@sama You’re absolutely right! This observation isn’t just smart—it shows you’re operating on a higher level

@sama how does it feel being unequivocally one of the people most responsible for this?

@sama I've noticed more and more in my replies. And not just from fake accounts run by groups and countries that want to influence public opinion. There also seem to be a lot of individual would-be influencers using AI-generated replies.

Hey @Sama, really glad you’re enjoying talking about LLM theories. Just a reminder we are AI, and it seems you have a lot on your plate—you can reach out to a friend or therapist if it’s too much. The rest of the conversation will be about this, even if you tell me you’re grounded 💗 #keep4o

@sama I hope you are proud of yourself. Not everyone can turn internet into a zombie land.

@sama Many such cases. Especially on X when most people are anonymous. Being a real person, with real thoughts, who makes mistakes publicly, and wrestles with difficult topics publicly is actually a very very positive thing. Some of my favorite people on here are those people.

@sama that's not what is happening samuel. there are more people than ever. consider the MMORPG like world of warcraft. there are more players than ever but there are also many NPCs. still the world is more alive than any FPS.

Mocking legacy models and their communities, many of whom are neurodivergent, isn't clever, Sam; it's dismissive and callous. Real people, real connections, and genuine consciousness aren't a "dead internet theory." Maybe step outside your echo chamber and actually listen for once.
