This is assuming that an extreme majority of people use the tools this way.

Consider a much more cynical view where people are strictly self-interested and use these tools to garner engagement and self-promotion. Good chance the meaning did not originate from the person. And now these people have tools to outsource their parasitic intentions.

It can't. It will rewrite anything you give it.

> it can verify your claims before posting

It can't.

Nobody is afraid of it. It's annoying. General population cannot be trusted to use it in whatever idealistic way you are imagining.

Forums and comments are not written as formal novels or text. Corporate-speak is also not typically used in these environments unless you are representing corporate.

So I think it's fine to scrutinize commenters who write that way.

Besides, the biggest offense of AI speak is making everything seem like a grand epiphany and revolutionary discovery. Aka engagement bait.

I solved my longstanding mental issues with one. Even therapeutic minimal doses of xanax will not do that.

Maybe you are right, though. Both are probably equally bad.

There's some good irony in your reply and I think we're both laughing for different reasons. I have no intention in being combative, but it is you who interpreted my post in the worst possible way.

I was speaking from a neutral and stoic stance. Nowhere did I imply manipulation or attempting to control another person. I was only referring to your fixation on their reactions and feelings.

Notice that both your sentences are trying to control the other person's reaction and feelings towards you. If that is your idea of socializing, I would come to the same conclusion.

As cliche as it is, find things in others that genuinely interest you. And don't expect it be a fruitful experience. There are so many reasons the socializing ritual can end up being unfulfilling.
