I imagine I'm not the only one, but I'm getting a 

NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

So I can't login from my work computer right now.
Anyway, just making sure it's noted somewhere.

I support having a TNBW-based "AI Reviewer" available. Obviously I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, so I can accept it if it isn't. I use Grok to aid my research, and also as an alpha-reader. And I am fully aware of the weaknesses of it in many regards. I do not use it to create. I may bounce ideas off of it, ask if my characters are consistent, or if my hypothetical consequences make sense, but I don't have it rewrite my stuff (and often curse at it when it tries).

I'd think that hunting down people using AI to review would be nigh impossible anyway. I looked at a couple of "AI detectors" recently and one of the biggest complaints was that they were too inconsistent. It is what it is. If someone is burning through a bunch of reviews too quickly, then maybe? I don't know. All I know is I do my reviews by hand, and I'd hope others would do the same for me. I can't control what anyone else does, nor do I wish to. Too "Big Brother" for my taste. (1984, not the TV show. And yes, I've had to make that clarification more than once in RL.)
