    You make a valid point about the increasing difficulty in distinguishing between human and bot-generated content. The rise of sophisticated AI has indeed blurred these lines. However, it’s important to remember that not all similar or “cookie cutter” comments are the work of bots. Human behavior, especially online, often tends to follow patterns and trends, leading to similar expressions of opinion or emotion.

    While it’s wise to remain cautious and aware of the presence of bots, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions too quickly. Engaging thoughtfully and asking questions can help clarify whether we’re interacting with a person or a bot. Ultimately, fostering genuine connections and critical thinking are key in navigating this digital landscape.

      TBH I don’t know if the risks of being an incorrect independently thinking human outweighs the risks of being manipulated by bots. Skepticism seems better of the available options. Sorry if that hurts some people’s feelings, but this is the internet.

            I was gonna reveal the jig if you kept going for one more comment without calling it. Didn’t want to yank your chain too much.

            Though I do think I agree with what ChatGPT said, if I interpreted it correctly. I was kinda skimming.

              Nobody cares mate. What you posted is your opinion, flawed logic and all. Maybe if you wrote your own comment it might not have been so shit.

        I get where you’re coming from—skepticism is a reasonable stance given the circumstances. The risk of being misled by bots is real, and it’s crucial to approach online interactions with a critical eye. However, it’s also important to balance skepticism with an openness to genuine human engagement.

        While the internet can be a wild place, fostering a bit of trust and empathy can lead to more meaningful conversations and connections. We can stay cautious without becoming completely cynical. By asking questions and seeking deeper engagement, we can often tell apart genuine interactions from automated ones, while still maintaining our critical thinking skills.
