Reductio ad ChatGPTum

Reductio ad ChatGPTum is a logical fallacy in which someone attempts to invalidate a position by alleging it was generated by ChatGPT—typically because it is lengthy, structured, or articulate—rather than engaging with the argument’s actual content. It functions as a form of ad hominem, attacking the presumed source of the argument instead of addressing its merits.

I’m not going to bother responding to your points—you obviously just had ChatGPT write that, Reductio ad ChatGPTum
