This comment sounds so much like a spambot I decided to see what GPT-2 would generate for "Real men don't buy fake diamonds":

> Real men don't buy fake diamonds. They buy real diamond rings. Fake diamonds just aren't worth anything, let alone being used for a marriage contract. So I'll be keeping the diamond wedding.

It also produced this beauty:

Real men don't buy fake diamonds. Fake men don't pay fake taxes. Fake men don't lie about their motives.

Fake men can't read. Fake men can't keep their promises.

Fake men know how to hide from the truth. Fake men can't make promises they can't keep.

Fake men can't even tell the truth when they think nobody cares, if everybody's watching.

Fake men lie just because they can.

Fake men are the same as us.

They just don't know we're watching.

Wow, that looks exactly like some kind of "motivational quote" that my relatives might post on Facebook. I wonder if you attributed this to some famous person and seeded it on the internet somewhere, how far it would travel.

One of the first signs that we're moving into a post-AI world will be an AI New Age guru-bot running a self-branded business generating "inspiring" quotes, books, and YT vids with no human intervention.

Ah relative AI advancement - smarter than humans only because some have degraded themselves to be indistinguishable from literal noise.

Do you think the comment you're replying to is against fake diamonds because they want you to buy real diamonds?

The comment expresses the view that the whole diamond thing is bollocks. It's just oddly melodramatic in my opinion and takes these wild swings that spam comments on my WordPress blog take.
