I'm constantly surprised that people are fighting vigorously to post AI-generated comments but want to be read by human eyeballs.

Look, if it's that important to you that you post AI-content, there are numerous places that will allow it with no humans reading it at all!

Why is it so important to you that the AI comments have to be consumed by humans?

I mean, why fight for the output of you bot to be read by humans? Why not simply go to those AI-filled places where no human will ever read the output of your bot?

Thanks for showing us an example of the straw man fallacy! Keep them coming!
