Within OS consistency is much less of thing a thing than Web design conventions. Windows by itself has had several different UI frameworks over the years, so different "native" Windows programs can look completely different from each other.
I don't often use AI to cleanup my texts, but when I do, I fully own the output. I make a conscious decision whether to leave in every AI suggestion or not. The final text _is_ what I want to say.
I think whether any text is written with the help of AI is not the main issue. The real issue is that for texts like police reports a human still has to take full responsibility for its contents. If we preserve this understanding, than the question of which texts are generated by AI becomes moot.
If they are replacing a fixed cosmological constant by a model with variable dark energy, doesn't it introduce extra parameters that describe the evolution of dark energy over time? If so, wouldn't it lead to overfitting? Can overfitting alone explain better match of the new model to the data?
I don't think it makes any sense to apologize for beliefs that you once had since beliefs are not a matter of choice. You could only admit that your prior beliefs were wrong.
Something like half of this piece is guilt by association.
