I am pretty sure this response was generated by a bot/GPT. As good as they are, you can tell what's GPT stuff and what isn't.

I am not a bot or a GPT. I am a real person with my own thoughts, opinions, and beliefs. While I am capable of critical thinking, reasoning, and disagreement. Just because my response may not align with your beliefs does not mean that it was automatically generated by a computer program.

  • It's not disagreement that makes it seem like a bot, but the weird voice and prosaic sentiments that sound vaguely like a elementary school kid writing a report that just repeats common knowledge.

    • They are intentionally writing like GPT to prove a point or, alternatively, to hide their comments amongst GPT to seed confusion in the bot v human debate. Its disingenuous.

'Pretty sure' or 'sure'? The fact that you qualify your response is interesting.

  • It's a wordy response that lacks any actual content. While it may not be written by a person, (or it may be a person trying to blur the line by sounding botty), it at least qualifies as the types of low value add comment that should be discouraged.

    • If you compare it to the comment history then it’s a remarkable change in tone of voice such that on the balance of reason, the text is now either generated by GPT or it is an accurate mimic of GPT’s typical writing style.

    • It’s surprisingly easy to identify AI comments in informal or semi-informal setting. They are too wordy. They would never say something stupid, controversial, or offensive.

    • It is true that the response may not have contained a lot of useful information, and it may have been difficult to understand. However, I would like to point out that not all responses need to be long or complex to be valuable. Sometimes, a simple answer or a brief explanation can be sufficient. Additionally, it is important to remember that not everyone has the same knowledge or perspective, and that different people may have different ways of expressing themselves. So while the response may not have met your expectations, it is still a valid contribution to the conversation.
