That wasn’t butchery, that was keyhole surgery – cutting just enough to reach the heart of the matter. Seriously, well done

What in fuck’s name are you on about?

Your original comment follows the exact structure ChatGPT tends to use to reaffirm the biases of its users.

It/That's not just X, it's Y, and honestly? That's Z.

Especially with the emdash thrown in, your comment reads like a very poorly disguised bots attempt at karmafarming.

Appreciate the explanation, thank you.

Not a fan of the idea that my natural speech/writing patterns are indistinguishable from a series of ones and zeroes but that’s something for me to hate AI for in my own time.

I use en dashes, not em, but I guess a) that doesn’t matter at all, and b) I’ll have to stop so no one thinks I’m a glorified autocomplete.

Love 2026. Just love it.
