If you think I’m going to read a three page bot post, you’ve got your head up your ass.

Someone having a psychotic break could do that easily. Takes three seconds to make an account. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a bot. The replies are done by AI but I suspect the person is manually copy pasting them in.

I've used the same tactic when trolling reddit before. Gets the people riled up. Make a few really stupid obviously AI posts, when people start complaining about the AI posts. Write a sob story about how you are a poor oppressed starving orphan with religious extremist parents who don't want you to have an education because you are gay and how you only learned to read and write thanks to AI tools. Make it have horrid grammar and spelling. Then sit back and watch the ensuing argument about whether or not it's real.

Or you can just ignore it. Which is the only way to handle trolls. Fuck with them a bit sure but the instant it stops being fun just ignore.

A person having a psychotic break doesn't do it continuously for 5 years... People having psychotic breaks aren't known for having long-term laser focus

They don't need it. They just have to be fucked enough to refresh the browser and make new accounts over and over again. It's fucking easy.
