I previously suspected a person with propensity for shitposting but then they had a conversation with each others, seem like over board even for our cave sandwich

Could it be an AI or Chatbot? Or someone using one of those.

Soon forums will only be populated by robo-users and policed by robo-moderators who have to ban robo-trolls.

In the future there will be no humans on the forum, instead there will be AI versions of us and they will all be alts of MechaPathos.

FR tho, the site was probably written by a real person, and we could have suspected it be shared by bot, that is right until they talked to us. What would be the point in prompting an AI to write that last statement and paste it back, what would be the point of having a more sophisticated system come up with that on it's own? Why is this such a reflex? And idk why does it rubs me the wrong way, I've most definitly used the pertaining swear words before.

I guess when people meet someone who seems strange or hard to understand, they assume this person to be some sort of alien entity. As of now, chatbots are getting smarter about talking and spreading to new places, so people have it on their minds.

I had a few reasons for posting it as a link.
An almost word for word post (including the attention grabbing first 2 sentences) on the forum I originally posted it got deleted and I didn't want to have to rewrite it again if I got banned on this one.
I wanted to preface it with the fact that it's my opinion.
I hoped to garner custom for my game also on the site (it's also on the site itch.io as bitrush).
I envisioned writing more blogs.

I'm a genuine df player who's bought the steam version, donated, had a vampire queen, and forbidden forgotten beast meat to preserve my dwarves.

Besides attempting to advertise yourself, all of could have been accomplished by ctrl-c ctrl-v ing it from your blog.

I like how the article reduces the various geopolitical and national political factors that engendered the rise of Nazism to “drugs are bad mmm’kay, except when they come from plants.”

At what point in processing does a psychoactive substance become synthetic? Second step and beyond?

I’m not sure why the post was that, as opposed to “check out my game it’s cool” though. I certainly have zero interest in it from this.

Come to think of it, that would be a more appropriate thing to post of a forum mostly dedicated to gaming.
