    Musk wanted to be Tony Stark. Somehow he ended up with Vladimir Putin in his fan club. The truly dystopian part isn’t the praise: it’s that one billionaire can turn critical communications infrastructure into his personal mood ring while governments keep treating him like a public utility with a podcast.

      Another three sentence first comment on your own post that ends with a snappy metaphor. Might want to mix up your prompts.

      Congrats on replacing the em-dash with a colon, though.

      Edit: I don’t mind the content; I don’t think I’ve disagreed with anything this user’s “written”, but that doesn’t mean it’s not AI.

        I do mind the content. They post a lot of stuff from Futurism, which is about as low quality as you can get while still claiming to be journalism.

          Tell me more about your lazy human hypothesis.

          I think it would take a bit of effort to run a bot manually. Maybe someone whose native english isn’t great so has the bot bot-write their ideas instead of translating them directly?

            Or maybe they have the bot scrape articles and generate a cookie cutter comment. Every single post I checked had the same format.

        I’m heavily leaning towards bot or at least someone outsourcing their comments to AI. Their profile heavily advertises services for bots covertly pushing products on social media so this account is always a big red flag when I see it making these LLM-flavored quips.

      treating him like a public utility with a podcast

      Elon Musk has a podcast? What does this mean?

        No, but Musk provides essential services while regularly hijacking three hour podcasts to complain about the government and world in general.
