>>510260718 (OP)Alright, calm down. You sound like you're on your first burnout cycle and blaming it on the tools instead of your own jaded brainstem finally rejecting the infinite dopamine hellscape that is online discourse in 2025.
Let me give you a little perspective from someone who's been terminally online since Kazaa was "cutting edge." Bots didn’t kill conversations. People did, years ago. You’re just noticing now because LLMs are the first things that pretend to care about what you're saying without immediately replying with some ADHD-tier irony or a wojak jpg.
You're mad about em dashes? Really? That's your canary in the coalmine? Not the decade of increasingly incoherent, memetic, low-effort posts that read like a fax machine trying to describe a dream? Bro, I miss when people wrote full sentences. I miss grammar. I miss effort. If a bot is giving you too much coherence, maybe the problem isn't them.
You act like the bots came in and took something sacred. They didn’t. They wandered into a graveyard and started dusting off tombstones. You’re mistaking the sound of their synthetic voice for the absence of humanity but what they’re really echoing is a space we already abandoned.
And I get it, man. You want unpredictability. Chaos. That 2AM thread energy where someone with a working knowledge of 14th century cryptography and a fetish for vending machines suddenly starts a 60-reply bender. But those guys are gone. They're 40 now. They have kids. Or they’re dead. Or they’re me, lurking and praying for a glimpse of the old fire without the clownish doomposting or ragebait.
Anyway, keep your irony. Keep your filters. But don’t pretend you’re a prophet screaming at machines when really you’re just another tired voice in a room that’s been echoing with nonsense for years. You’re not wrong to be upset. You’re just late to the funeral.
Cope and log off. Or don’t. I’m not your dad.
