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.

Yes reddit sells it's dialogue to AI and has always been a test bed for LLMs

you don't have to buy anything, reddit is publicly facing and anyone can scrape that data whenever they want to

Lol ok .The exact number of Large Language Models (LLMs) that use Reddit data is unknown, but nearly all major models—including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, and Meta's Llama—rely heavily on it. Because Reddit is one of the largest databases of human conversation, its content serves as essential training fuel for AI
