I feel like the term "touch grass" applies to this comment more than anything.
Touch Grass
Well OP said that bots posting shit on social media alienates people from being part of modern society
If that's not a touch a grass moment then I don't know what is
When you can't trust the people online you interact with to be a real person or not, it's hard to interact within the internet.
Sure, you can find real human connections by "touching grass", but the internet shouldn't be a monotonous landscape solely for consumption and not interaction. It was not built for that, and shouldn't ever be.
Well the study we're commenting under calls out that press releases and job postings are also becoming increasingly LLM-written. You can't avoid those simply by touching grass.
Not sure what type of grass you touch, but I don't have it littered with job postings or press releases
People need to work to live, which requires looking at job postings. Shocking, I know
Your mom's bush
“Touch grass” is exclusionary and divisive. I asked Copilot to explain why.
Okay, I won't say touch grass anymore. I'll just say what I think instead: GO OUTSIDE YOU TERMINALLY ONLINE FREAK.
Do you think that'll be better?
Yes, it is more inclusive.
I mean, except of those with agoraphobia or those who are incapable of leaving their residence due to physical infirmity of some kind.
Maybe that should be a reminder to be culturally tolerant and not over-interpret figures of fucking speech. It's an English metaphor. Have you ever been to England, they love their manicured lawns. Performative outrage, the lot of it. I could say that the AI missed the ball but then the AI would complain about quadruple amputees being insulted over not being able to play sportsball. Cut me a fucking break.
Woosh
My answer is invariant under you intending it to be a joke or not.
Speak for yourself
