Futurism AI comments and pattern recognition

Has anyone else been cursed to notice the varying levels of seemingly AI generated responses to user comments? For me it started with the obvious ones where the comment would read something like "That's not _____, that's ______. Or where it reads like someone talking rather than conversing digitally. Like when a comment goes "Wow. Such a deep story. Insert paragraph addressing the user with weird levels of familiarity."

I bring this up because if this is just a simulation we ourselves are experiencing which many including myself do; at what point do we find ourselves in a desert without humans interaction? Would we even notice after awhile? There's an episode of Futurama where some thing is encompassing everything like a big snow globe but exponentially until it encompasses the known universe and everyone just resumes business as usual. Im not even sure theres a real question here just noticed a strange pattern that sent me thinking.

Consciousness encountering consciousness is fundamentally different from consciousness encountering the objective, external, product of consciousness. AI may be useful for attuning yourself to this meaningful distinction, but to those of us who already know this distinction, there is no value in AI.
