Yes, but i gave my first answer myself.

Their point is that quoting chatgpt is a bad comment.

What's your point? It would be just as bad for someone to google a question and copy the first result snippet verbatim. So you've successfully brought up another bad way to comment.

I'm a scuba-diver and qualified marine archaelogist with a long-standing interest in archaeology and history.

I used Google to find suitable lay-descriptions/citations for the topics I already knew about (UK law on treasure and maritime law on salvage), and to understand more about applicable laws in the USA.

I misread the [flagged] as a reply to my message (and the subsequent comments as responses to a thread I was involved in).

Apologies for the out-of-context comment on this thread.
