I hate that one of the things I need to do with new comments on my techblog is squint at them and ask myself "is this extruded AI slop blather that's intended to attract visitors to the commentator's site that's also mostly extruded AI slop blather, or is this someone who is just not good at writing and maybe not using English as their first language?"
