    I wrote all this by hand.

    Not sure what else to add besides “fuck you.”

    I could lament another generation essentially parroting ‘this looks Photoshopped!’ in the complete absence of evidence. Part of your brain wants to feel terribly clever, and once you’re in that mode, you’re only seeking confirmation. It’s no longer a rational process. But explaining that failure will almost certainly be met with another empty dismissal, because the nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer. You can rock up three weeks late to insult me on the basis of ‘but what if,’ despite claiming to agree with the actual point, and I’m not sure there’s any combination of words you’d even entertain. Hence the initial addition.

    I’d be thrilled if you proved me wrong.

      If you read what I wrote closely, there is no actual accusation nor need to impute any hostility. Charitably read, I was merely pointing out the uncanny and disappointing correlation, and with a stretch, some of the obvious downsides to you personally of the proliferation of LLM generated text. And, now assuming it does need to be pointed out, disappointment is wholly mine and not your problem. But hey, some people can’t read anything without making it all about them. There’s a neologism for this, ya? Something something character syndrome?

      Assuming you recognize that’s a deep character flaw and something to work on, maybe reflect on the real issues instead of kneejerk defensive reactions to, lol, ambiguous comments from strangers, literally to something “neither here nor there.” I wasn’t insulting you because I don’t give a shit about anyone enough to insult them. I’m very, very sorry for pricking your ego though. Consider sprinkling more eggshells around so strangers know to give it a wide berth. 👍

      (Surely even you can recognize now some differences with what I wrote, which can be much more reasonably deemed an insult.)

      Tldr I’m not the enemy lol. Your vaunted rose-tinted saviour is. That and the ones you imagine in your head and want to be real… or at least deemably “rational.”

        ‘It’s not the accusation it sounds like, I’m just vagueposting the insinuation.’ Honey, that’s not better. Nor is ‘I’m above petty insults, you fragile egomaniac.’ It’s not playful irony if you plainly believe it.

        And you did make the accusation. “The last few sentences were especially glaring” is a conclusion. Even ‘especially suspicious’ would be talking shit about my writing, to me. Not in any concrete or constructive way - just ‘I experienced a thought about you, mmm bad look, anyway byyye.’

        You can’t tell me ‘I’m disappointed about you’ and then sneer like I made it about me.

        Your vaunted rose-tinted saviour is.

        Should I bother asking who the fuck you’re talking about? Is it worth another fluff-job from someone who thinks they’re being detached and clever?
