I'm assuming your "new rule" is in regard to my recent post to Beeeorn.

Here I'd thought you'd been around a while.  That text is not 
AI-generated, and in fact is about 30 years old.  It's been posted a 
million times over those years.  It is widely accredited to a dude named 
Guy Macon.  Sheesh.

Don't believe me?  See here:
