I have a question for this community and the greater reddit one, if you write in complete sentences, use basic punctuation, or disagree with someone or if someone disagrees with you. I find that you will inevitably be accused of being a bot or an LLM.

Its 2026, and no one calls another a troll, thats what I was used to hearing as a way to dismiss an argument or a post or comment.

Anyways what are your thoughts on this? Surprisingly I have been called a bot and an LLM? What have people called you on here? And is it even worth writing anything back when you will just be accused and dismissed??

I have seen trends being hyped and well, trending, because of bots online. I believe this is called artificial trends or something like that. Like the labubu and Dubai chocolate stuff, they came out of nowhere and the hype didn't make much sense at first, right? That's the artificial trend, the beginning of such things are difficult to find because there's a different version being told to us every time.

Not only that but people are behaving the same, talking the same way, dressing the same way and so on. Maybe we are talking to real people but since it's in human nature to mimic others' behaviors in order to adapt so many actual users feel AI-like to us. They may not use AI assistants for their homework, job or whatever but they engage in AI content so very often!! So they feel like AI, like a chatgpt or Gemini.

This is being passed on to IRL mundane conversations too. Similar humors, accents, manner of speech and even careless mistakes committed in daily activities are powered by AI. This isn't a post to make everyone paranoid of AI (even more than we already are), just an observation I've done in the past couple of months. It's a cycle of consuming AI and behaving like AI.
