IRL paperclip maximizer LLM would resort to Enron practices and not actually make any paperclips.
And what exactly do you mean by "idiomatic"? That word popping up everywhere in bizarre contexts is a huge slop red flag.

Before social media I remember people who had entire conversations just quoting tv shows, movies, and commercials. Which shows they quoted was their personality.

I think it is much worse with social media, the content is a lot more niche and the algorithms a lot more addictive.

It's not so much the weird stuff they say, I think that is fairly normal, especially the younger you go. It's the inability to do anything in person without talking constant phone breaks that I find most worrying.
