>I think it would suit you to do the same, now that you’ve acknowledged it.
I'm struggling to see why you think I acknowledged that my accusation was unfounded when I explained exactly why I think it's valid. It's clearly AI and I would bet my life on that post having been at least edited by ChatGPT.
>What did you hope to achieve with the accusation?
Plenty of online spaces are now full of bots posting and replying to other bots with the occasional human engagement. Some subreddits I used to post on are practically useless now with all the AI spam. Dead internet theory etc. If I wanted to talk to a bot I would use AI directly without pretending I'm discussing something with humans.

You literally wrote “yeah okay it’s an unfounded accusation”.
I hope you can see why I thought that was an acknowledgement?
Sure I don’t want bots any more than you do, but I also don’t think it changes anything to blindly accuse anyone you think sounds like an LLM.. I mean, bots don’t self-destruct if you call them out or anything.
Engaging with bots likely just amplifies the problem (by causing them to respond), rather than just downvoting their posts.
