And nobody seems to bother (or highlight it which would be the job of the commenter)

I just browsed the feed for 20 mins after a month off being sober and don’t miss the disguised instagram feed at all - short videos, meme comments, no old forum experience whatsoever. But thankfully we have that on Lemmy now, so Lemmy try that :)

Btw I didnt even read more than 5 comments total… heres examples:

EDIT: look at how many “people” reply to that stuff - what a sheit show

    a weird positive tone
    Oh

    unnecessarily professional
    Oh no

    a summary or “but you should check with an authority figure” Oh god no

    Bulleted lists
    Well, I’m often 3 for 4 on the AI checklist

      Yeah, I kinda was feeling the same way. I also do the numbering and bullet points thing too bc it helps me organize what I’m trying to say as I type, and I prefer it in general when I read longer walls of text bc it helps me stay focused.

      Reddit and most of the internet has definitely become just one big hub for advertising, but it’s also led to some cases where I’ve genuinely been left unable to tell If I was talking with a bot, a troll, or even just a human without an agenda who was making an argument in a bot/troll like way to prove their point.

      There used to be times where I would start typing something like “what are you 15?” then realize, yeah they probably are 15 so why tf are you arguing with this person? Time to log off.

      Now it’s like a possibility of: 15 year old/edeglord, a troll farm paid by a foreign government/ or possibly even my own government, advanced bot, or someone who just has a similar style of writing.

      There have definitely been times where it’s left me thinking way too much about the deeper meaning of being human, and the question of free will. That is usually my cue these days that it’s time to log off and touch grass.

      So,

      1. trying to be non-snarky
      2. ‘unnecessarily professional’? What’s that; spelling all the words like an adult and avoiding clique-signally kid-pidgin when writing to people I don’t know personally and pretending I want to treat them as also adults?
      3. deferring to experts
      4. bulleted lis-- oh crap

      Am I gonna be flagged as a bot every time I write as if the reader’s an adult?

      I’d totally be flagged as AI if I were in academia these days.
