what do you even mean to "not put a cover" on it, everyone communicates differently. Your comment here puts on a "snide, snarky, trying to be smart but failing" cover that I have discarded because your idea may have some merit to be discussed on.

>everyone communicates differently

Yes, and those differences have an intrinsic value. As an example, my comment's "cover" communicates my discontent and frustration with "AI tone". As a matter of fact, my "cover" here became the discussion itself. Thus, my comment's "cover" is not actually a cover but a part of the communication. In contrast, the "AI tone" is just a cover to make a writing look superficially more professional without adding any value to the communicated idea or emotion.

> my "cover" here became the discussion itself

My "cover" is good because of X, their "cover" is bad because of Y, is not a helpful analogue nor a useful one.
