It’s kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it’s complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.
Slop or not, it does happen so often now that it does not feel like it’s worth it going online, but it’s worth sharing, I guess, gah.

I’ve honestly struggled a lot trying to figure out what posts are just chatbot trolls and what posts are people worth trying to create a dialogue with.
I mean, sometimes posts will say things that seem like they’re intentionally misleading or inherently malicious in some way and it’s like… Is this person for real? Are they trying to push some specific narrative? Or are they just misinformed? Or is this just a chatbot designed to upset people and disrupt online conversations on this subject?
I’ve noticed they often hedge pretty bad at the end and give some boilerplate “Always rely on professionals or this credential or whatever platitude to avoid bring percrived as giving risky or dealing casually with taboo topic matter”
