Ofcourse, it applies to younger people as well. I didn't exclude them.
Other than, if it sounds like "ai slop" to you, you probably did not expect a properly written statement from real people. It gotten to a point someone saying real world experience witnessed by me as "ai slop". This HN land became unfamiliar alien land to me now. Do I need to force myself to sound trivial, incorrect, slangish?
And the disconnection is .. ? Infact, forget it. Your comment proves that this is already at ridiculous level. The message I posted about alienation of old people with the changing world, close to my heart than anything else, as I went through painful experiences that lasted for decades.
And now treading the slippery slope of social forums of HN, where the floor suddenly slips and we fall into getting called as "ai-written". This world is done.
This is so disconnected from the real world that it has to be ai, because I don't want to think someone on this platform can be so ridiclious.
