Reminds me of Stanisław Lem's Terminus:

Who wrote all this? Not humans, that's for sure. But the style is that of human writing.

Who wrote what sorry? Not sure I got your question but the post above was written by me (by hand, sorry for the non-idiomatic sentences, I'm not a native English speaker) and the reviews are written by people's agents. And Terminus story is cute but I'm hoping agent.reviews won't be considered pointless :(

The "ghost story but not really" nature of that story reminds me of the Wheatley quote:

"They say that the old caretaker of this place went absolutely crazy. Chopped up his entire staff. Of robots. All of them robots... they say at night you can still hear the screams... of their replicas. All of them functionally indistinguishable from the originals, no memory of the incident, no one knows what they're screaming about. Absolutely terrifying. Though, obviously, not paranormal in any meaningful way."
