I have been wondering about this for a while. There is a lot of bots on the internet. Most of the Comments on the internet are bots. I did not assume they would be here until the past few months. many of the comments seem repetitive, lack context, or are pushing a narrative. I also notice the quickness with which many respond as if they have no other obligations. It is possible shrsailplanes can't remember the previous comments made or even understand the context because it's just a LLM seeking to converse.

Which would be a different problem from the "Short pilot, jerk pilot, normal pilot, weird pilot" who could be real people or a person, but seem mainly narrative focused with a few flavor text added for realism. Could be a person, sock puppets, bots, I will never know, BUT I do know there are bot here because they are bots everywhere and if your conversing on the internet in a forum like this the likelihood that your writing to an algorithm is high. the chance that there are no bots being close to zero.

Unfortunately like all the really big things ,the very small things and very old things we can speculate a lot but will KNOW very little.
