Article and Discussion - The difference?

I don't think its a topic thing per say, its more about how in depth it is, what the premise is and what kind of advice is being given, how well written it is and whether its AI generated.

It's confusing to me, as well.

Founder says, "Articles can be about anything you want, but they should be original and have something to do with the content of this website." Also, the dictionary definition is: "A written composition in prose, usually nonfiction, on a specific topic."

I interpret this to mean that a PL has a specific topic related to Tuscl's purpose, that he'd like to share. It's not necessarily seeking input or guidance. It stands alone as a whole piece of writing generally meant to be of interest and service to PLs everywhere. Plus, they tend to be longer with multiple paragraphs outlining different topical aspects.

Meanwhile, there's no direct Tuscl guidance on Discussions. My opinion - They're less about fleshing out a given topic, and instead seeking input or guidance on some question or subject of interest to the OP. They can be of any length, but tend to be shorter - often no more than a paragraph, or even a one-line question or request.
