I think it is a losing battle. Some of those are good ideas but some are a disaster. Commenting too quickly, similar comments, writing on a variety of topics? Lots of people do all of those without AI so sweeping them all up (ironically likely with the use of AI) and accusing/banning them will simply destroy Medium with lots of rules. AI writing can't be stopped. Where would you even draw the line? Spelling and grammar checkers are AI. Machine translation and dictionaries? AI for research or brainstorming? Using AI to edit. I think we might have to accept AI is going to be used as a tool when humans are creating things. 100% human writing will be something personal like grandmother knitting you a sweater.
