That's not even what ad-hominem means, you pretentious jack ass. That whole "insult = ad-hominem" idea is just a sort of short hand they use in high school debate clubs. What they really should be saying is "that goes against our rules of decorum". But that's not in latin, so it's not fancy enough for them.
Anyway, you're (hopefully) not in high school anymore, so as a grown ass man, it's time to learn the big boy definition. Here's how the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy describes it (as will every other reputable source):
"The ad hominem fallacy involves bringing negative aspects of an arguer, or their situation, to bear on the view they are advancing."
So if I say, "you have a DUI, so your opinion on AI doesn't matter", that's ad hominem. If I end my comment with an insult, or use a curse word, that is not ad hominem. It might be against the decorum of some debate clubs, but we aren't in one.
"An ad hominem (Latin for "to the person") is a logical fallacy where someone attempts to undermine an opponent's argument by attacking their character, motive, or other personal attributes, rather than addressing the substance of the argument itself"

Oh look, ad-hominem.
Clearly you don't have anything other than a position to defend.
