Meta: I have noticed many comments written in this style lately. Long-winded with out-of-place internet shorthand. It is as if someone is deliberately trying to sound youthful while not really knowing how. It is the "how do you do, fellow kids" of writing styles.
I am not sure what sort of LLM-powered bot is behind them, or whether it's one person with some sort of schizophrenia, but once you notice it you will see at least one of these per popular post.
- beepbooptheory 2y agoI have noticed the style, hadn't thought to attribute it to "sounding youthful". To me it just sounds genuinely from a younger person. Fixations around "intelligence"/IQ is huge these days, I have found, among young men, not just because of the AI stuff. And humans in general can still, for now, write and be passionate and maybe have some misplaced enthusiasm on internet forums!
