Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn't see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?

"You disagree with me so therefore you're an AI bot" sure is a take...

I had someone say that to me, a Maths teacher, when I was trying to tell them where they were going wrong with their Maths! 😂And they were a programmer - no wonder all the e-calcs are wrong... (sigh)

Well, it’s plausible you’ve ingested enough influence from enough propaganda sources that you yourself believe what they’ve told you, & you parrot it back out, which sorta makes you, in the limited context of one comment, functionally indistinguishable from a propaganda worker, who probably has been replaced by an AI bot bc those can do more of that work.

So ya can’t really blame me for the shorthand of just referring to you as one, yknow?
