Maybe there needs to be a code of conduct for AI use on W3C mailing lists. If AI content is clearly identified including the *entire context* it used and which model processed it, one could challenge the messages with enough detail to infer intent or ignorance. This creates transparency and offers a new tool for more in-depth conversations for those of us who leverage AI to integrate patterns and contrast technologies. One could ask for AI generated messages to be sent using HTML emails to allow for compact details. Leave text emails to humans.
