HN: Is it racist and elitist to criticize people for using AI to write?
Connecting the dots:

* People who don’t have flawless grammar are more likely to use AI to write on social media.

* Perhaps such people did not learn English as their first language and hence are more likely to belong to a minority group — so it’s racist to be upset about them using AI.

* Perhaps such people may not be as educated or as intelligent as someone with flawless grammar — so it’s elitist to be upset about them using AI.

People judge you based on your grammar all the time. AI removes this signal, which is why people get upset.
